"OH SUSANNA"

ARTIST: RON WAYNE ATWOOD
ALBUM: OH SUSANNA
PRODUCER: RONNIE RATLIFF
A good ol'-fashioned COUNTRY music album!! What a treat!! I'm always happy to get an album like this one, and I think Ron knows it. He didn't even warn me it was on it's way, it simply arrived in my mailbox one day, with a nice note and GREAT music! Thanks, Ron!

I can't say too much about this CD that I haven't already said about Ron. He's a terrific performer, and pure country! I liked every song I heard, some new, some standards…like "Oh Susanna", for example. Now, I ask you, what could be more "old-fashioned" than that one?! I know, some folks, these days, seem to think "old-fashioned" is BAD. But not me, and certainly NOT the REAL country fans I know. At least, when we hear it, we know the artist comes from good stock, and carries with him, a love for the music that came long before Garth Brooks! (No, I'm not slamming Garth, I like him, too. But let's face it, ever since we saw his handsome face on TV, country music, so to speak, has never been the same..am I right??).

This album is a keeper, and I hope you all will add it to your library of good country music. Add it, and remember it. I have to admit, though, it would be hard to forget. When you're reaching for country music, I KNOW you'll reach for this one. How could you NOT??

Take a listen, and let Ron know how you like it, would you? I'd appreciate that, and I know he would. Then, go ahead and order it. You'll find it at a couple of websites… http://www.cdbaby.com or http://www.nashvillecdstore.hypermart.net You WON'T be sorry. You won't regret this purchase. I'm sounding pretty sure of myself, huh? Yep. I KNOW most of my readers are real country fans, so I KNOW they'll love this album…but then…hey, that's only
