Great CD! His play on words is amazing!

"You must always listen to Bruton's music several times before you truly appreciate what he is saying and playing. In my opinion, he's one of the best writers around. His play on words will cause you to relate and think about certain situations. The different type sounds on several of the songs are completely different when compared to the first two CD's, and it's somewhat distracting at first. Overall, the more you play the CD, the more addicting it becomes. Great music/words!"

Great Songwriter!!!

"Wonderful road music! Take this for a spin on a sunny day, top down, in your '56 Pontiac Fire Chief. Bruton is undoubtedly one of the clever songwriters of his time. He is rapidly moving the Austin Sound from Folk/Country to "Austin Rock". His tunes continue on a path blazed by the likes of Tom Petty. Unlike Petty, Bruton plays his own guitar leads and they are built out of guitarist fantasies. This is a different album for Bruton and breaks some from the style of his first two albums. Bonnie Raitt sang on his two previous albums: "Right on Time" and "What It Is". On this album Jennifer Warnes sings background vocals, Mickey Raphael (usually with Willie Nelson) is on Harmonica, Sean Hopper (usually with Huey Lewis) is on Hammond B-3 Organ. The first two albums seem to only be available at his concerts or on the stephenbruton.com web site. It would be great if Amazon.com had them for sale. The stephenbruton.com web site had some interesting pictures of his days as Bonnie Raitt's guitarist. I hope you enjoy this Bruton experience as much as I do."
