5 out of 5 stars Downbeat country should appeal to George Jones fans.......2005-01-26

Like George, Vern sometimes sings more upbeat material (Tight as twin fiddles, on this album, being a prime example), but both singers have a particular way with the kind of very sad songs that dominate this album, especially the title track.

For those who are unfamiliar with it, the title refers to the inscription on a gravestone and the song points out that don't understand loneliness until somebody you love has died. It is the kind of song that you expect to hear George Jones sing, but I doubt if George could improve on Vern's version of this song.

Tight as twin fiddles, the one upbeat track here, is a slice of western swing in the tradition of Bob Wills. Of the other songs, all of which are excellent, my favorites are Do you believe me now and Set em up Joe.

If you enjoy traditional country with absolutely no frills, this is for you. Just be sure to have those tissues ready.

4 out of 5 stars They call Vern "The Voice." Here's why........2001-03-07

"Set 'Em Up Joe" (a honky-tonker about a man wearing out an Ernest Tubb 45 -- remember them?) was the hit, and sounded just right coming out of a jukebox at 1:00 AM. But the prime cut here is "Chiseled In Stone," which to my mind rivals Jones's "He Stopped Loving Her Today" as the most heart-breaking recording of all time. In between there's lots of filler, but Vern Gosdin's filler beats out just about anything you're likely to hear on country radio in these benighted times. Stone country -- snap it up while it's still in print.

4 out of 5 stars Genuine country sound from a master.........2000-08-31

This CD is not quite up to the exceptional beauty of Vern's "Ten Years Of Greatest Hits". However, most of the songs, except for two(Nobody calls from Vegas & Set Em up Joe), are superb. Special mention is due for Mr. Gosdin's renditions of "There Aint Nothing Wrong" and "Chiseled In Stone". The vocal quality and depth of the work is very good. It is truly lamentable that artists such as Mr. Gosdin are not given air time on country stations today. Take it from me folks, if you want the down home country sound, don't pass up this CD. Like myself, you will listen to it numerous times. Thank you Mr. Gosdin !!

5 out of 5 stars They Really Don't Write Songs Like This Anymore.......2000-08-12

Vern Gosdin has one of those voices that can only be described as pure velvet that wraps itself around a lyric until it becomes a gift from his throat to your ears. Yes, it's country from the steel guitar to the wailing fiddles all blended into that Gosdin soul. This album showcases the sounds that have been left behind in a cloud of crossovers; but when traditional country fans come looking for substance, this one fills the bill. I sincerely wish country music could one day return to this type of artist, and make it profitable for him to do what he does best and that is sing a song from the heart and not rely on gimmicks. Listen to this one and enjoy a piece of heaven.

4 out of 5 stars Dreams of Glory is a treat.......2007-04-12

I didn't even know of this band until i
heard them on XM Radio a few months ago,
I don't know why they're not bigger than
they are, it's not for lack of talent.
They remind me of the early version of
the Pretenders, with a dash of Lone Justice
thrown in. Great mix of rockers and ballads.

5 out of 5 stars I have been in Johnny Rock's Cantina........2007-03-21

Johny Rock's Cantina is an amazing song. But is a place too, and the music you can listen to in that place is always pure and simple rock and roll. Find the place starting with this record. You won't be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars The Stone Coyotes know how to rock!.......2007-02-02

I think this is an excellent cd, full of high energy rock and roll, great melodies, and great lyrics. This band is absolutely fantastic. Barbara Keith has a great voice, can really rock out on the electric guitar, and writes really good songs. The bassist and drummer provide a great rhythm, a strong driving force that will make you want to get up and dance, stomp your feet or at least get your feet tapping. Like most good music, it consists not only of really good rock music, but some stuff that leans towards folk and country. It is a bit difficult to accurately describe, but I would definitely recommend this cd to any rock fan. It is an incredibly awesome production.

5 out of 5 stars Doug Stone.....Greatest Hits, Vol. 1.......2006-03-15

I already had some of Doug's music on cassette, and really do like his music. I ordered the CD to play in my mini-van.

