Just got this CD, Dwight Sings Buck. I like the CD. The steel player did a good job. On the faster songs I really liked the bass. OH--- how I wish I could have a bass player like that! As I listened, I wished I had been there at the recording session with the volume and trebble cranked up on my little single neck Emmons. Of course I loved Buck Owens, Ralph Mooney, and Tom Brumley. I had the pleasure of working with Bob Morris, the guy who wrote Buckaroo.
If you like variety, this CD is different than Nashville. The CD is a keeper.  |

I listened to the CD again tonight, and it will grow on you. If you are expecting to hear the old Buckaroo Band with Ralph Mooney, or Tom Brumley, you may not get what you are expecting. Dwight and the boys have put a new twist on Buck's old songs. The more I listen to the CD, the more I appreciate their arrangements. The bass player is an absolute KILLER. The best bass playing I have heard in years. Why do I have to suffer with terrible drummers and awful bass players? Anyway--------
Joshua Grange is put between a rock and hard place, having to live up to legends Ralph Mooney and Tom Brumley. I personally think Joshua pulled it off. At first you expect to hear a perfect version of Mooney or Brumley, but you don't get that. As you keep listening, what Joshua played grows on you. I personally liked everything on the CD, steel playing and all. I would buy this CD just to listen to the bass player, he is that good. |

| I agree Keith. I think that Joshua did a magnificent job at interpeting and recreating the sounds of those original songs. The arrangements don't all meet with my approval but I like them because they are Dwight's tribute. And yes, they do grow on you. Very well produced. |
