IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT. I HAVE LOVED THIS WOMAN'S MUSIC SINCE I FIRST HEARD HER SONG "THE THINGS YOU LEFT UNDONE" IN 1990! SHE IS A RARE TALENT, ESPECIALLY IN A TOWN THAT HAS TURNED IT'S BACK ON TRADITIONAL HEARTFELT TO THE BONE COUNTRY MUSIC. I WOULD WAIT ANOTHER "100 YEARS" JUST TO HEAR THE MAGIC WORDS THAT ROLL FROM HER TONGUE. HOPEFULLY, THAT WON'T BE NECCESSARY AS SUPERSTARS LIKE KENNY CHESNEY HAVE DISCOVERED WHAT SOME OF US HAVE KNOW FOR DECADES.
Just like so many other singers I have followed for the last 50 years,including the recently deceased Jerry Jeff Walker who was not widely recognised given his great abilities.
Beautiful. Simply everything about this is beautiful, from the melody to the lyrics to the extremely tasteful peddle steel to the recording. And of course Matraca Berg.
Matraca Berg: Greatest Hits! Where can I find it? Get back in the studio Matraca. The real country music and Americana music fans want to know where we can buy your music. Got to get around the music industry idiots, these days, because they are tone deaf when they can't hear what we hear, when Matraca sings the songs she wrote. Just great music and a beautiful voice, coming from Matraca Berg. What is not to love? Let's all ignore the soulless asses, who disliked Matraca's songs. Hope you get a lot more blessings and money for your songs Matraca. You deserve every good thing that comes to you! Still listening, in 2018!
Problem with Matraca is she's better than everyone else in Nashville and deserves a wider audience., so damn real and earthy, a beautiful uniquely talented song writer whom i consider one of the very best we've ever had. glad she's making money from the songs she wrote for some Nashville " heavy weights" wish she would release a new cd once a year.
Matraca bearing her soul and wearing her heart on her sleeve for everyone to see. I feel sorry for these simple clod hopping fools that choose to make faces at the camera while such delicate art is taking place right in front of their eyes.
I was looking to reply to some of the intelligent comment here, especially Brian Dupree, but reply wasn't available, at least to me. Matraca is superb. Nuff said.
