"Sadly Gary died last month before his time. These two albums were his finest and two of the finest country records ever."

Gary Stewart's best stuff.

"These are both recordings I have from back in the 1970's. I was very happy to see them on CD, as I am without a record player or turntable now. These two "records" show the versatility of Mr. Stewart from the rock-style "Leah" and "I Ain't Living Long Like This" to the true-country of the songs "I See The Want To In Your Eyes", "Leah", and "Broken Hearted People". The bluegrass sound of "Pretend I Never Happened" is a musical trip down a Kentucky dirt road. Gary Stewart was, I think, at his musical and instrumental best on these two albums. His versatility on these show from the guitar work to the piano which he played equally well.

This is what I call REAL country music, the kind Nashville has seemed to forget over the years. Mr. Stewart had a unique voice, and you can hear the fun as well as the pain in it. Anyone interested in GREAT country music needs to acquire this double set on one disc (great idea!).

Timeless and Terrific

"These songs sound as great today as they did in the 70's...in fact, thanks to outstanding remastering, they probably sound better. Gary's style and range remains unsurpassed, and his powerful, haunting vocals bring pathos and emotion to many outstanding songs. This belongs in the collection of all serious country music aficionados."
