"Attracted by the theme, I ordered this CD without having heard it at all, and it has turned out to be one of my favorites! This is the story of Hazel Hunt and her Hazelnuts, a day in the life of a homegrown all-gals radio station in 1927 Arkansas. There is a lot of great songwriting on this album, well-rendered by find song-singing and playing. Tender love songs, winsome ballads, foot-stompin' hand-clappin' homefried numbers, and even a couple of song-stories fill out the bill of 22 songs, with not a single bad apple in the barrel. "Radio Gals" is a musical playing here and there around the country; see it if you have a chance, and by all means give this CD a listen! (The musical is written by Mike Craver of "Wagoner's Lad" fame and the late Mark Hardwick, who was a co-creator of "Pump Boys and Dinettes" and other musicals.)"

I sure enjoyed THIS program
