Billy Grammer At His Best.

"Billy Grammer is a legend in every since of the word, he is not only a good singer but a guitar master, when you think of Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Doc Watson, & Merle Travis Billy Grammer's name is right in that list. This CD features his vocal abilities, i just wish they could of included some of his great insturmental work. I have an old Gospel LP that he put out in 1962, its all insturmentals but when your a guitar wizard why not let the guitar do the singing for you? :) Billy Grammer joined the grand ole opry in 1959, his recording of Gotta Travel On is credited as being the song that brought him to the opry where he continues to perform to this day, i heard him singing a new song on there in August of 2004, he also happend to mention that night that he and his wife were celebrating there 60th Wedding Anniversary, Congratulations Billy!"

Bonaparte's Retreat NOT the ORIGINAL

"I sent away for this album extremely excited about owning "Bonaparte's Retreat." I found......just like on the "MONUMENT STORY" that they have used an alternate take. It's like drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa. I want the original version please. The same take as the hit 45. Interesting that his other hits on this album are the originals."

"I FOUND THIS ALBUM A VERY GOOD MUSICAL EXPERIANCE. THE GUITAR WORK WAS EXCELLANT. THE VOCAL CLARITY WAS SHARP AND FREE OF NASAL TWANG. I WISH THAT ALL MUSIC WAS AS CLEAR TO UNDERSTAND AS THIS. THE MUSIC IS OF A TIME PAST , BUT IS STILL CURRENT IN MOST OF THE TITLES."
