I guess it's not free anymore, but it's still worth downloading if you like honky-tonk at all. From top to bottom, these are great tunes. Sharp guitar, sure vocals, good ol' country boogie to make you want to kick over your barstool. If you want to sample it, start with either of the Robbie Fulks tracks, but especially "Parallel Bars," the Old 97's track, and "Daddy Rhythm Guitar."
I like a lot. Thanks a lot to boodshot guys.
I was fortunate to be at Grimey's Underground in Nashville last fall to see John Lankford and I stuck around for Paul Burch. I can't believe this guy wasn't on my radar. It felt like Hank Williams walked in and took the guitar from the skinny guy that first took the stage. Paul has more stage presence and a cleaner life sound than anyone I've heard in years. Both songs on this free album are excellent. Daddy Rythym Guitar is one of my favorites. It make me want to practice harder so my kids write songs about me someday. All of Paul's songs make me want to get up and do something. If nothing else, dance. He plays Texas Waltz tradition that is infectious. You won't be disappointed with any of his work.
Thank you EMUSIC and Blood Shot Records for this excellent sampler of great Honky Tonk tunes.
Next time I grab 12 fluid ounces i will be sure to put this one on! Even though I had heard some of these artist before it is not usually what i download, so I would suggest to any music fan to start grabbing now while they are still free!

Even though I've got half the stuff on here already, it's a tremendous free download. Well done Mr and Mrs Bloodshot.
Way to go, Emusic! A nice little treat for us 'cry in your beer' fans. Looking forward to more...
