"Old western music that was heard so many times seemd to be fading. Then I heard Jim Hendricks instrumental arraingements that put new life into them, Each note is right. Several of the usual instruments for western music are blended in their own style to make each selection a refreshing new "oldie"."
I was forced to listen to this!

"And I loved it! I would have never selected this CD on my own, but a relative crammed it in a CD-player over the memorial day weekend and I instantly loved it. This is just great music. It is full of the kind of music you could listen to 1,000 times and not get bored with it."
Timeless Masterpiece

"You will NOT be dissappointed with any of Jim Hendricks productions of easy listening, downhome tunes, especially 'Under the Western Sky.' My husband and I have five of his albums so far and I just ordered two more, if that is any indication of our opinion. We just can't get enough of this talented man's music! It makes great background music when entertaining and guests often inquire about the pleasant music, which appeals to a wide audience. We listen to it frequently and never get tired of it."
A Timeless Rarity!

"Under The Western Sky is one of the most treasured, family-friendly folk albums in the market.Jim Hendricks is a very talented musician and he re-created the Old West like it is, even though this album is recorded in Nashville.I worked at a Six Flags park as a services host and one of the sections had 9 of the 12 masterpieces on this album in the background (with more rarities, I have yet to find them). I just recently came back there as a foods host.It's a shame none of this stuff is receiving airplay, and some of his albums are considered out of print.I gave this 4 out of 5 because I can do without the stupid sound effects."
