Press Reviews I'm not historically a country fan. Can't stand most of the stuff. I guess it's the fact that I can't get past the Bill Ray Cyrus' of the genre to get into the Chet Atkins, Gene Autry, etc. Although, every time I've been guided down the path to one of these greats, I've never been disappointed. Glad to know that I've found another one. "Big Rigs" is everything I ask for in a song, it's played with a truly brilliant touch.(this one makes me blush, sure i got newspaper ones, but this guy thought enough of the music to write it and send it and that makes me very proud and humble at the same time!)