3 out of 5 stars Should be named "Some of his Hits".......2004-12-05

When will the record companies do the right thing and make a cd with all the great songs on it? I will gladly pay more for more songs. I just hate having to buy two "greatest Hits" or "Super Hits" to get all the sogs that I want when there are duplicate songs on them. The cd itself is great..all the songs are worth listening to, but again, these are just "some" of his hits.

5 out of 5 stars Combine them!!.......2004-04-07

All of Doug Stone's songs put out were hits! I enjoy both albums, but both "Greatest Hits Vol. 1" and "Super Hits" should just be combined! That would be the ultimate greatest hits album. Theres only 10 songs on each cd, if combined, removing repeated tracks, there would be about 17...they really should!

5 out of 5 stars A Jukebox With A Country Song........2000-06-24

Doug Stone Was One Of The Best Country Music Artists Of The 1990's. His Singnituare Hit "A Jukebox With Country Song" Is One Of His Best Hits Today. People Request The Song Over The Radio. It Is One Of My Favorites. "I'd Be Better Off In A Pine Box" Was His First Hit. Other Hits That Made This Guy A Superstar Are: "I Thought It Was You", "Come In Out Of The Pain", "Too Busy Bein'In Love", "Made For Loving You", "Why Didn't I Think Of That", And "Little Houses". Those Are All Great Songs To Listen To.

5 out of 5 stars Style and fire make this album a must have!.......1998-09-14

If you enjoy a combination of country and light rock this album is for you. This cd brings together a colmunation of Doug Stone's greatest country and rock songs. "I was to busy being in love", written by one of his lead guitarists has topped the light rock charts as has "Why didn't I think of that". The simple words of love stir your heart while the music stirs your feet. You can not help but grab the one you love and start dancing. Additionally, songs like "Little Houses", takes you back to the days when your own family was just starting out, or reminds you of the things you look foward to are you begin your life with the one you love. This album mates creativity with love, and passion with humor giving you just a taste of the flare that Doug Stone has with words and music. A must have for both rock and country fans alike!

No one sings about wedding rings better than Randy Travis. He launched his career with a song about a man staring at the ring "On the Other Hand." On "Day One" from this album, a man stares at the ring his wife left behind, and the bottomless ache of Travis's baritone purr captures the husband's anguish. Real country music is marriage music. It's not about brand-new love; it's about love that's been around the block a few times, and Travis makes you hear the history behind every betrayal, every separation, every reconciliation. Coproducers James Stroud and Byron Gallimore crank up the pop-rock drums and guitars, but in the center of it all is one of the greatest country voices of all time. Not all the material is worthy of that voice, but when Travis sings about a macho husband falling apart or a wife getting ready to leave or a husband inadvertently mentioning the other woman, no one can touch him. Who else under the age of 50 could be as convincing on a song called "The Family Bible and the Farmer's Almanac"? --Geoffrey Himes

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2003-07-05

I have always loved Randy Travis and he proves he's still got it. My favorite song on this album was "No Reason to Change". It has a great tune and message. The song was written by Mentor Williams and I have always been a fan of his songs, he wrote the hit Drift away. This is a great album, you need to get it :)

3 out of 5 stars Amazing voice - Average songs.......2002-10-19

Randy needed a tremendous album to reclaim his popularity as one of country music's best. His voice makes these mostly mediocre songs enjoyable. But Randy's voice wrapped around better songs could go a long way to reviving his singing career. If you haven't already, check out Inspirational Journey. It's a Christian album that even the secular can enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Randy does it again!.......2001-08-23

I have every one of Randy's cds up to date and i rate this one up at the top. I love the way his voice comes out strong in the main song "A man ain't made of stone" This one and his insperational Journey are 2 of my favorites! Buy this one you won't be sorry!!

4 out of 5 stars Still No. 1 in my Book -- It's the Voice!.......2000-09-16

Okay, so he's done better. But you have to admit, it's impossible for this artist to make a bad album. Simply, the finest male vocalist in country today.

