Reviewed by Carrie Attebury

I was thrilled when Shel offered me the chance to review a CD by an up-and-coming country music artist by the name of Thomas Leary, who is from my homestate of Illinois. He grew up in Illinois and Arizona and studied music at Milton College in Milton, Wisconsin.

"Trails Got Me Mama" is one of my favorite songs on the album. It tells the story of truck driver who is torn between making a living and being with his family.

"Bluegrass Baby" the second song on the album, reached number 16 on the European Independant Country Charts this last summer.

"Please Leave A Message" is a good ole honky tonk style tune. It's interesting to note that this song has just been released by the British music group "Dianne Rhodes And The Stone Eagle Band."

My most favorite song from the album is most definatly "Wrapped Round My Finger." It's just got that certain somthing.

"Trouble's My Middle Name" is a slowed down bluesy tune, very much in the style of the classic rock tune "Bad To The Bone."

"Still The Lovin Is Fun" is a tune very much in the style of B.J Thomas' soft love tunes of the 1970s.

"Forget About That" is a song that I just cannot get out of my head. I love this song!!!!! Its also more twords the 1970s soft rock style.
