"...an amazing modern West Coast honky tonk cd. One of the best traditional country records of the year for sure!                                       Stevige aanrader/Ctrl. Alt. Country

Not since the duet recordings of Buck Owens and Rose Maddox or Merle Haggard and Bonnie Owens have two voices come together so

 magnificently to showcase California Country.
