a must own album
This CD has made many road trips with me, and if you could wear out a CD I"ll probably wear out this one, I love it so. One classic after another. It opens with a bang--"We Reserve the Right to Refuse service to You,"--and what blind person, like myself, hasn't heard that a time or three? "Highway Cafe" is an up-tempo take on a sadly common tale of love lost. "Biscuits in the Oven," is the battle cry of old-school men who know it's not like that any more--and wish it still were. "Western Union Wire," "Sold American," and "Nashville Casualty and Life," are slower sad ballads, showing the range Kinky has. "Ballad of Charles Wittman," would have been a natural for Johnny Horton, had he still been alive in 1966 when Wittman did what he did. "Silver Eagle," is an unforgettable song about a forgotten train from the earliest days of railroads. and on and on it goes. This is one of the dozen or so I'd want to take with me if I were about to begin a life sentence in Siberia.