5 out of 5 stars Takes me to another world.......2000-03-03

Someone said of this album that "this is the kind of singing Grammies were made for." I can't think of a better way to describe it.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Rock AND Roll!.......2006-10-29

Barbara Keith had an eponymous vinyl LP in 1972 that I tracked down and purchased on CD (well worth the effort) learning in that search about her subsequent band, 'The Stone Coyotes'. All (so far) seven Coyotes' albums are terrific, with, in my opinion, "fire it up" and "Situation Out of Control" being the stand-outs. "Barbara Keith" was folk with considered lyrics. Barbara Keith brings every bit of that intelligent poetic sensibility to hard-core rock and roll with 'The Stone Coyotes'.

5 out of 5 stars The Stone Coyotes Continue to Amaze.......2005-04-20

I do not look forward to new albums put out by artist that I admire. Throughout my life I have been disappointed. Surprise! Surprise ! The Stone Coyotes dashed that theory and simply amazed me with their gut wrenching rock and roll and outstanding lyrics.From "All Dressed Up" to "Wakeup" the songs are all great. "Rectified" with its tale of murder sent chills down my back with its driving beat and tale of revenge. "Stars in Her Eyes" is one of the best songs of childhood dreams I've ever heard. Barbara Keith's phrasing is outstanding. The Ghost of Vicksburg settles the middle section of tracks with a great sentimental ballad of the Civil War. Next crank up the volume on The Girls of America. Major Powers chords about Girls who wantto rock. My daughter is now an avid Coyote Fan. This album is great.

Album Description

Mile Markers is just what the name says: a set of signs posted to guide the way home. . . or maybe point out the direction that has home in the rear view mirror.

Set in the West, it rambles and wanders and aims the steering wheel out at the endless horizon. A halfways unfolded road map, it passes through Austin and Tucson and San Ysidro and Los Angeles, through the badlands of both South Dakota and New Mexico, from Oklahoma and the windy Panhandle country around Abilene all the way to Bakersfield and the San Joaquin Valley.

But Mile Markers is a spiritual voyage as much as a mere travelogue, a set of tales that turns into a single song of journeying forth.

It's like a Western, in a way. It's "The Searchers," or "Ride the High Country," or" High Plains Drifter." Or even"Two-Lane Blacktop" or "The Getaway," because it's set in a contemporary West divided by white lines and asphalt, and settled by truckstops and parking lots. It's a landscape of big skies and long roads and endless Mile Markers flying by at the edge of your vision. And like every true Western ever, contemporary or not, it's a story of drifting and settling, of setting down roots and then having them torn up again, of learning that you don't dare settle down when you're just going to be forced to hit the road again.

For Mark Stuart and the Bastard Sons, the last ten years has been a blur of miles and markers. BSOJC has played more shows most years than most bands do in their entire careers, and they've done it the hard way, piling their own gear into their own van, and then heading off into a dark night that's just a couple of hours away from day. A lot of indie bands have done a lot of this, but not many have made the long haul across an entire decade. And amidst that grueling schedule, Stewart has managed to keep writing, delivering two previous records, Walk Alone and Distance Between, that built a hardcore fanbase for the band and yet achieved a critical recognition that most singer-songwriters would slit their left wrist to gain. It was an enviable position, as long as you didn't have to do all the work that went with it.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars REAL Country Music for a Change.......2006-03-19

Listening to the Bastard Sons' music makes you want to grab a ice-cold longneck and Belly up to the nearest bar. Mile Markers is some of the band's best stuff and in my opinion "Road to Bakersfield" may be one of their best ever which is saying alot. If you're tired of the cookie-cutter type music played on "country" stations, give The Bastards a listen! I'll see ya at the bar.

"The Honky-tonks have all gone away but Buck and Merle are here to stay, on the Road to Bakersfield".

