(5 out of 5 stars)

"Five stars from the composer is a bit pretentious, I know! Please bear with me! As every hard-workin', family-lovin' man knows, balancing your love life and your work life ain't no easy task, 'specially if you ride the rodeo. But the job sure is a lot easier when you've got a truckload of country tunes to help you along (26! Count 'em!). This double-CD cast recording of the country-western musical revue LOVE AUSTIN features the talents of Jimmy Bryant singing the role of Austin and Melissa Greene singing Misty's role. Also appearing on the CD are Bryan Sutton (recently featured on Dolly Parton's LITTLE SPARROW CD) and a stellar group of backup singers (Dirk Donahue, Elizabeth Ledger, Carter Maysilles, Dave McCutcheon). Also featuring the harmonica prowess of Jason Amos Oaks. Jeff Zona played all guitars, Stuart Weed played bass, and J. Vincent Harris played drums. Composed, produced and arranged by John thomas Oaks. Lyrics by Andy Corbitt and John thomas Oaks."
