Hi folks,I thought I would include a picture of myself at mydesk while studiously working hard during thislockdown.Like many in the entertainment industry we arebattling on without any support, trying to keep youup to date with events and so we are grateful for yourhelp again this month. It is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up withthe fast moving changes that the pandemic brings,especially as we gradually come out of lockdown so it

is important to call your regular club or one you wish to visit before attending,even if it is not mentioned in these pages.When we begin each issue it is a mammoth task trying to sort the informationso it would be helpful to email rather than send messages via social media orMessenger so we can get it all in one place. If you just use social media, which isall well and good, then be aware that it is here today and gone tomorrow andtrying to find it again is rather difficult. At least with Cross Country it is alwaysthere to look back at. While writing about social media, why not join our CrossCountry Magazine group on Facebook and set your notifications to keep up todate.We shall need agents to help sell the magazine around the circuit when we getback into print and, although it is early days, if there are any volunteers wewould like to add them to a possible list.Nigel Karney has asked some interesting questions within these pages so ifanyone has any answers then I am sure he and other readers would appreciatethem. Read his letter under the heading 3rd Sunday CMC, Surrey.Finally, it is goodbye to Lenny Whitehead who has been forced to retire. He isone of the stalwarts of the British Country scene who has been part of manygreat and quality acts, the likes of which we may not see again so good luck tohim and may I say the same to all those artists who have chosen this to retirerather than return after this pandemic.Take care and stay safe.

NewsI have been tied up recentlyand haven’t had a chanceto do more videos, theytake a long time. The latest one is Plain

Loco in 1992. They werevery popular at the time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJKGNZaL6-k.Plain Loco was formed bySteve Jay in 1990. Theoriginal line-up was SteveJay (bass, harmonica andlead vocals), John HenryFord (pedal steel guitar),Tim Relf (drums) andTony Caldwell (lead guitarand vocals). Steve beganhis career in the late 1960sspending seven years inpop band The next one, hopefully,will be Sarah Jory Band.I haven’t heard of anyclubs in the HomeCounties returning yet. Iknow indoor live music isnow allowed but with nodancing yet which will put

many people off. I will go to ChichesterCMC if their gig with PeteBrazil is still on in a coupleof weeks., it is one of thefew listening clubs in thesouth east.Also I just asked Jo at theCarolina if she has anythoughts about returning,she said ‘Hi Nick, thankyou, I am enjoying your oldvideos. ‘I am waiting to hear fromthe school, it was said afterhalf term (October) but I'mnot holding my breath.‘Hope you are keepingsafe.’I have also uploadedanother vintage video toYouTube, this is Sarah Jory& The Sarah Jory Band atthe Congleton CMC inCheshire on 24thNovember 1994.Congleton was a concertvenue and this video showsmulti-instrumentalist Sarahat her very best. Sarah wasa regular visitor to theCongleton Country MusicClub, always attracting alarge audience. In 1994 club organiserDerek Lawrence bookedthe Congleton Town Hallas the usual club venue atBuglawton was too small toaccommodate the largenumber of people whoalways wanted to see her.Sarah Jory was born inReading, Berkshire in1969. She loved herparents’ Country recordsand began playing steel

guitar when she was five;her musical talents werequickly recognised. She appeared in a Countryclub the following year andmade her television debutwhen she was eight. Herfather Arthur became hermanager and she joinedColorado Country. Herfirst album Sarah’s SteelLine released in 1981, washowever made with theWarrington band Poacher.She worked with ColoradoCountry for four years,followed by an assortmentof gigs while she completedher schooling. She regularlywent to the USA playing atsteel guitar conventionsand at thirteen she playedat the Steel GuitarConvention in St. Louiswith Buddy Emmons,regarded by many as theworld's foremost pedal steelguitarist of his day. In 1985she spent some timedeveloping a new actaround the pub circuit inBristol and formed a new,fully professional band. In1985, the British CountryMusic Association votedSarah 'The Most PromisingNew Act', followed bybeing voted the 'FemaleVocalist of the Year' fornine consecutive years bythe BCMA. She was alsovoted European CountryRock Entertainer of theYear.In 1992 she signed to RitzRecords releasing a single,Never Had It So Good and