5 out of 5 stars San Diego Tribune and Des Mones City View reviews.......2005-10-03

"Mature tales of life on the road and lost love as seen by Mark Stuart and the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash through the windshield of a van carrying them through thousands of miles of desert highways abound on the alt-country outfit's third and finest album, "Mile Markers." The album's lead track, "Austin Nights," sets the pace for much of "Mile Markers" with a mesmerizing groove, touches of sweeping Spanish and steel guitars, an unforgettable melody and deft lyrics of wanderlust delivered by Stuart's trademark warm timbre. "King of the World" is a clever observation of the trials of maintaining a relationship while living on the road and "California Sky" is a touching tribute to the band's home state. These songs, and others, are as cool and arid as a moonlight drive through the desert and they resonate with hope as they travel through the great unknown."

Michael Swanger --
Des Moines City View

"Unwinding like a country road movie, "Mile Markers" offers twangy slices of Southwestern life. San Diego's favorite Bastard Sons take "The Road to Bakersfield" after spending an "Austin Night" with the character-conscious Texas singer-songwriters (Townes the drifter would've been proud). The Telecaster and steel-guitar sound is potent, but it's Mark Stuart's lived-in vocals that stand out, notably on the closing-time ballad "Are You Lonely Tonight?""

5 out of 5 stars I SMELL GASOLINE!!!.......2005-09-23

So are you tired, like me, of the overly produced, slick as a linoleum slate of endless pseudo country music dribble? Do you have a hard time telling one band or singer from another. Drones of clones... it just goes on and on. I threw out my radio a long time ago, my friends. They won't play these Bastards! And that is the shame of the state of the country music business today. Luckily, the "ALT - COUNTRY" music scene is saving the day, and these guys are at the top of my list for grit, power, emotion and steam. They are the musical equivalent of an 18 wheeled highway locomotive, the kind that leaves your windshield smoke stained with gasoline fumes as you follow them down that lost desert highway. You've got Johnny Cash playing at full volume. You could pass on by, but no, you're hooked on the diesel fumes, so you ride in their wake, cause they know where they're going and you want to get there too.
I love these guys. I've been following them since the late 90s, almost from the start, hitting every show they've done here in Phoenix. After the shows, I would talk to Mark Stuart and the band, listening to all their war stories about the road, the honky tonks, and the near collisions with both drivers and fame. Like the time they recorded in Johnny Cash's famed cabin, and the feeling he left behind there. They have his blessings and they'll need it, because you ain't gonna find a country DJ with the balls to say "Bastard Sons" on the air.
I truly didn't think they could top the eerie, mystical sounds of their last album, Distance Between (a masterpiece in sonic layers of emotion), but they did it here, with Mile Markers. All the tales I heard them tell of their woes on the road are celebrated in this masterful song cycle of true Americana. It's Route 66 in your ears! You can just smell the burning rubber and gasoline. Each song is like a much needed rest stop along the endless freeway, when you step out onto the pavement of a brightly lit truckstop and feel the breeze of our great nation blowing through your hair. My favorite is UNDER YOUR SPELL. You know what I'm talking about guys, that sultry waitress at the Diner, where you can't stand the food, but you keep coming back for another whiff of her seductive perfume.
KING OF THE WORLD and RADIO GIRL are gems that we should be hearing on the radio, politically incorrect band name or not. I want to hear this stuff blairing out somebody's car radio for a change, instead of that damned rap crap! YEAH!!! I want to hear it playing on the Juke Boxes clean across this here country. This is music that defines our country's heritage!
Mark Stuart is a prolific songwriter, with nearly as many unreleased songs in the vault as Neil Young himself. As a matter of fact him and old Neil are the only two guys left who can really write a good song any more.
So what's fifteen bucks for a trip down route 66, at today's gas prices, it's a bargain!!
Now go to your windows, stick your heads out and shout
"I SMELL GASOLINE!!!!!!!"

4 out of 5 stars Different Perspective.......2006-07-13

Vitamin records has been releasing these cd's like wild fires, just spreading orchestral music to the lesser audience of it. This cd will give you the rock music that originally started this who phenomenon (apocalyptica).

