Reviewed by Carrie Attebury

Bobby Osborne is well known in the world of bluegrass singers. Bill Monroe listed Bobby as one of his two favorite tenor singers. He has been performing since the early 1940s with his brother Sonny.

"Let The World Keep On Turning" is an upbeat bluegrass song.

"Bad News From A Friend" is a sad song about a guy who is losing the woman he loves to another man. He is also losing one of his friends because as Bobby says, "He Can't Be Much Of A Friend If He Would Tell Me Such News."

"I'll Be There" has always been one of my favorite Ray Price songs. Bobby does an awesome job with this upbeat tune.

Everyone knows what a Lefty Frizzell fan I am. It was a good surprise to find "Mom And Dad's Waltz" on this cd.

"Pick Me Up On Your Way Down" is a good old honky tonk song, about a guy whose wife cheated on him, and just has stepped back and says, "After you have had your fun I'll still be here for you."

"Who Needs You" is a good old mournful tear in your beer song.
