He has done it again! An album produced entirely on his terms, tailor-made by him for him. Country Music of the traditional variety in the sense of his heroes Willie Nelson, Ray Price and Jimmy Dickens. Accordingly, the selection of songs, in which he has half a dozen mixed own that go there like the famous hand in glove. Who knows Hermann Lammers Meyer, who knows what awaits him who is a fan of HLM, who expects just that.

It always amazes me how unerringly Herman The German chooses the songs for an album, because these songs characterize him as an artist and as a people. There are ballads - mostly sad - and sometimes a recitation (a more spoken than sung text). There are brisk track with funky fiddles and banjo. And there is word play and a song full of sarcasm as the title song. Such a thing can only write the incomparable Shel Silverstein. Where "Nashville" is representative of the business and the company stands for worldwide. This recording a duet with Johnny Bush and the background voice of Sandra Caroll is worth buying the CD alone. In general Sandra Caroll - it gives the album an extra spice and makes for highly entertaining variety.

Recorded the album was once more in his beloved Texas and the usual environment for HLM. He managed to reactivate steel guitar legend Buddy Emmons, Johnny Bush has already become something of a brother and of course his long time in the States has become home north German countrymen Rolf Sieker and Jurgen Koop to come out to play. The musician Bobby Flores, Jim Lossberg, Dave Biller, George Chambers, Jake Hooker and Randy Reinhard have in Texas (and elsewhere) sounding name. No wonder that feels sauwohl HLM in this environment and can develop really. Even in countries HLM has been a loyal fan base, for an album like this one looks even there in vain.

Conclusion: What is still on this album? Hermann Lammers Meyer with age with his own songs ever richer, while it is sitting still the mischievous and he flashed the child in the man still does. Exactly what makes him so appealing as people and as an artist as unique as indispensable. Why such an album found in the media are not accorded the attention it deserved? Shame on us too much to admit that we do not want to like country music, which not only, but always in demand especially the heart and the center of attention?