This cd is great for anyone interested in hearing the depth of a music genre. Typically when you hear a rock song, you dont hear really how the singer is supposed to influence the musical sense of the songs, but when the singer's role is put into a more balanced/equal role with the rest of the musicians, it contributes so much more to the musicality of the song. It is great for beginner musicians to understand that the singer has to be in tune with the band because he is added depth to the music, not just vocals. College music majors might also get a kick out of this album as it widens your music perspective.

These cds from vitamin really show how rock is the next evolution to classical music, it shows that although lyrics were originally added, the artists used the basic form of classical music to write songs. They all contain a theme that is repeated in the music, and most offer a "waltz" part to the song, as well as a lyrical bridge.

Good cd for every so often to change you from the norm. really neat to switch out the lyrics every so often with some classical music. Enjoy it!

3 out of 5 stars Not Much To Warrant Repeated Listenings.......2005-01-30

Over the past five years, Vitamin Records has released more than fifty of these String Quartet Tribute albums. They have run the gamut from Metallica to Clay Aiken to Alison Krauss to their most recent tribute to 2Pac. This sampler focuses primarily on alternative/heavy metal/grunge artists. So what you get is a collection of songs made famous by Staind ("It's Been Awhile"), Linkin Park ("In the End") and Korn ("Freak on a Leash").

This album (and all of the others) veers awfully close to novelty status. On first listen, it's a real charge to hear teen angst anthems like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" transformed into sedate chamber music. But it doesn't really warrant repeated listenings. The main problem is that after a few songs, they all tend to sound alike. Twenty years ago, the Grammy-winning Kronos Quartet would include a Jimi Hendrix composition in live performances and the occasional recording, but they had the sense to know that this wouldn't work over the course of an entire album.

And the idea of juxtaposing classical instruments with popular music goes back even farther. In the sixties, the Hollyridge Strings released a series of albums performing the works of the Beatles, Elvis and the Beach Boys. Bottom line? This album will force you to hear these songs in a new way and might get a laugh or two if you slip it into the CD player at your next party, but there's little here to make you come back after you've heard it once. But at $6.98, it's an inexpensive gag gift for the alternative music fan in your life. [Running Time - 50:37]

5 out of 5 stars Tanya's early classics.......2002-07-05

With two important bonus tracks (Delta Dawn and Love's the Answer, both from Tanya's debut album) added to Tanya's second and third Columbia albums, this is a far stronger collection than any Greatest hits album from Sony/Columbia. The only significant omission is Jamestown Ferry.

Against that, there are many excellent album tracks, including Tanya's covers of Teddy Bear song, Pass me by, Let me be there, Bed of roses and Why me lord - but this collection is particularly interesting for all the original songs included, many of them thought-provoking, none more so than the opening What's your mama's name?, which asks a child about an unknown father.

Although it's many years since I heard the original albums (I used to have all her Columbia vinyl LP's), Collectables chose wisely in compiling this CD. Tanya's debut was wonderful, but the two LP's that followed it were even better.

This is classic traditional country music. Tanya's voice (a sort of country Tina Turner, if you see what I mean) may not appeal to everybody, but if you like the voice and you like traditional country, this will you suit you ideally.

4 out of 5 stars Early Tanya At Her Best.......2000-07-08

A prior review states all these songs were on earlier albums. This is incorrect. These are two original albums..the second and third of her career. Both contain some of the earliest hits that established her as a force in Country Music. What's Your Mama's Name became her first #1 single. Blood Red and Goin' Down is a classic, Would You Lay With Me also a classic. These were recorded at ages 14 and 15 and both CD's showcase the voice that was once called "An American Dream." For me, the real reason to buy this double cd is that between the two there are nine songs that do NOT appear on any other Tanya CD. They, until now, could only be heard if you had the original vinyl albums. Four of the songs alone are worth the price. Those being.. California Cotton Fields, Old Dan Tucker's Daughter, What If We Were Running Out Of Love and my personal favorite.. The Baptism Of Jesse Taylor. This is early seventies country at its best.