an album, New Horizons,that year. Two furtheralbums followed in 1994and 1995.In 2007 Sarah Jory was theeighth Inductee into theBritish Country Music Hallof Fame. She played pedalsteel with the VanMorrison band during2006 and 2009 andperformed on his albums,Keep It Simple and AstralWeeks Live at theHollywood Bowl.In 2009 she performedwith the group Essence ofIreland on a major tour.She continues to performboth as a solo artist, as aguest band member atnumerous festivals inEurope and with her bandthroughout the UK. In September 2018 shecelebrated her 40thanniversary with a minitour. To coincide with thetour, she released a new cdSarah Jory - The 40thAnniversary 2018, thisincluded four new tracks.For the tour she wasreunited with some of herformer band membersShane O'Borne on leadguitar, Tony Kaempf onbass guitar (since 1985),Dave Bailey on keys andBarrie Cooper on drums.If you enjoy the videoplease comment and/orlike on You Tube as thatwill improve our rankingsand encourage You Tuneto promote other BritishCountry videos.

Hello Rob,Greetings from 3rd SundayCMC in Woking.I thought it may be helpfulto update you on where weare at. I also organise all the musicentertainment at the socialclub where our Countrymusic club is held. We haverecently been givenpermission by our localcouncil to run live musicperformances, although itis subject to tight Covid-19control measures including:Restricted audiencenumbers to reflect socialdistancing; Musicians withsocial distancing betweenthem (except those who livetogether; No dancing;Audience to remain seatedexcept to use facilities andpurchase drinks; andmusic to be at moderatevolumes (people should nothave to raise their voices tohave conversations.These are in addition toour other hygiene controlswithin the club (eg: signingin all attendees; staffbehind screens; one-wayroute; and anti-bacterialgels and sprays, etc). We have also been givenapproval to recommencedancing lessons providedthese are also controlledwith social distancing, nochanging partners and heldin a well ventilated space.On that basis I plan onrecommencing our partner

dancing lessons in October(monthly on Sundayafternoons).I am not recommencingthe CMC as this is heavilyreliant on a line dancingaudience and I am not surethat this can be organisedsafely indoors or that mylargely female audiencewould be confident toattend at present. We arenot a 'listening audience'CMC nor would I want usto become one. I would be really interestedto know if any other clubsare restarting line dancingindoors. What has beentheir experience and howthey organise this; are theymarking out the dancefloorand restricting the dancesto ones that are essentially'on the spot' (no weaves/vines and only 180 degreeturns, etc)? Also, I wonder if any linedance teachers are givingthought to putting togethera repertoire of 'on the spot'dances.Thank you for everythingyou are doing to keep ourCMC communities alive. Itis all very challenging atpresent but, frankly, Icannot see much scope fora major restart until wehave a vaccine in play.Kind regards,Nigel Karney, Woking,Surrey. Tel: 07783 518771 / 01483828675.

3rd Sunday CMC, SurreyHi Rob,We have just been to theQuickdraw Festival andwanted to say what a greatjob Charlie & Lynda Greenand the reduced Quickdrawteam have done getting thefestival on and overcomingall the hurdles put in theirway. We would also like to thankall the artists.The format was verydifferent this year, it wasoutside with everyone inbubbles and was wellorganised and ran smoothlyafter a few teethingproblems getting everyoneto understand and complywith the Covid rules. Theweather even played a partwith heavy rain for some ofthe time on the Friday and

Sunday but the audiencestuck to their guns andremained watching.It was lovely to see andhear the artists, most ofwhom played new songswhich they had learnedduring lockdown. In our opinion Kay D wasthe star of the show, hervoice is outstanding andher two sets included lots ofthe new songs she hasmastered during lockdown.We have already bookedfor next year and arelooking forward to going,hopefully with it back tothe normal format.Regards,Clive & Lynda Jones.

Bourne To LinedanceHi,A month ago I suffered a series of TAIs or mini strokesand as a result I have been left with limited use of my lefthand and arm. I am still under the care of the hospitaland need more tests and treatment. However, it looks likemy musical careerhas been broughtto an unexpectedearly end. I have had manyhappy years ofperforming on theBritish Countrymusic scene withsome top artists,both homegrownand internationaland have madesome wonderfulfriends -performers andfans alike. I have been veryfortunate to workall over the UK, Europe and the USA, be it on stage, tv,radio or even on the high seas! It's been great fun most ofthe time. I hope, for the sake of the British Country music sceneand all of my friends that you can all get back to workand the fans can get back to supporting the valuable cluborganisers who all work so hard to bring joy andfriendship to so many people nationwide. I guess you don't know what you have until it is takenaway.Best wishes. Love and peace. Len Whitehead, Guitarist (former).

