Thanks for the review, Bruce. Roy (not talking Clark) was gifted, spiritually and vocally. A loss right up there with Lennon. This review is now up at Advance.net, by the way. Click here. Let the artist / record company know, perhaps? - Temple

"It's also a very interesting object lesson in the importance of finding yourself" Yes - I imagine at the time when he left Memphis and headed back to Texas, his career didn't look that bright. But he ended up with a unique sound that put him in the RR Hall of Fame.

thanks Bruce, very nice job - I love Roy and have heard some of the early rockabilly stuff and he doesn't have the swagger of the best rockabilly, nor is his voice as well served as by the rock operas. It's also a very interesting object lesson in the importance of finding yourself. Imagine how many artists out there never did.
