Customer Reviews

Grab this CD---excellent music and highly underrated
You've got musicians banding together from everywhere with one person in common, Oklahoma sideman Jamie Oldaker. There are two Oklahomans besides him, JJ Cale and Vince Gill. But you've also got Peter Frampton, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson and a whole passel of other folks singing and playing on this collection. What's the music about? Oklahoma, mostly--but the theme is for the most part, very upbeat.

It's hard to pick a standout from this CD. Probably my favorite is "Positively" by Clapton, the song rolls out like a good Spring day in the country.

"Magnolia" was a surprise. I first came to know Tony Joe White because of his trademark "Polk Salad Annie" and his funny and funky live session at Austin City Limits, but this slow thoughtful ballad really makes use of his voice.

Hadn't heard any Frampton since the 70's and "Sending Me Angels" was nothing I'd have expected from him either, but it's a gorgeous gospel feeling song and Peter's voice has not changed a bit.

If you like any of the artists I've mentioned and want a various collection that will show the depth and breadth of their talents in ways that you have not expected, this is definitely a CD you need to get.

Jamie Oldaker and his Tulsa shuffle
Jamie Oldaker, the drummer with Eric Clapton for many years and with The Tractors and others have made a truly fine CD. The Tulsa shuffle is so good to hear in this setting. "Mad Dogs & Okies" is a CD that makes you smile and feel good. Many fine guests or friends are visiting the studio - the only one missing is the Master of Space and Time - the one and only Leon Russell. Even without him it is a GREAT CD.

Go get it, you will love it.

Off the Charts - a must for all that truly like music - and I don't mean today's stuff.