Clint Bradley wins AWA award

LettersHi Rob,On Thursday August 13thin Fort Worth, Texas I wasawarded Western MaleArtist of the Year by theAcademy of WesternArtists (AWA).Unfortunately, because ofCovid-19 travel restrictionsin the United States I wasunable to attend theawards ceremony, however,I was able to watch theceremony unfold over a livestream and was on the‘edge of my seat’ as Iwaited to find out if I hadwon the best artist award -which was the last categoryof the night. I’m extremelyhonoured to be the firstBritish artist to win.I had also been due toperform at the ceremonyand fully intended to bethere, had it not been forthe travel restriction to theUSA. I now have an agentin the US and am working

on a tour which willhopefully happen after thecurrent situation ends.Fortunately I hit the roadearly in January andFebruary with my westernband and was able tocomplete a very successfulScandinavian theatre tourbefore the travel bans andlockdowns started. We thenplayed a series of shows inGermany and Holland,returning to England withonly a day to spare beforelockdown started, so wewere very lucky. There’s no denying that thevirus has reaped havocacross the whole musicscene, regardless of whichgenre you work within. Ihave lost 90 percent of allmy live shows for 2020,which was shaping up to bean excellent year, gig wise.However I am nowworking on reschedulingfor 2021. Of course, all of

us are praying that thecurrent situation will bebehind us by 2021. I hadbegun to look at thepossibility of pre-production on my nextwestern album beginningin late 2021 but those planswill now be delayed untilthe future is a little clearer.Most independent labels,

including the one that Irecord for, have had to haltall 2020 releases, so there isa very large backlog to betaken care of before anynew projects can begin.Very best wishes,Clint Black.www.clintbradley.co.uk https://www.facebook.com/ClintBradleyuk/.

Golden Spur closedDear Readers,We have closed the doorsto the Golden Spur inTerling, Essex, after havingrun the club for 11 years;we took over from Johnwho ran the club for over30 years prior to us.

LettersHi Rob,Like so many others, ourline and partner dancingcame to a crashing halt inMarch with theannouncement of Covid-19 restrictions andlockdown. Our plannedsocial dances had to becancelled too and I am sureit has made us all the moreaware of how much wevalued the fun, laughterand exercise we all sharedtogether.At Mulepackers, we werevery quick to set up aZoom platform where wecould all "virtually" meet,dance together and learnnew dances. It was a steeplearning curve into LOLMlicensing, optimisingBroadband speeds, sharingscreen music for optimal

sound and hosting andmanaging the Zoom room.In spite of the challenges,we've had a large numberof our members "comingalong" 2 or 3 times perweek. We've backed thisup with supplementaryteaching sessions for ourmembers on our website.We've enjoyed learning"Pen to Paper", "MoreThan You'll Ever Know"and "Down to theHonkytonk". It's been veryreassuring for us to seeeach other through thesechallenging times wherethe loneliness and anxietyof social isolation can takeits toll.We've also had some zoomparty nights where peoplehave sung, playedinstruments, told jokes and

introduced and comparedtheir cats, dogs and evenfavourite childhood teddybears. It has certainly keptour spirits up.We started to have somesmall outdoor get-togetherswhich necessitated a lot ofreading guidelines, extrainsurance and safetymeasures, but these weregreat fun and brought thenew discipline of dancingbetween our newlyacquired football/sportscones. The weather hasbeen reasonably kind to us,but now we are enteringautumn and winter, thismight not be so easy.As village halls andcommunity centres aretentatively opening up, weare keeping a finger on thepulse. Several of our

venues, we fear, are toosmall to allow us thenecessary and safe socialdistancing, but we may beon the brink of hiring areally large hall whichallows us very wide berths,good ventilation and all themitigations possible. It is atricky one as everybody'ssituations are different. Weare also very mindful of themental health issues thatcan result from feelingisolated, so quite a few ballsto juggle!Please include our detailsin your club listings as wecontinue to do our best tostay together and keepdancing. Best wishes andstay safe everyone.Mike and Mel,Mulepackers CWDC

It is still on a bookingsystem though so get intouch via message or texton 07758 838557 to bookyour place for the 10thSeptember with ChrisRaddings. Our room canaccommodate 350 people

under normalcircumstances therefore 50people allows for adequatesocial distancing. We willalso be looking at ways wemay be able to allow somedancing moving forward byspacing tables in bubbleswhich encompass a spacefor that table to dance in.This is just an idea at themoment which we willdiscuss with the committee.Regards, Steve Hanks.

