One of the real perks of being a reviewer
is getting to hear new artists. Randy
Thompson is a new artist that is a stand
out.

The crippling losses which country music
has suffered since the turn of the century
have resulted in the diminishment of the
genre, as so few are coming forward to
fill their shoes. Recently, we've heard
from Josh Turner, who has been compared to
a young Johnny Cash. Now here's Randy
Thompson, and I have to say, he's worthy
to try on the boots of Ol' Hoss himself.

Randy doesn't sound LIKE Waylon Jennings.
But there is a similarity, something that
struck me as I listened to this disc.
There's a lonesome growl in the low tenor
voice, a cry in the Telecaster, a
plaintive quality to the lyrics and a
country-blues beat that just feels like
Waylon. Randy Thompson presents his music
without excuses, he simply sings his
songs.

Leading off with a short Steve Young
composition, "The Whole World," this debut
disc is powerful straight through.
Thompson's no-nonsense vocals are
accompanied by a strong backup band and
light-handed production which, although
done by several people in several
different places, seems to retain a unity
of whole.

Randy Thompson makes a dandy first
impression. I hope to hear a lot more from
him in the years to come.

SCREW THE INDUSTRY!!!!   SUPPORT THE *ARTISTS*!!!!
