"Just when we become a bit disgusted over the condition of our country music industry, along comes an act that 'blows th' mind'! In this case, it's Jason Roberts.
Thanks to the great production job performed by Ray Benson and the featured star ... and the accompaniment of some of the finest musicians to be found in Texas ... Jason gives us one of the most tremendous jobs in western-swing to be heard in years!
Take any tune on this compilation and you feel the atmosphere of George Strait, Asleep-At-The-Wheel ... and you could swear Bob Wills was somewhere in the background with a big smile on his face!
This is a CD worthy of airplay anywhere good country music is appreciated."

When a fella hits the stage at13 years of age to play the fiddle with live bands, he's either real real good or else you already know everything you needed to about the bands you're glad you missed. When the kid is on the road with those bands the next year and hits the Broken Spoke with Asleep At the Wheel by 16, you figure maybe the real real good part was the key... full Rockzilla review