Hi all,We’ve done a range of 15minute line dance videoson YouTube for our classes(nine so far) - obviouslybecause of the lockdown.There are four dances onevery video. So 36 dancesin total with no talking, justdancing.The response from ourclasses has been really goodand they have all said thatit is helping them keeptheir hands in - as it were.So it’s been well worth it.The crucial bit is that wehave largely kept thedances on the easy and/orfamiliar side so that theycan dance easily once theyhave started and don’t needto follow the video all thetime. Also, this way themusic and dances are ‘setup’ so its easy to just clickon the video and getdancing.Of course its totally free -no charge!There are very quick walkthroughs at the end of thevideos - if needed.

There is a range of levelsfrom beginner tointermediate.

Anyway, it has workedbrilliantly for us and so wethought it may be of use toothers.For our club we are waitinguntil the beginning ofOctober to start up againbut we’ll see!There are three ways to seethe videos:-1 - Go to this address foran example video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dG-b3UcGKU.2 - Access the video fromthe home page of ourwebsite and then click onany video -www.vmyers.com.3 - go to YouTube andenter: ABCoasters LineDance - and they will belisted thereThere is a new dance alongvideo every Saturdaymorning.Take care all and stay safe.Val Myers & TanyaHawkesworth.

LettersHi Mal & Rob,I have been following thenew Facebook page thatyou have been running. I have been nowhere eventhough Julie and Fred atPheonix Rebels haveopened with distancing andCovid-19 compliance and Iam not intending to beventuring out as yet. Here in South Ribble,which is next to Prestonand near to Blackburn, weare in special measures sofor now we are notchancing going out andmixing. I still haven't beenfurther than the post boxyards away from my gate.I think everyone wasthinking at first that itwouldn't be going on forthis length of time. I have spoke to Julie andshe confirmed that most ofmy Cross Countrycustomers have notreturned. I am putting the feelers outto see if anyone will wantto have a magazine via

social distancing for thenext issue but at present Icannot commit to takingon the usual order. As regards to the gigs Iusually send in, no oneapart from Julie appears tobe opening and of courseeven they are not sure ifthey will be able tocontinue. Obviously theyare hoping they can do butthese times are sounpredictable. I just thought I had best letyou know what my positionis as I would hate you tosend my usual magazinesto find I can not sell them.I hope you are bothkeeping safe and well.through these uncertaintimes.Jean Berry, Lancashire.

Hi Jean, you are in the samepredicament as we are and sowithout any clubs nor agents weare continuing to stay with adigital publication rather thanwaste money thereby avoidingtotally closing down if possible.

Hi Rob,It’s looking very unlikelythat I will be able to putdance classes and livemusic events at Route 66 inWorthing for theforeseeable future. Mymain hall is a secondaryschool and consequently afairly high riskenvironment. 90 percent ofmy dancers are in theretired age range and Ineed to consider theirsafety too. If I am allowed back thisyear, classes will be

restricted to 30, sociallydistancing dancers and nolive music for the present.Consequently the followingsocial dance events arecancelled. October 10th - JohnDoherty; and November14th - Martin Jaye.These are sad times for ourindustry and I wisheveryone a safe return tosome sort of normality. Regards,Mike Howarth, Route 6, Worthing, West Sussex.

LettersHi Cross Cpuntry,We previously had tocancel our dances forMarch, April, May, andJune, we don’t have anydances in July and August.Our village hall is re-opening on 1st Septemberbut at the moment hasrestrictions, such as onlygatherings of 30 people or

less and no live music etc.This would not be feasiblefor our club so we have hadto cancel our dance for26th September. We’re not sure about therest of the year yet, we willkeep your magazineinformed.Thanks, Carol, Quinn’sRaiders, Hampshire.

