Downloaded and listening right now. It's absolutely marvellous so far, everyone has brought their A game to this project. Tjis is a collection of songs I'm going to enjoy repeatedly I'm sure.

Merle - Thanks for doing the hard work and putting this together. You're a true gent. Thanks man.

Really strong work to all on this. A sweet balance of pro quality and lofi, electric acoustic storytelling and pumping anthem. Really some wonderful songs. Totally loving this.

good stuff  guys  .  great   job merle ;-) 

Well done everyone!!!!!!!!!!!  This album is exceptional in every way.  The songwriting and presentation of every song just amazes me!!  You all are a very talented group of musicians and I am proud and honored to have my song included on this album!!  Really nice work on the album itself too, cool graphics, arrangement of songs...flows really well.  Nice project!!!!!!

Heading out on a road trip tomorrow and looking forward to listening to this CD for five hours!

 

 

Wow I really like the direction this took! I'm gonna burn a cd so I can listen to it in the truck on the way to work. I was a little hesitant to join in being kinda new to cigar box guitars and not at all a musician. Now I'm going to try to put together a collection of my originals. Thanks for letting me join in and thanks to c#merle for putting this together.

Well that is a cool record a little bit of everything I thought there would be more instrumental as I was going to do one but this works great. Sounds great Merle thanks, Great review M&J. I have been doing these for a few years now and the playing writing and recording quality is getting better some really good stuff FOLK's.

Another successful venture, well done everyone. Thanks Merle.

Humans just have to make music, they have to. Imagine life without it? Sure we all used our computers to record them but the music itself is largely made with home made instruments. Apart from my 3 string, that a mate made me, I made everything else on my song. I can barely hammer a nail.

In these modern times to take a collection of junk and turn it into music, and share it with other people doing the same, just feels big to me. Like there's hope for us yet.

Thanks, guys. It is an Honor to be included.

This is fun. I have visualized myself as an artist -  but this music stuff is greatly amusing.

By the way ...the eyes are kinda brown and kinda green.

all credit goes to the guys who stepped up and entered an original song, i just collected em. the diversity is great and the recordings were pretty sweet right off the bat - thank you everyone!

cb gitty has his own record label...maybe he should look a little closer at home for his next release. just saying

great job Merle,fantastic perfomances all round

Another winner from CBN songwriters and musicians! superb stuff :-) 

Hey dang I have ten or more original songs how did must of missed that thread .I'll have to download it on my PC latter