5 out of 5 stars Tanya Tucker:What's Your Mama's Name/Would You Lay With Me.........2000-06-18

I think this is a great album for anyone who likes TANYA TUCKER. It has songs from her early years that you wouldn't have heard on the radio. All the songs were on eariler albums. They are great songs that shows the range she has in her voice....This is a must for the Tanya fan. ENJOY.

5 out of 5 stars Telecaster Master........2004-06-03

Danny Gatton was a truly exceptional musician--one of the world's greatest guitar players--period. When he passed on 10 years ago, people who play guitar--and people who just appreciate guitar music--mourned deeply--they still do.

"Portraits" is yet another reminder of what music lovers have lost, because it is a remarkable CD. From his opening R & B take on the classic "Rambunctious" to the three, live closing cuts, including a blistering "Orange Blossom Medley", Danny demonstrates his incredible versatility with blues, jazz and rock n' roll. Another highlight on this CD is "Lotta Lovin' ", Danny's tribute to those exciting rock n' roll pioneers, Gene Vincent and his Bluecaps--on this cut, Danny shows that he can play rockabilly guitar with the best of them--really outstanding !

If you are already a Gatton fan, and don't have this disc, push the "buy immediately" button ! If you like superb guitar playing and--somehow--are not familiar with the "Master of the Telecaster", you are not just in for a treat--get ready for a revelation ! Musicianship of the highest order !

5 out of 5 stars Portrait of a Genius.......2000-09-23

Without a doubt, Danny Gatton was a musical genius: not only did he have flawless technique, but he had vast musical knowledge, a keen melodic sense, exquisite taste, fantastic rhythmic drive, and the rare ability to know when not to play. The CD is 5 stars from first to last, but my personal favorites are "Pretty Blue", a cooler, more elegant blues you'll never hear, and the live versions of "Linus and Lucy" which segues into "Orange Blossom Medley", which contains non-stop 9 minutes of the best guitar playing you will ever hear. Starting with a fast country 2-beat, Danny plays C&W guitar like only he could, then the band eases into a easy 4-beat shuffle, and Danny starts playing the best blues guitar this side of the Appalachians, or any mountain range for that matter, the band keeping up with him beautifully, and it all ends humorously. BUY THIS AND ENJOY !!!

5 out of 5 stars another fantastic cd from the master.......1999-09-25

It's truly a shame this great guitarist didn't have a larger audience,he should have been a household name. every cd of Danny is a 5 star.Portraits is great!

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Perfect.......2006-07-11

This CD is all of Doug's classics from the 1990's. I played this over and over. Doug sings with such passion and emotion, it is hard not to get swept away in it. I have not heard the song "Come In Out Of The Pain" in at least 10 years! This has to be my favorite on the CD. Very few singers put so much into a performance these days, but Doug gave his all to each song on this CD.

5 out of 5 stars One of his best CDs.......2006-06-27

I bought Doug Stone's Super Hits because I was told, that this CD should be good. But I must say it is not only good, it is simply great! That is real good country music!

5 out of 5 stars flawless.......2005-12-06

This album is perfect. I have had it for about a year and I listen to it all the time. Doug Stone really knows how to choose a well written song that illustrates emotions well! I like "I'd Be Better Off In a Pine Box" because it shows the heartache that a man feels when he envisions his old flame with her new man. Another favorite is "I Never Knew Love" which has some amazing lyrics, beginning: "I never knew the power of a song, 'til I heard the music playing the day mama passed on..." this song is very moving. Every song is powerful and Doug has one of the best male voices I have ever heard. This album is flawless just like the others by Doug Stone.

5 out of 5 stars absolutely amazing.......2001-08-21

I saw Doug this summer at the Barnstable county fair and he was just as great as ever, his music is so sweet, I am waiting for his new CD, all his songs are like lovely memories to me, each one can bring up a memory of love and hurt and frisky enjoyment. He is the best, I hope he keeps making that sweet music forever. I had this tape but it was lost on my vacation to Nashville, I'm buying it again.
