Description / My Opinion
Amazon.com - Ordered 04/08/99 - Shipped 04/14/99 - Received 04/24/99

The booklet only contains two pages, with a synopsis and an interesting text from Alfred Uhry. This is a very funny recording. The music style is very different from anything I've heard yet, and even if it's not quite true, it's the way the story is told that is wonderful. I can nearly smell the fire burning and the beans cooking on it. The story also is very nice, and most of the songs are very entertaining. I also have to give a special mention to Nothin' Up which has made me shiver more than once. Vocal performances are hard to judge heard the overall quality of the recording and the singing style (very nosy). I'll just say that everything is well performed, without any emphasis. This is just another different recording that I'm so happy to have in my collection.
