The Hits
Johnny Rodriguez
Price $ 9.97
Another U.S. fan, waiting for more releases. I hear Johnny R. in every room, and I can relate to the above fan wearing out their albums,
I still have Johnny on 8-tracks - O.K. I know, but you can put one of his in and it will play all day - no need to change anything - and
believe you me I can listen to Johnny all day and night. In other rooms I have the CD's - but for this 80's Lady you can't beat the old
8-tracks. When I like something - I like something - If he would record Happy Birthday - Yup I'd have to have that one too.

You Can Say That Again
Johnny Rodriguez
Price $ 13.99
I was amazed to discover that no one else had reviewed this flawless CD. Reviews are fundamentally
about comparisons and putting artists and their work in context I guess...so, does it help to say that this is
country with a Mexican flavour that sits with my CDs by Dwight Yoakam, Heather Myles, George Ducas,
Willie, Ricky Skaggs, plus all the Merles and Hanks etc? Its great in the mornings - the first song "Big
Red Sun Blues" shows he knows the importance of beginnings and endings in songs (you know - the
opening chords grab you and you start hummimg before you remember the song...). "Corpus Christi Bay"
is my favourite, just a great melody and chorus about another life spent drinking too much. However, like
Hank Snr. hits compilations, there are no bad or even weak songs - oh, its also really good for drinking
whisky to (malt, none of that sweet American bourbon). This is the best honky tonk flavoured CD of the
1990s, and certainly the most played in our house. Hey, when's he coming to New Zealand?

Best Of The Sir Douglas Quintet 68-75
Doug Sahm
Price $ 9.49
Gathered together on this CD collection are 22 tracks
from Doug Sahm's personal musical odyssey over the years 1968-75. "She's About A Mover" or "Mendocino" are worth the price. This too comes along as our favorite Sahm offering to our island.

Groover's Paradise [Import]
Doug Sahm
Price $ 26.49
A terrific piece of work. This album features Creedence Clearwater Revival's rhythm section - Stu Cook
on bass and Doug Clifford on drums (who doubles as producer) - and it's a must have for fans of both
Doug Sahm AND Creedence. The songs are outstanding, 'Catch Me in the Morning' deserves a place
somewhere among the best tunes ever written. A MUST HAVE.
