This great singer from Millican, Texas was basically known locally around Houston. That's were all items on this CD were recorded - some under his name, some under Ben Christians band name. He once belonged to Ben's band as well he was a member of the Bar X Cowboys. He sings great honky tonk country songs, but also tends to western swing. The musicians are rather unknown, but are great. Christian plays fiddle, Deacon Evans steel guitar, Ralph Smith piano, Sleepy Tompkins electric mandolin and fiddle plus many more. The sound variety is wide. You better taste this CD to use your own judgement!
