"There were no customer reviews for this CD, so I ordered it not knowing exactly what this is. Now that I have listened to it - for other curious customers - this is a 2 disc audio biography that you might hear on a radio show, with a narrator describing, interviewing, and playing snippets of songs. The person who wrote, produced, narrated and mixed it is Ron Lyons and is obvious how much Mickey Newbury's music has meant to him. It is very interesting and I am not sorry I purchased it. However, it is not anything you would put in your iPod. I'll find some other people to share this with and it will end up shelved as an interesting item. There are a few songs in entirety but they are part of the band of narration. You wouldn't be able to just bring up that song. I will be on the look out now for Mickey Newbury's albums which seem to be pretty hard to find. I think any fan of Mickey Newbury would definitely enjoy this!"

"To not know of or hear Mickey's music is missing out on one of the best songwriters America had to offer in Music. I have never had anyone of any music taste, not like Newbury's Style of music. With all the junk and noise out there now, His music is a wonderful place to go. It's different and sometimes hard to follow but that's what makes it special. You actually find yourself focusing into the words and more importantly, the messages. Mickey is a refreshing diversion from the rest of the world around you."
