Fantastic-- Great singer/songwriter
E. C Goodstein | Northern CA United States | 12/07/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a terrific Bear Family project-- a wonderful compilation of excellent East Texas singer's Capitol Records sides (late '40's/early '50's). He draws from the Western swing tradition of Bob Wills and Spade Cooley, but also has some of the simpler, heartfelt honky tonk approach of Hank Williams, and a very nice. expressive tenor voice. He's best known for the hit "I Love You Because," but the whole album has gems that are worth hearing. Excellent, detailed booklet too and interesting bio. George Jones recorded a whole album of Payne's songs, Wilie Nelson cites him as significant early influence and you can see why he's esteemed. This guy is fantastic-- I wish/hope more of his work gets released!!!"
