(5 out of 5 stars)
"JIMMY STURR HAS A WINNER WITH THIS RECORDING. 15 SONGS RECORDED LIVE AT THE PLACE MADE FAMOUS IN THE 1979 MOVIE "URBAN COWBOY", "GILLEY'S" IN PASADENA, TEXAS. THE CLUB WAS OWNED BY THE GREAT MICKEY GILLEY. THIS RECORDING WAS THE LAST ONE MADE AT THIS FAMOUS SPOT BEFORE IT BURNNED TO THE GROUND IN THE 1980'S. JOHNNY KARAS IS THE FEATURED VOCALIST WHOSE RENDITIONS OF SUCH SONGS AS THE WILLIE NELSON HIT "WHY DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE?" MAKE FOR VERY PLEASUREABLE LISTENING INDEED. THE BANDS VERSION OF "STRING OF PEARLS", AN OLD HIT FROM GLENN MILLER'S BAND IS EXCEPTIONAL! "FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN" WILL GET YOUR HEART PUMPING WITH IT'S UPBEAT TEMPO AND INSTRUMENTATION. A GOOD BUY AND ADDITION TO ANY POLKA FANS COLLECTION OR ANY LOVER OF GOOD MUSIC WOULD ENJOY THIS RECORDING."
