CD Reviews
A Superb Debut CD
fred baughman | chula vista, CA USA | 09/16/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Today I received a superb debut cd by Miss Leslie & the Juke-Jointers. In these days of bad 70's rock passing as Real Country Music it is refreshing to hear a young Country Singer who sings Country the way God, Hank Williams Sr, Lefty Frizzell and Patsy Cline intended it to be sung. Miss Leslie is backed by an outstanding band that plays Honky Tonk with an authenic hardwood sound not often heard today. She does a great job on the George Jones Classic "Talk to Me Lonesome Heart". Other superb tracks include "Honky Tonk No More, "Heavy On The Lonesome", "Honky Tonk Gal", and I'll Be Gone Tonight". The only complaint I have about this cd is it only had 13 tracks instead of thirty!"
Honky Tonk is Alive and Well

"This is one of the stongest REAL Country Cds that I have heard in a long time. The sound and feel of Patsy Cline and other classic country greats are on every tune. I can't wait for the next record."
Great Honky Tonk

"This Honky Tonk at it's finest. Country music needs more artists like Miss Leslie and fewer of the pop wannabees parading around as country musicians."
The best honky tonk CD
James L. Bumbalo | 11/07/2006

"MIss Leslie and Her Juke-Jointers have put out the best honky tonk CD any fan of real country music could want. Full of honky tonk piano, fiddles, steel, and great lyrics, this CD is absolutely amazing. Forget the trash Nashville puts out that it calls country. This is the real thing: good old-fashioned, stone-cold, 100%, hard-core country."