Quinn’s Raiders, Eastleigh, HampshireDear Readers,Firstly, we would like tothank Rob & Mal for theirgreat work for stillcontinuing the magazineon line and keeping us intouch.Fortunately, life goes on formost of us but in a worldrendered very different tothat which we knew. Wehave been told we couldreturn to our venue shortlyif we were able to complywith the Governmentguidelines re Covid-19. Of course, for a full-ondance club this is just notpossible and not justbecause of socialdistancing. In the meantime, we mustthank and congratulateFred (of Fred & Linda) whoby plant selling and bootfairs has donated anabsolutely magnificent£800 to our charities - AirAmbulance and CLICSergeant. Well done Fred,you are amazing. We willshortly be forwarding atotal of £2,200 betweenthese two charities and wealso thank all those whohave helped raise thisamount through a verylimited club year. Our thoughts go out to allthose who have suffered aloss during this pandemic.Also to the NHS employeeswho have stuck to theirposts regardless of risk tothemselves and familiesand finally, merely in thecontext of this letter, to allthe performers who are

undoubtedly experiencinggreat hardships. We find the currentsituation frustrating to saythe least and there does noteven appear to be aglimmer of light on thehorizon. Only recentlyhave the Arts have beenhanded a multi billionpound rescue package inorder for them to protecttheir staff and overheads.Somewhat fortunately, wehave no staff nor very fewoverheads but it appears tobe extremely unlikely thatclubs will re-open as longas social distancing exists.With seating and dancing,few clubs, if any, couldcomply even with the onemetre ruling, let alone paya performer along with theoverheads.It seems highly unlikelythat venues such as ourswill be able to open beforethe end of the year andeven if there was furtherrelaxing of the rules thereare many who would justnot want to take the risk ofjoining a crowd, no matterhow responsible.Our sincerest apologises toall our members, visitors,agents and performers andwe trust that you willunderstand our actions inthis matter and we hope tosee you all in the not toodistant future. In the meantime all pleasestay safe, well and takecare. All good wishes Paul &Penney, Kent.

Album reviews

The Secret Sisters havereleased three full lengthalbums since 2010 includingtheir more recent, 2017’sYou Don’t Own MeAnymore for which the twinsreeived a nomination forBest Folk Album at the 60thannual Grammy awards. Saturn Return was recordedin Washington State and has10 songs written by Lauraand Lydia Rogers andfeatures the sisters singing

individually for the first time,instead of relying solely ontheir trademark harmonies,which are impeccable. The album heralds thearrival of a new era for theladies who have bothundergone extreme changeand transformation duringthe making of this album.They sing of struggle, ofageing and of coming toterms with the realities oflife, whether good or bad.

The songs on this album areall of equal merit and it is,for me, top drawer material. If I was pressed to pick outfavourites they would beLate Bloomer, Hand OverMy Heart, Tin Can Angeland Water Witch. Brill!

Seasoned entertainers, assolo performers, together asSavannah or as part of theband Louisiana, ChrissyByrne and Mark Smithbring us their latest cd, StillHolding Things Together.They begin their ridethrough the Country musiccycle mixing traditionalwith modern and whatbetter way to start than withthe dance floor filler, LoveHer For A While, recordedby Sam Outlaw, which is a

good way to start thismusical myriad of soundswith Mark taking the leadvocals. Chrissy keeps the uptempo mood going with thesong Snowbird which wasfirst recorded in 1969 byGene MacLellan and shedelivers this songbeautifully. The dreamyballad, If I Could Only Flyslows the tempo downbefore we are off again withJolene and Evangelina, SingMe Back Home and the

fabulous First Fool In Linewhich is always included inmost UK acts repertoire.Holding Things Together,Texas Time, Things I CarryAround, Blame It On YourHeart, Footlights andSomething Stupid end thisexcellent cd.I cannot complimentChrissy and Mark enoughon their choice of songs,vocals and production,which are all first class.Brill!

Album reviews

Larkin Poe is an Americanroots rock duo originallyfrom north Georgiacurrently living in Nashville,Fronted by sisters, RebeccaLovell and Megan Lovell,their music features strongsouthern harmonies togetherwith heavy electric guitarriffs and slide guitar. They performed at the 2014and 2016 Glastonburyfestivals and were voted BestDiscovery of Glastonbury

2014. Both sisters have also touredas backing musicians for avariety of other artists, mostnotably Elvis Costello,Conor Oberst of BrightEyes, Kristian Bush ofSugarland and Keith Urban.Self Made Man follows their2018 album, Venom & Faith,which was nominated forBest Contemporary BluesAlbum at this year’sGrammy awards.

