"Had never heard of Deryl until I saw "Friends Don't Drive Friends" video on CMT recently. I went to the internet to find out as much as as I could about him because his sound takes me back to the old WWVA days, too long ago to think about! They were good sounds and so is Deryl's. I was so excited to get this CD from a promotion through BMG and there is not one song that couldn't stand on its own. So many times when you purchase a CD there's a lot of lost time between good songs but every song on this one is great. Deryl has an unforgettable voice, a sound that you'll recognize every time you hear him and such a sincere delivery that makes you not want the songs to end. I play mine over and over and never get tired of it. I read an article where he laughed about people calling him a "throwback" but I think that was a compliment of the best kind. That means that he is singing REAL music and has the REAL country sound to do it. He's not "pop", he's COUNTRY. So much of the music now isn't genuine COUNTRY like I grew up with but Deryl's songs bring back a lot of good memories and definitely exude COUNTRY at its best! You can just about hear the tears in his voice when he sings the sad songs and you can see him just a swingin' when he sings "Bad for Good"! He's delivering himself, heart and soul, when he sings, totally genuine, somewhat shy, and that draws you to him. I was so glad to hear that he is well enough to be doing some shows after quite an extended recovery period from his illness. Was so sorry to have missed him when he was in Orlando. Can't wait for him to expand his tours into my area and when he does I'll be the first one there! Deryl might have taken a slight setback due to his illness but I'm sure he'll back stronger than before and his name will be among the GREATS "somewhere down the road"."

God meant THIS when he said "Country Music"

"For the naysayers who proclaim that Country is (again) "onit's way out", purchase, borrow or steal this CD! Deryl is one ofthe most talented performers - Country or otherwise- to come along ina long, long time, evident in his songwriting, arrangements, vocals -the whole ball of wax. Plenty of artists today are only mildlytalented, causing some to wonder if it's true that anybody these dayscan get a recording contract... not so with Deryl Dodd. His rock n'roll approach to good old-fashioned, hardworkin', downhome countrymusic will leave you pining for more with the ending of every song,and the bluesy cuts- ohhh, those bluesy cuts...(excuse me, I need tobe alone for a few seconds) well, they speak for themselves. Deryl isas good in concert, if not better- as he is in studio. I only wishthat while listening to the CD I could see him - singing with thoseeyes closed; that sexy little grin on the most adorable face on theplanet, and Heavens above ...those 13MWZ's... Deryl Dodd is God's giftto Wranglers. And you can't get that on a CD. (sigh....) But this isthe closest thing to it.... A Deryl Dodd CD is as good as a 2 weekpaid vacation!"

Deryl Dodd is clearly the greatest newguy
