REAL Country Music

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Vern does for country what Clapton does for rock, what Tower of Power does for horns, and what Aretha does for soul. Play this CD and you'll hear Gosdin completely and absolutely define country music. Like gospel, the unashamed honesty of this music carries an exhilirating emotional freight - play it through twice and you'll be singing along whether you know the words or not - with music like this, you'll be singing from remembered feelings - from the deep, univeral wellspring of being human and being old enough to have truly loved and lost. A true country gem that is worth every penny of the purchase price - every track is great and the title track is among the all time country top ten. If you like George Jones, you'll love Vern."
