Track by Track Review
Country (Instrumental)
Lap steel country, a fine melody and tight performance. Open road long haul whine and dine. very nice.
Country (Instrumental)
A competent recording of "Sleep Walk" without the lap steel. very pretty and warm, and very well played. It's strange to hear the laps steel carrying backup duty on this track.
Country (Instrumental)
A kinda big guitar dramatic country tune here, with a fine riff and delicate and artful playing. Very pretty and melodic, with surfy whammy.
Country (Instrumental)
With a melody a little like "Cottonfields," this sports a sad country sound and gentle afternoon feel. Very pretty.
Country (Instrumental)
A typical cowboy beat and an infectious melody played very well and nicely mixed. This has some of the feel of surf about it despite its obvious country roots. Quite nice.
MOR Country (Instrumental)
Very slow country MOR, sporting a pretty melody and a fluffy backtrack, and some nicely vibratoed rhythm guitar.
Country (Instrumental)
Billy Hill's classic playful track is delivered with spark and flair. Very clean, and quite enjoyable. Pure country, but with great spunk and cool drums.
Country (Instrumental)
Long haul space cowboy music for the open highway. Big lap steel twang and whine, and lots of playful flair.
Country (Instrumental)
Soft slow country waltzorama, romantic and melodic, and sweet.
Country (Instrumental)
Yes, really, and set to lap steel, with a sense of the surf and the afternoon sweetness of orange blossoms. Quite beautiful.
