I first became aware of Scott Joss when I attended a Merle Haggard concert last year. He was playing fiddle, as well as some other instruments and sang some. It impressed me enough to do some digging to find out who he was. I found one of the songs on this CD on YouTube and really liked it, so decided to buy the CD. Every song is better than the one before. It's a terrific album that will be well appreciated by anyone who enjoys country music, esp. the Bakersfield sound. I later learned that he has been playing with Dwight Yoakam for several years. He's a true talent and should be a headliner himself.
