"Thanks to Mr Kerouac's ghost for posting his

enthusiastic review of this cd because although

I am a huge fan of Willie and Merle, his review

prompted me to buy it (well ...honestly, the

good price also helped the decision).



And a wise ghost he is because this cd is a gem

and it is rewarding to take a chance on a lesser

known release and be blown away by it. What can

I say? The songs are outstanding, the singing is

beyond outstanding, the musicians are top notch

and the production is sparse and beautifully tasteful.

Im not sure who the guitarist is but there are

some very impressive jazz licks layed down over

some of these tracks which surprise and delight me.



Although Willie is my guiding light, it is Merle's

voice here that puts me over the top. I have always

loved his voice and to me he is bar none the best

country singer of all time ..."the country Sinatra"

for sure.



One more comment on the mastering of the cd. It is

very, very good and sounds as if it has been remastered

although the product info does not indicate that it has.

That means the remastered copy of Pancho and Lefty which

I just ordered should really sound outa this world. So

listen to your friendly Kerouac ghost and journey to

the Seashores Of Old Mexico."

"All you have to do is relax and listen to this CD. If your heart isn't touched by WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE and IF I COULD ONLY FLY, LOVE MAKES A FOOL OF US ALL and especially, SILVER WINGS then you aren't listening! Both Willie and Merle were at the TOP of their careers here! A winner!"
