"Jason Boland! What can I say. This is quite possibly the most fun CD ever recorded. Anyone who can listen to the title track and not think this is one of the all time greatest songs ever written just doesn't have any taste! Jason and his band left Oklahoma to do the Texas Honky Tonk Circuit. God Bless this last bastion of hope for real Country Music. Jason and The Stragglers have put together an awesome sound that is exactly what every great dance hall veteran would want to hear. Part outlaw, part Western Swing, all great music. Hard core. Somewhere Down In Texas makes me long to be back home. If I Ever Get Back to Oklahoma is a great dance. Drinkin Song is just an all out good time. Change in the Weather reminds me of what Buddy Guy would sound like if he was white! What a great Country Blues song. I simply love this cd. Thanks Lora! I love you for bringing this in the Cantina Party Truck!"
