One of the group's best albums, filled with western swing standards ("Bubbles In My Beer," "Drivin' Nails In My Coffin"), honky tonk ("Lawdy, What A Gal"), and originals by
Thompson. The
Brazos Valley Boys also contribute four instrumentals, including numbers associated with
Bob Wills ("Beaumont Rag"),
Artie Shaw ("Summit Ridge Drive"), and
Woody Herman ("Woodchopper's Ball"). ~ Bruce Eder
