Question: Title: A modern-day minstrel! Review: The best music still comes from New Jersey. "Unvarnished" has great lyrics, cool arrangements, and sparkling guitar tracks. Amazing what one person can do these days in a home studio ...Will's lyrical content really stretches on this album; for example, the first track is written from the perspective of an "historical home." And his use of alternate tunings keeps the flow of songs interesting.Good stuff! Is the review positive or negative?
Answer: Positive

Question: Title: Disappointing! Review: I bought this album on CD when it was first released. I compaired notes with a copy of this album on LP, amd Ross Jr RUINED this classic album! The songs "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," and "Boot Scootin' Boogie." should have been on the Low Places CD. He totally ruined "I love a Rainy Night" by putting dialog all over the song.For those that want the classic album, can look for it on line. The original LP had Brenda Lee singing "Made For Each Other" with Alvin, as well as "Back to the Basices of Love..." Please Ross. Stop ruining the oruginal LPs.Sorry Alvin you srruck out with this re-issue. Bagdasarian made a mess of this one.... Is the review positive or negative?

Question: Title: Texas Troubador Tells It As It Is.... Review: James Mcmurtry can paint a better picture with words than that of every artist in the Louvre put together. He sees the world through the eyes of a man that has been around much longer than he has. To not mention every song on this CD is a travesty but any McMurtry fan will know evry song is right on lyrically and musically. "12 O'Clock Whistle" is a wonderful song about small town Texas and the everyday "goings-on" that are uneventful and so intensly poetic. "Peter Pan" will take you back through childhood and put a grin on your face through the whole song. James is as solid on stage as he is on his CD's. He writes as well as Dylan and Townes Van Zandt. He could possibly be the greatest songwriter of this new millenium. He's hit his stride. Ladies and Gentlemen, the horse is out of the gates and he's not looking back. Put your bets down. He's no longshot as is no CD you are considering buying by this truly talented artist. Is the review positive or negative?
