TREVINO ON TARGET--AGAIN!  Nov 15, 2001
THIS IS THE BEST TEXAS DANCE HALL MUSIC SINCE JUSTINS FIRST EFFORT. THE DANCE BEAT IS STILL THERE, THE TWIN FIDDLES ARE SMOOTH, AND THE TWO STEEL PLAYERS ARE OUTSTANDING. THE RECORDING AND MIX ARE AS GOOD AS YOU COULD DESIRE AND CO-PRODUCER JOHNNY BUSHES INFLUENCE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. JUSTINS OH-SO SMOOTH AND EFFORTLESS PHRASING ARE EVIDENT THROUGHOUT BUT ESPECIALLY ON CUT # 2. I'M NOT USUALLY IMPRESSED BY COVERS OF FARON OR MARTYS SONGS BECAUSE, IN MY MIND, THEY OWN THEM AND COVERS PALE BY COMPARSON. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF EXCEPTIONS HERE; A FEW GUYS DO OK ON COVERING FARONS "LEAVING AND SAYING GOODBYE" BUT NOT AS WELL AS JUSTIN. FEW ARTISTS EVEN ATTEMPT TO COVER MARTYS SONGS, AND WE KNOW WHY. YET, JUSTINS RENDITION OF " WALTZ OF THE WIND" IS ABSOLUTELY SUPERB. IF YOU LIKE WESTERN SWING, HONKY-TONK MUSIC, OR LEGEND JOHNNY BUSHES STYLE, YOU WILL APPRECIATE THIS GREAT CD BY A LIVING LEGEND AND A LEGEND TO BE.

REAL Country Music At Last!  May 12, 2001
Connoisseurs of Texas country music have known about Justin Trevino for a long time. He's been playing the dance halls and beer joints since he was 12 years old, and recording albums almost as long. Justin's previous self-produced records -- "Texas Honky-Tonk" and "Loud Music and Strong Wine" -- are collectors items, cherished by fellow musicians and disc jockeys around the world. With "Traveling Singing Man," Justin's music is now widely distributed to the rest of the world. If you love REAL country music, sung from the bottom of the heart and featuring the best pickers in Texas, this album is a MUST-have for your collection. Justin's vocals, always extraordinary, are backed by pickers with no equals anywhere. Only Justin could have picked such a perfect slate of songs, which range from the rare and obscure (the title cut, an old Justin Tubb gem) to the famous ("One More Drink and Then I'll Go"). And only Justin could deliver this set of songs with so much passion AND precision. Nobody in Nashville comes close to Justin's vocal talent or his committment to the rich tradition of country music. Looking for the next George Jones or Lefty Frizzell? He's right here, on this record. While you are ordering this one, be sure to get Justin's last record ("Loud Music"), which Amazon is also selling now. You will thank me right before you order extra copies for your friends who think country music has died. And get your tail down to Texas to catch Justin with Johnny Bush or Cornell Hurd as soon as you can. This guy is a musician's musician, a dancer's dream, and a country music lover's savior. Don't believe me? Ask Johnny Bush, Don Walser, Kitty Wells, Leona Williams, or any country music disc jockey who still cares about the music. BUY THIS RECORD NOW!
