We're lucky here at the ol' TDP.

I just got the new Rancho Deluxe CD in the mail this past week and it's GREAT! Not only one of the best bands out there, but some of the best country Tele playing you'll ever hear! Fantastic playing. Jesse plays better than Brad Paisley. Yep I said it. Listen to any of the Rancho Deluxe CD's and prove me wrong! Taste & tone!

I included Tjarko in this line up because I've been listening to his stuff lately with Ronnie Dawson and if you haven't heard it - go get it! "Just Rockin' and a Rollin'" is my fav CD with Tjarko. "Tired of Travelin'" will change your life!

and of course there's James Wilsey's new CD. Fanfreakintastic! I've shared this story with Jimmy, but I'll share it with all of you. My first cassette I ever bought was Buddy Holly's Oh Boy. The second tape I ever bought was Chris Isaak's Heart Shaped World with Jimmy. I read the liner notes and when I saw the tiny pic of Jimmy with his Strat I knew he was a okay in my book. Chris Isaak was the voice but Jimmy was/is the sound! El Durado is great and if you're a fan of great music, this CD is for you.

Of course there's Redd Volkaert and all the other amazing players here, but I'm tellin' y'all - we are blessed to have access to all of these and more great musicians.
