Trouble In Mind.......2002-12-20

An interesting twofer of Les and Mary's music.......2002-09-07

The first album, Warm and wonderful, is mostly made up of covers of classic songs, alternating instrumental tracks with vocal tracks. As much as I enjoy the instrumentals, I prefer the songs where Mary's sweet country voice takes over. One of these, Come back to me, is an orginal song which they co-wrote with each other. Of course, the title Come back to me is not unique - do not confuse the Les and Mary song with any other song of the same title. Mary is also in fine voice on Deed I do, A cottage for sale, It's been a long log time, Am I blue and Wrap your troubles in dreams. The remainig tracks allow Les to show his mastery of the guitar, for which he is legendary.

The second album, Swingin' south, is a country album recorded in Nashville. It features several songs written by Les, but there are covers here too, the most famous being Your cheating heart, a Hank Williams classic. On this album, Mary sings throughout. The album is slightly more energetic than Warm and wonderful, but only slightly. It's not a swinging album desptite it's title.

This is a very relaxing twofer by a couple who made some enjoyable music.
