Red Kilby's new CD is a must for all lovers of the traditional country sounds of the 60's and 70's. Red told me that this project is a labor of love, and with the help of a stellar group of musicians he put together an exciting album bringing back memories of the "Bakersfield Sound" as well as of great artists like Charley Pride. Red' vocals are exceptional, no need to talk about the musicians!

Here are a few excerpts from Lloyd Green's remarks about the album:
"Now he's done it, really done it! Red Kilby had this irrational idea that he could go to Texas and get some of his musical heroes from the past together; steel players, guitar players, and others. Then to make things worse he even imagined he could cut a real, genuine country album just like we used to record in the 1960's. Talk about Paranoia!
Evidently the world is madder than I suspected. He did it. ...
It'll
take you a long time to absorb all of the good steel and other music on the CD,
so get prepared for some of the finest shuffles and country recordings to come
down the road recently."
