Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Matt Dunnam was born in the small west Texas town of Haskell. Music was something he learned at an early age. From his grandparents backyard dances to family jam sessions, music always seemed to be around. He moved to Austin, TX at the age of ten and the city took him by storm. Performed in his first band at age fourteen, and that started a fire no one could put out. Even though rock & blues were a major influence in those days, he continued to drift back towards country. His songs are original, true, heartfelt, and everything he has ever dreamed about poured out on to a piece paper, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

NASHVILLE SUCKS--Texas Remembers a Legend.......2005-06-03

Maybe I'm partial. I can tell you this: my uncle plays for 1100 Springs, so I buy anything that they put out; secondly, their rendition of Waylon's "Omaha" helped me make the choice for college. I know it sounds stupid, but it did. So take this review for what you will, now that I've laid out my bias. Even excluding the 1100 song, every track on these two cds is amazing. The jazzy-bluesy "Wurlitzer Prize" always strikes a certain chord within me. Just as an extra flare, the inclusion of Reckless Kelly on "Good-hearted Woman" adds such a quirk that it mimics the original as Waylon passes the mic to Willie. As Dub Miller introduces his song, he paints a musical image; this image, especially in the music, runs throughout the cd. I cannot reccomend this highly enough.

Heartfelt, home-style tribute.......2004-12-30

By situating their two day benefit in a Texas dancehall, and favoring regional acts known more for their touring than their national fame, the producers neatly conjure Jennings' independent road-tested ethos. Doug Morland kicks off the double-CD on a perfect note, testily re-starting "If I Can Find a Clean Shirt" after flubbing the lyrics. Dub Miller follows with a stunning take of the folk-country "Just to Satisfy You," ripping into the rhythm guitar and prying the song loose of Jennings' original.

Over two full days, thirty bands each played a 15-minute set, each highlighted by a pair of Jennings songs. The results animate both the artists and the crowd, and speak to Jennings' spark on-going legacy in the honkytonks and clubs of country music America. Jennings' bluesy side is heard in Ray Wylie Hubbard's swampy "Waymore's Blues," and Wade Bowen offers a powerful, southern rock flavored take on "You Asked Me To." Lighter moments, such as Eleven Hundred Springs' sweetly melancholic "Omaha," and Django and Jerry Jeff Walker's folksy "Luckenbach, TX" add fine balance to the show.

Like many such anthologies, a few of the tracks follow too closely or innovate so widely as to lose their anchor, but unlike the earlier star-heavy studio tributes, this one's live setting maintains the subject's spirit throughout. Jennings' connection with his audience, both as a singer and a songwriter, is strong here, and though it was a blue day when he passed, his contribution clearly lives on.
