Album Description Full title, 'Anthology 1969-91 Come On Down To Texas For A While'. Texan troubadour Steven Fromholz has carved out a highly regarded career of 35 years standing, from the 'pure western folk music' of his groundbreaking & enduring 1969 debut with Frummox, From Here to There, to country-folk albums on his own Felicity label. In between he's played with Willie Nelson, Stephen Stills, Doug Dillard, Buddy Emmons, Reggie Young etc. Raven's comprehensive 22-track, 75-minute Anthology 1969-1991 draws together for the first time his best known songs, from the famed 'Texas Trilogy' to 'Come On Down To Texas' & the Willie Nelson-sung US country hit single 'I'd Have to be Crazy' (added as a bonus track). Replete with 16-page color booklet boasting detailed liner notes. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsIf Your Main Interest is Texas Trilogy... Mark K. Mcdonough | Reston, VA USA | 05/22/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "This is a nice collection of Fromholz's work, but the sound quality is barely ok. If you are primarily interested in "Texas Trilogy," which has become something of a legend, I would recommend going for the book "Texas Trilogy : Life in a Small Texas Town" by Craig Hillis and photographer Bruce Jordan, which is a fine book in its own right and includes a CD of the song digitally re-mastered from the original tapes. And yup, I own both, and the version that comes with the book sounds much better." Disappointment Timothy Jesser | Austin, TX United States | 09/24/2003 (2 out of 5 stars) "I don't know enough about this album's genre to be as insightful as some of the other reviews, so I will just lay it on the line: I was really disappointed by these songs. I thought they sounded quite dated, almost cheesey and kitschy. I bought the album because it was compared to that of Willis Alan Ramsey whose cd I have darn near worn out from overplay. It was also compared to Guy Clark who I really enjoy. But I find their songs' lyrics have made the journey over the past 30 years intact. Fromholz's by comparison seem gimmicky. Songs such as "Everybody's Goin' on the Road" and "Sweet Janey" are more silly than insightful. One positive thing I can say about the album is that you get to trace some of the influences of modern acts such as Lyle Lovett through the song "Bears."" A Damn Shame... spf80 | Austin, TX United States | 11/19/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "...that I had to order a CD all the way from Australia in order to get a great collection of Steve Fromholz music. The man was born and raised not 20 minutes from the house I grew up in and now I live in Austin TX. There are CDs available a little closer to home, but this is a great collection of one of the best singer/songwriters ever to come from TX, and definitely the best to ever reside in Bosque County. Texas Trilogy is the best song ever written about TX."
