"It Came from Nashville" was a groundbreaking album.

I miss R.S. Field's songwriting from somewhere beneath Ruby Falls.

Webb Wilder is possibly one of the truest representatives of pure American music in our world today. If you've ever seen him live, you'll agree.

Webb is the man! Bob Williams can flat out play guitar. Looks like Jimmy is missing on the drums. Tom is holding the bass beat. Nice. Thanks for the post!
