"True aficionados of Western Swing have been experiencing a real dry spell recently and the Lucky Stars' new CD is just the long tall drink of water we have been looking for. Billing themselves "Hollywood's full-bore, rompin', stompin, honky-tonk outfit," they have wowwed their faithful fans across Southern California. This debut offering brings their inspired stripe of country swing to the rest of the world. Their sound reminds us that California was once home to the pioneers of western swing--a time when Spade Cooley, Bob Wills and Tex Williams were the region's honky tonk heroes. So give this disc a listen; we are sure to hear more from this talented crew."

Just Great

"As a big Bob Wills fan I was doubtful that this CD could live up to my expectations. Well, they did. Amazingly true to form and with two great vocalists (I hate it when you get a cd and you like one vocalist and not the other). Not a bad song on the disc, I really like "Sugar Mama" and "Everybody's Fool". Now I just wish I had it on vinyl so it would have some nice hisses and pops."

A Charming Bunch of Fellows

"This first CD from The Lucky Stars captures the full feeling of their incredible live shows, sans beer and fan club. This writer has been faithfully following the career of lead singer/songwriter Sage Guyton for fifteen years now. The versatile artist has captured the hearts of many as he traversed the stormy waters of many a medium and genre in search of his perfect niche. Finally, it seems, he has found it, and one need only watch his fanatical fan club in full honky-tonk dress swooning to his lyrical voice and the musical meanderings of his crew to know that these loveable fellows will soon be touring worldwide. Won't you be proud to say you knew of them first?"
