 Country, "Unprecedented." September 16, 2008

Classic artists, classic selections, stunning rendentions. Buy it in multiples, because you're gonna wear this thing out. And ALL of the money goes to a terrific charity, Imus' Ranch for Kids with Cancer. Remarkable CD... remarkable project. FIVE STARS! Only because SIX aren't available.
Excellent album!! September 18, 2008

This is an excellent album!! Great performances of very tasty selections! Little Richard is amazing, Raul Malo sings beautifully, Patty Loveless is wonderful, as always, Delbert is cool as ever, and Vince Gill performs a lovely, heartfelt tribute to Porter Wagoner. Buying this CD contributes to a very worthy cause, and listening to it is really enjoyable. Thanks to all the artists and to Don and Deidre Imus.
Fantastic September 23, 2008

This record is flat out fantastic. To those fools who suggest that Levon Helms is too old they don't know that of which they speak. Not only is his contribution to this record fantastic, he still puts on one heck of a show. The whole album is great, but hese dopes knocking Levon got my Irish up. I predict this will stand as a greatest hits album as one song after another climbs the Charts! Lucinda is already on the way. How great is it to hear Little Richard again? Buy it you will enjoy it for sure. It dosn't hurt to help such a worthy charity also.
Great Music, Great Cause December 11, 2008

I must confess I love the I-Man. How can I not? He has devoted endless hours and countless millions to helping kids with cancer -- all while making me laugh so hard I shoot snot-rockets of coffee across the breakfast table. As a longtime Texan who got shanghaied to Washington, this CD brings me back to the best of real music. Lucinda Williams sings "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys" - and sounds like she's opening up for Janis at Threadgill's on a Saturday night. Raul Malo sings "Life Has Its Little Ups and Downs" for every working stiff who couldn't afford to buy his sweetie that new dress in the window of Baker's Department Store. John Hiatt gives a big F-you to "the fat man on the radio" in "Welfare Music." Dwight Yoakam sings to a driving beat in "Give Back the Keys to My Heart" and Vince Gill soars on "A Satisfied Mind", the song Porter Wagoner rode to Number One in 1955. Vince reportedly recorded it for Imus just hours after he sang it at Porter's funeral.
And then there are the legends. Willie Nelson and Levon Helm are Imus faves (and where I'm from if you don't believe in Willie you're an atheist.) They give it their all - with Willie caressing "What a Difference a Day Makes" and Levon ripping your heart out on "You Better Move On."
I've had this album since just before it came out (Imus slipped me an early copy back in October.) But now that the holidays are upon us I'm buying several more - for everyone who I love who loves great music. 100% of the proceeds go to help kids with cancer live the life of the American cowboy at the remarkable Imus ranch. Hell, my only criticism is, for this music and this cause, they ought to double the price.

This is a Great Record! September 16, 2008

This a impressive record! Little Richard, Levon Helm, Randy Travis, Willie Nelson, and so many other greats... How often can you get an album of great songs, by iconic artists singing songs you won't hear anywhere else AND help sick kids?
Just like Imus's show, it has a little something for everyone.
