Actin' Naturally Music Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Great Talent Lost
Johnny was a great talent but not enough people realized it or gave him the credit he deserved. This CD shows him at his best.He and Dolly do a great job on "Making Plans" which is the reason I bought it in the first place. He has another song that is neat ,40 Acres of Hell, its a serious song but also comical. Wish I could find all of his albums

Buck Owens Instrumental Hits CD (1965)

Actin' Naturally CD music

$11.79

Buck gives his voice a rest and gives his band a chance to shine with this set of all-instrumental originals (the jangly "Buckaroo") and country standards ("Orange Blossom Special," "Faded Love"). Sharp, fast and crystalline playing is on the menu, and you'll be going back for seconds, as these cats have mastered a becoming-scarce art of playing: say what you have to say and move on. No noodling/doodling for these guys, no indeed. The guitars twang, the drums snap, the pedal steel swings & swells, the fiddle cuts to the heart, the tempos alternate between leisurely & almost-manic. Recorded in 1963-65 and does not sound dated at all. Country music's answer to the Ventures! Two Thumbs Up! Full Title - The Instrumental Hits Of Buck Owens & His Buckaroos. The retrospective nature of this disc allows listeners to experience the evolution of the potent instrumentalists who accompanied Owens circa 1961-1966. The Sundazed Music CD reissue contains two additional bonus tracks 'Act Naturally (Instrumental Version)' ...

Wylie & The Wild West Ridin' The Hi-Line CD (2000)

Actin' Naturally music CDs

$14.55

The fifth album by Wylie Gustafson and his musical cohorts is again a marvelously honest modern-day stroll through the world of C&W music. The songs are filled with buckaroos, cowboys and wide open spaces; however, while it draws from a rich tradition, this is no mere nostalgia festival. Gustafson writes songs in the C&W tradition, but with his own perspective. The song "Ridin' the Hi-Line" is an example, with its references to northern Montana, railroads and the spiritual redemption to be found by a secluded riverbank. Recording in Nashville, Gustafson utilizes an array of session musicians ...

Johnny Bush Green Snakes CDs (2001)

Actin' Naturally CD music

$12.59

The first 3000 copies of GREEN SNAKES includes a bonus disc of Bush originals recorded in 1962 with Willie Nelson and Tommy Morrell. Johnny Bush has been around Texas forever -- or maybe it just seems that way. Certainly, the man with the massive tenor has been a legend since he started up as a frontman in the '60s, and the renewed popularity of his 1972 song, "Green Snakes," about a man with the DTs has brought him back into the spotlight and pulled a new disc from him. He's re-recorded that classic and offers material both old -- like "Driving Nails (In My Coffin)," which was a hit for Floyd Tillman -- and much newer, like the very funny "Dos Tacos." Bush sticks to the straightforward Texas honky tonk style that's been his trademark throughout his career, even on the gospel tune "Glory Train" (which is followed, ironically, by the adultery ballad "Cheatin' Fire," a wonderful duet with Leona Williams). Particularly interesting are his spoken reminiscences of the late, great Moon Mullican, coming right between Bush's versions two songs associated with Mullican: "You Don't Have to Be a Baby to Cry," given a rocked-out Western swing treatment, and "The Pipeliner Blues," performed in neo- rockabilly fashion to round out the disc. But that's far from being all -- a bonus EP contains nine ...

Emmylou Harris Songs Of The West CD (1994)

Actin' Naturally music CDs

$11.39

For Emmylou Harris, induction into Nashville's Grand Ole Opry was a confirmation of her power and integrity as an artist. Since first making her mark in the mid-'70s, Harris has carved out her own niche, deeply rooted in such rustic forebearers as the Carter Family and Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys. SONGS OF THE WEST is a compilation of her favorite performances, songs that derive their power from the romantic imagery of her youth--the mythology of the American West. For a little girl growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, hearing Eddy Arnold singing "Cattle Call" over the radio was a romantic gateway to faraway lands, open plains and starlit nights. To hear Emmylou and company yodelling away in those high lonesome harmonies at the Opry, followed by the spirited hoedown "Montana ...

Joe Stampley Good Ol' Boy: His Greatest Hits CD (1995)

Actin' Naturally songs

$10.39

Released the same year as Varese's The Best of Joe Stampley, Razor & Tie's Good Ol' Boy: His Greatest Hits compliments the other label's collection. Where Varese's 18-track disc focuses on Stampley's early-'70s recordings for Dot/ABC, this concentrates on his late-'70s/early-'80s work for Epic. The two discs share a mere four tracks -- the Dot singles "If You Touch Me (You've Got to Love Me)," "All These Things," and "Soul Song" and the Epic-era Moe Bandy duet "Just Good Ol' Boys" -- so they have considerably different feels, and ironically enough, the album covers do not offer a clear indication of which era is covered where, since the Varese features a contemporary photo and it's all old material, while Razor & Tie boasts an older photo and new recordings. Phew! The two taken together provide a full picture of Stampley's career as a hitmaker, but as individual collections they can be problematic, since the Varese doesn't have as many big hits but does have better music (and, unfortunately, is now out of print), while the Razor & Tie has the big hits (including four duets with Bandy) but runs out of musical steam about halfway through, as the '70s give way to the '80s and Stampley turns toward slicker, pop-inflected production. That most of the limp singles are in fact "CD bonus tracks" doesn't matter because they slow down the flow of the record and their overly polished, heavily synthesized productions undercut Stampley's vocals, which are still good, along with the memory of the strong ...
