Bobby Flores has done it again !!

Post by Wade Branch »

Guys, Bobby Flores has a new album out,its called "Neon Nights"

I just got it this weekend and I listened to the whole thing continously,I could'nt get out of the truck.Bobby Flores knows how to make a record !!!

What a song selection,how about "Who'll be the first to say (I told you so) or my personal favorite "Case of Sorrow" he does a version of "Make the world go away" that with his vocals will give you goosebumps that you could'nt jump over.

This is a must have for you traditional guys who love Bobby Flores and all those great steel guitarist he uses(Tommy Detamore,Rick Price,Randy Rheinhard,Jim Loessberg and Bobby himself)not to mention the great fiddle work and the string arrangements that he does so well.Jake Hooker on upright bass...enough said.Dave Biller(fellow forum member) on electric guitar,I love the classic old electric guitar intro that was played on "Country Girl" its always amazing how Bobby captures that old vintage sound.

Bobby ,my amigo....You have done it again !!

He is one of my ALL TIME favorites.

The feeling and soul in his records is unlike anything I have heard in the last couple of decades!

I heard his version of "KEEPER OF MY HEART" and was wondering who played steel on it. I enjoyed it.

Thanks for the heads up Wade!

Randy, I'm pretty sure that was Randy Reinhard on "Keeper of My Heart".

I cant wait to hear the cd!!
Did you know you can take steel lessons from Randy Rienhard at Bobbys Bulverde Acadamy of Music?
Bobby is going to be teaching some E9th things himself.
If anyone deserves success it is Bobby. He is one of the hardest working people I know.
Please Buy the CD to enjoy it.

It is an awesome CD. My review can be found at the top of the "Review" section of my "Swingin' West" web site. www.swinginwest.com
Lots of great steel players on the CD.

I have just about every CD Bobby has done, and everyone of them is a big hit with me! They are all so good, it's hard to decide which one is a favorite because they ALL are! When it comes to musicians, Bobby has the best of the best on his recordings, and his live performances! You folks in Texas are so lucky to have him there. If I lived there I would never miss a gig! The playing that Tommy Detamore is doing on some of Bobby's CD's is so good that I can't even find the words to describe it. The material on all of Bobby's recordings is country music at its best, and I think that Nashville could learn a lesson or two from the things I'm hearing out of Texas these days. WOW!! This stuff is a musicians "dream come true"!!!

Great CD

Post by Joey Ace »

I agree with the rave reviews.

The production is so clean and the musicianship excellent.

It's wonderful to hear refreshing new takes on some of the classic standards. "Make The World GO Away" is one of my favorites.

I only wish the print was larger in the insert. That's true of many CDs. I guess I only read it once, but listen many times.

Thanks Bobby.

Joey,

I couldn't agree with you more on CD information. I use this many times for personnel and dates to give to my listeners on the air and sometimes even the background coloring makes it impossible for almost the best eyes to read this information.
