Randy,

That is some great stuff! Many thanks for this music, I'll certainly be getting my copy!

Merry Christmas!

Steve Hinson · Post by **Steve Hinson** » 24 Dec 2012 3:31 pm

Great!Anybody complaining about no new records with steel on'em ought to line up to get a copy of this CD...

Rick Campbell · Post by **Rick Campbell** » 24 Dec 2012 3:48 pm

Just ordered my copy. I think the is the second CD I bought in 2012. Not counting a great bluegrass CD that Leona Williams gave me. The other one was Justin.

Thanks to Amber, Randy, Justin, Tracy, etc... for recognizing REAL country music, and believing in REAL country music, and choosing players that know how to play REAL country music.

Many miles separate us, but when I listen to these guys play and sing, I feel like I'm there with them.... oh how I wish I could be.

I could be wrong (It's happened once or twice)but I think 12. If It Ain't Love (Let's Leave It Alone) sounds more like Lloyd Green and 13. You Put Me Here might be Dicky Overbey?

Tommy White · Post by **Tommy White** » 24 Dec 2012 8:45 pm

I had the great pleasure to hear the selections Lloyd played on at Lloyd's house yesterday. Never heard anything like it, even when there was country music. The entire production kept me on the edge of my seat. Amber's singing is incredible in every way. Then there's Lloyd. No doubt the most fresh, up to date and unmatched playing I've ever heard on a country recording. Lloyd's tone on the very first note he played was so good I laughed out loud. In fact every time Lloyd had a part to play I laughed or teared up. It's that good.

sorry Peter...but you are wrong...but it's ok...i've been wrong before...only once, however...well...ok...maybe more than once...

i was present when both dicky and lloyd cut...dicky was on connie's cut of "if ain't love", back in the day, so obviously amber and i wanted him on our cut...and yessir...that is lloyd on "you put me here"...

so honored to have both Lloyd and dicky...AND Jim Loessberg...all playing on this project...

WOW!!!...that's SO AWESOME, Tommy!...thanks SO much for sharing...Lloyd is the MAN!!!...and one of the kindest...gentle souls I've ever encountered!!!...

All I can say is WOOOOOOW! This is a must have CD for me. It is so good to see and hear that there are folks around who know how to produce and record real country music today and still have the heart to do it.

Thanks Justin, Amber, Randy and all the gang...and of course thanks to the gentlemen behind the steel.

Kind Regards, Walter

As I said in another post Brilliant, REAL COUNTRY,everyone on this recording rank amongst my favourite artists.Superb playing and singing and production.Have only ever heard Lloyd play live once many years ago here in Scotland,absolutely superb, what a nice guy to talk to.Have never had the pleasure of hearing Dicky play live, hope he might put in an appearance at the Dallas show(Mr Overbey if you read this I am sure there are hundreds of us attending Dallas that would love this).Well done Amber fantastic as usual.

Bieber???

just kidding, I saw Justin with Dicky Overbey at the Rockport Oysterfest a couple years back, they were great.
This music sounds really nice, I might have to pony up.

Peter Freiberger · Post by **Peter Freiberger** » 25 Dec 2012 9:56 am

Apologies for my error (first time since 1958, I think, although I may be wrong). In any case a lot of remarkable playing by remarkable players!

Steve Matlock · Post by **Steve Matlock** » 25 Dec 2012 12:17 pm

That's some great stuff for sure! Love it!

Ivan Posa · Post by **Ivan Posa** » 25 Dec 2012 1:31 pm

I have listened to all the sample clips posted here and all the songs and the steelwork is great, but I agree with Tommy that Lloyds playing is just fantastic. Great imagination, execution and tone.

Daniel Policarpo · Post by **Daniel Policarpo** » 28 Dec 2012 2:32 pm

Mannn, that jaw's harp guitar at the beginning of "if it ain't love" just cracked me up like nothing has in a long time. Man, good stuff!

Green and Overbey,what can I say that hasn't already been said around here? But for me, Loessberg is a revelation. Just fantastic! Is he touring with the band? Is this coming out on vinyl? 20 more questions!

This record sounds like the planets have finally aligned over a twenty table sawdusted spring-board floor and smiled.

Randy Lindley · Post by **Randy Lindley** » 28 Dec 2012 3:12 pm

Thanks for all the kind words, Daniel...

Currently, Dave Biller is our full time steel player and doing one hell of a job for us...however Jim does play with us (among others) from time to time...and it's a blast every time I play with him...

And YES!...we will be releasing this on vinyl...

Daniel Policarpo · Post by **Daniel Policarpo** » 28 Dec 2012 6:33 pm

Dave Biller...great, another player to hear! That is fantastic that you're releasing vinyl. Thanks for all the great music, Randy.

Thanks for letting us hear this project, every time I listen to stuff like this, I think I've died and gone to heaven. Lloyd is my all time favorite player, he always has a new twist and plays it sooooo smooth. Jim is one of my bestest friends and I had to say wow, where did he get this from. The whole project is top drawer. Jim are you going to bring some of these to the Phoenix show, I want one!!! Please.

Wow great stuff.
I will be ordering me a copy of this for sure

Scott Denniston · Post by **Scott Denniston** » 29 Dec 2012 5:01 pm

Yep that's a keeper! Got my order in. Heh, once about twenty years ago in Joplin I got so excited watching Dicky play that I spilled my beer all over his girlfriend. oops.

Roger Dillingham · Post by **Roger Dillingham** » 30 Dec 2012 6:37 am

All I can say is, it's too bad Nashville doesn't have something like this in the works.....well they have chosen another path, I guess. Bubble gum country seems to work for them and apparently they think that's all people want to hear these days. In many cases, their cuts don't even have a hint of a pedal steel guitar!! Thank God that Amber and friends still have the desire to crank out an EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY cd for the rest of us that still remember what good country-western music was/and is about! I'd get nauseated if I had to listen to very much of what Nashville seems to think is "Country Music" these days. From the sample of these cuts from Amber's new CD, every steel guitar player and "died in the wool" country fan should have this on their to-do list for 2013! I'm so excited, I've already ordered mine!! Many thanks Amber and Randy, keep on crankin' them out! Wonderful! Roger

That is some beautiful singing, great steel and fiddle work. Going to order one of the albums. Either this young lady showed up on the music scene about 50 years late. She would have fit right in with Connie Smith, Dottie West, Tammy, Loretta Lynn. and others of the 60's. Lets hope she is setting a new page in country music for 2013. If this becomes the new country out of Nashville, Steel Players won't have time to be on the forum. They will be rehursing or on stage playing. The best of luck To Amber and her music.
