Ron
Wayne Atwood…he's performed in the casinos of Las Vegas…he's played
guitar with Bill Haley and the Comets…he's definitely paid his dues, playing
various gigs throughout the country and beyond…and now, finally, and after
a lot of hard work and perseverance, he's cut his very first album! And it's
a good one, too! |

Unique
in its style, yet it has a familiar ring to it. This CD has a very soothing
effect to the ear. But it's more than that. It's one of the best DANCE albums
I've ever heard. In fact, Ron has included recommendations for a variety of
dances on the back cover…one or two for each song. And, indeed, the music
throughout is perfect for an evening with your favorite dance partner. |

My
favorite, song on the album, if there IS one, (and I think it's Ron's favorite,
too), is an old one that was once a big hit for Bill Haley, "A Little Piece
at a Time" (S.Hall/N.Merritt). What a beautiful song, and Ron sings it
like someone who's 'been there'. I found myself hitting the repeat button a
couple of times on this one. Another one that got my attention, was "Harold's
Super Service" (Bobby Wayne). It's hysterical, and one you can really boogie
to! And, heyyyy, all of us needs to boogie once in a while, right? C'mon…you
KNOW you love to boogie! Am I wrong? |

If
you like the "cowboy sound" and need an album with good dance
tunes, this one's for you. Check itout
on Ron's website http://ronwayneatwood.com …but don't just stop for a visit.
Go ahead and add this one to your collection. As I always say, you can never
have too many records for dancin'. But you know…that's only MY opinion.
And of course, this is just…
