Tommy Alverson – Country To The Bone
Tommy Alverson fiercely hews to the time-honored Texas country music tradition — a little swing, a little twang, a lot of heart. He’s a mentor, producer, festival promoter, songwriter and singer who takes responsibility for keeping boot marks on the honky-tonk hardwood floor. This fourteen-track disc features full-band versions of Alverson originals (“Second Hand Love”, a reprise of “Texas Woman”) plus tunes by Doug Sahm (“Be Real”), Jim Lauderdale (“I’ll Still Be Around”), Mickey Newbury & Doug Gilmore (“She Even Woke Me Up To Say Goodbye”), Brian Burns (“Upside Down”), and Roy & Jerri Lynn Robinson (“This Buzz Is For You”).
