1 RODNEY ATKINS Curb 15 Minutes The worst fifteen minutes of his life will three of the best of yours – guaranteed. 2 CHUCK MEAD Grassy Knoll In A Song Slow intro-ed but irresistible. Just try not singing along. 3 DOTTIE JACK Startex Today Is Not The Day / Once A Day / Yesterday All Day Long Today / Talkin’ To The Wall / Eyes Don’t Come Crying To Me She’s a mad for a shuffle, and sings ‘em real well too.

The master of hillbilly swing. 6 WILLIE NELSON & ASLEEP AT THE WHEELBismeaux Right Or Wrong / Shame On You / Sweet Jennie Lee / Won’t You Ride In My Little Red Wagon / Corrine Corrina / South We can just hope there’s a volume 2 on the way. 7 TOMMY HOOKER Jack Mack Blue Smoke / Things To Remember / Feel Again / Somewhere South Of San Antone / Green Light Smooth voiced filler of the Texas dance halls. 8 RAUL MALO Fantasy Lonely Hearts Not only a good tune, good twang, and good for dancing. 9 EILEN JEWELL Signature Sounds The Darkest Day Fine honky-tonkin’ Loretta cover. 10 JIMMY MAYNARD JSM Why Did She Cry / Satisfied Eyes / Your Goodbyes A lifetime dream is realised.
