"I have not heard most of these brilliant tracks since the seventies. The LP's are out of print and most folks outside of Texas have never heard of Rusty Weir. This CD brings it all back home. I was a teenage hard rocker when some friends cajoled me into going to a Dallas honky tonk called Whiskey River to see this genuine Texas troubador. After being exposed to the hard rocking "Sally Mae", the riff & twang of "Aqua Dulce", and the genre bending "Black Hat Saloon" I was hooked. The albums these tracks were culled from deserve to be heard by a new generation of country and/or rock fans. The songs fall comfortably in an acoustic setting and when the Fabulous Filler Brothers flat out wail. Whenever Wille & Waylon, Jerry Jeff or Michael Murphy are mentioned, Rusty Weir casts a giant shadow as a pioneer of the country/rock revolution of the mid seventies. And you know, it does make you wanna dance. Don't it?"

"I have been a huge fan ever since i "borrowed" "Don't It Make You Wanna Dance" from my college roommate in 1976. "Under My Hat" is great. You get 16 of Rusty's songs. He's got about 100 more. I have seen him live many times and I have never seen the same show twice."

"I'll never understand why Rusty Weir never really "caught on". I happened upon his music myself, while passing through Texas and in the company of a beautiful and generous young woman 30 years ago. Among the Texas Troubadors of old, I think no one can touch Rusty's complexity, but then, that's not really something usually associated with this genre. What I mean is, "Bob Wills Is Still The King" isn't exactly an opus, but Waylon was in the right place at the right time and apparently Rusty wasn't. Nevertheless, I still can't see why he didn't at least achieve the cult icon status of a Jimmy Buffet, etc., at the very least. This guy's good, folks. If you sort of like Jerry Jeff Walker, Ray Wiley Hubbard, et al, you'll love Rusty Weir, and this CD is a pretty good collection. 30 years, I wonder what she's doing right now. ;-)"
