Product Summary
Country Sunshine - Bruce Robison

Bruce Robison
Country Sunshine
Guide Rating -  
Pros  •  Well written songs.
•  Sensitivity in some songs.
•  Relaxed sound.
Cons  •  Not enough songs in my opinion.
The Bottom Line - Bruce wrote all but four of the eleven tracks on Country Sunshine by himself, and those remaining four were co-written by him also, so you really get to hear his beautiful songwriting capabilities.

 
Product Description
•  Released on Bruce's own label.
•  Contains first single, "What Would Willie Do."
•  Duet with wife Kelly Willis.
 
 
Guide Review
Bruce Robison - Country Sunshine
It seems like every song that Bruce has ever recorded is splattered all over Texas Country Music stations while the matter of national airplay is rather sour at the moment just because people are afraid to like anyone that is not an already established mega millionaire.

A hilarious first single, "What Would Willie Do," has also been recorded by none other than Gary Allan for his "Alright Guy" album. Showing other emotions, "Sixteen," is a song about a relationship that is "taboo," while "Tonight" is about looking back at how exciting and fun love was when you were younger. His lovely wife, Kelly Willis sings a duet with him that is entitled, "Friendless Marriage," which is more along the lines of a Loretta Lynn/Conway Twitty that is not very lovey-dovey.

Artists should not be pushed around and molded into a "what's hot today, change my whole music style around" type of situation and for the refusal to allow this to happen to him I applaud Mr. Robison.
