Thomason also says, "This CD is filled with the stuff that demands your attention -- makes you listen. Don't try to operate dangerous machinery or start your taxes while Charlie is singing. You'll just get hurt." Among the humor, there is a bit of truth to this statement. You'll need to set yourself down and take a hard listen to this release. You'll be glad you did.

There are the sole reaching songs like "Blame It on Vern" or "Devil on a Plow." Ballad stories like "The Silver Bugle" are here and a familiar "I've fallen and I Can't Get Up" are here too. Then there's a song about "Alison's Band" referring to Alison Krauss and Union Station. You get some Tom T. Hall material and rightly so as the album was recorded in Tom T. and Dixie Hall's studio in Franklin, TN.

If this were a black vinyl LP of days gone past, the album would be a Slinky by now. It's been played, replayed and played again. We waited for five years for this event. We can wait a few more weeks for the album to hit the streets. It will be worth the wait! This is a well rounded album that will surely get your attention.
