I've been eagerly awaiting more music from Randy Huston since his first CD back in 1991!!
It's a winner...nice production and material! And naturally the good "Dr. Vet" gets into a bit of "controversy" once again!

"Not everyone will agree with my point of view, but they should agree that the right to do so is one of the great things about our country. God bless
Maybe that wasn't the ideal quote to lift from Randy's notes in this CD, because the overall project is not as political in nature as that might suggest, yet it leaves the specificness of his point of view unquestioned.
With nary a cheating song in the corral (unless you include the one about Marvin the BLM bureaucrat), this array of contemporary western music is about family and passion and horses and honor and ... well, the good stuff we perceive in the human condition.
It also has to do with threats to those traditions.
Vernell Hackett brought Chris LeDoux to my attention quite a few years ago, so when she asked me to sit in her car so she could watch her dogs as I listened to three newly-mixed cuts of this album, I went in my bedroom slippers!!
I have come to evaluate music on how it makes me laugh, cry, or think -- this does it all. It took Garth Brooks to get Radio to notice Chris; are they too far gone to get Randy? If so, it's a shame...Bill Littleton