A lot is often bandiedaround regarding what isand what isn’t Countrymusic, which is a matter oftaste. This album for me is afar cry from the Countrymusic which I enjoy andwould be better beingpromoted down the rockchic road, it was not for meI’m afraid. There is no doubt the sistersharmonise well.

Larkin Poe - Self Made Man

The song Troubadour is aballad in which the narratorreflects on his life as atroubadour, feeling that heis content with what he hasaccomplished. I was ayoung troubadour when Irode in on a song / I'll bean old troubadour when I'mgone. One asks oneselfcould this be the thoughts ofMartin Jaye who has nowreleased his new album,Troubadour! Included in this selection

are a variety of well knownCountry songs, both classicand modern, whichcompliment each other. We start our muiscal pathwith the excellent All MyEx’s Live In Texas recordedin 1987 by my favouriteartist George Strait. CheapCologne, Imagine That andLost Highway come nextwith the tongue in cheeksong, I’m Still Not Dead,sung originally by WillieNelson.

The dance floor filler, LoveTrip gets us on our feet nextand carries us on to JimmyBuffett’s Margaritaville.Guitar Town, WeymoreBlues, Things I CarryAround, Frame Of Mindand the title track, ofcourse, Troubadour.This Highway and WastedTime which were bothwritten by Martin bringsthis variety of tunes to anice end.

Martin Jaye - Troubadour

It has taken PatsyThompson 12 years torecord this new album. Dueto family obligations she hashad to put her career on theback burner but now thingsare looking much rosier. It’sa new beginning and a timeto move on for her. What matters is that theCanadian born singer/songwriter made her way toTexas and back and nowWest Coast audiences willonly be better for it.

Fabulous Day is her 6th cdproduced by Chris Rolinwho also lent hisextraordinary guitar talentsthroughout the album.Patsy has a rich tone oneminute, moving onto a rawedge the next and thensmooth and tender with ahint of soul. The title track, FabulousDay begins the first of 10tracks on the album, it is aroaring number which takesyou on a ride full of passion

before we move on to NeonLights and Picking You Up,a foot stomping song.Dreamin’ slows the mooddown to a musical interludeof wonder and is for me thebest song on the album.Other tracks worth amention are Passion and IThink About You. This album is aptly namedbecause I thought it was justfabulous and well worth thewait.

Album reviews

Born in Massachusetts andraised in Western CanadaSuzie Ungerleider issinger/songwriter OhSusanna, who is set torelease her album, SleepyLittle Sailor in a deluxeedition which will beavailable on cd, digital andvinyl. Featuring 11 songs, five ofwhich are acousticrecordings, including thetitle track, Sleepy Little

Sailor brought her a newfound platform for hersongs in 2000. They havenow been beautifully re-worked. Also included aresix previously unreleasedrecordings alongside theoriginal album. River Blueand Kings Road are newlyrecorded while Sleepy LittleSailor, Sacrifice and BeautyBoy are taken from theoriginal demo sessions.These songs are as powerful

today as they were 20 yearsago. There is no doubt that herpared back acousticversions highlight theeffortless strength of herbewitching voice and hertalent for songwriting. With her emotive crystallinevoice and folky sound shehas been compared to anumber of Americanaartists, with Gillian Welchbeing one of them.

Oh Susanna - Sleepy Little Sailor - Deluxe Edition

The Cumberland RiverProject is the self-titledalbum from Germansongwriter, Frank Renfordt.He crosses a vast musicalsoundscape of Countrymusic with occasionalinfluences from pop to bluesto rock. Despite this diversity hisown songwriting isunmistakeable in all of the13 songs included whichwere inspired by Jon Pardi,Alan Jackson and Jason

Aldean. The opener, Back On TheRoad sets the tone of thesongs which areintermingled with somepunchy, drum and guitardriven sounds mixed withthe traditional elementsattributed to Countrymusic. Summer’s Gone,Hometown and what weare seeking at the moment -Craving For The Beach -are standout tracks for me.

After saying that I enjoyedlistening to every one of the13 songs on here which arewell worth a listen over andover again. There were oneor two tracks which I foundvery danceable and wouldbe a must for anychoreographers out there.This is a must have albumfor fans of solid Countrymusic with a penchant forBrothers Osborne, JoshTurner or Justin Moore.I loved it!
