Like Box Car Willie a decade ago in Britain, Benny Berry could well be someone else who becomes popu­lar in the States after being 'discovered' in Britain! As with Boxie, you know that when you pick up a Benny Berry record it's good, down home country at its best with plenty of steel guitar and accompaniment. Benny had a hand in writing a couple of tracks. Several songs relate to familiar subjects for country music, home and family (like the title track) plus one superb gospel track "Old Gideon Bible". The more I play this album the more I like it! Mercifully it's free from cheat­ing and boozing lyrics which drag down so much coun­try output. So if you like your music in traditional style via George Jones and Merle Haggard this is for you!
