prima-facie the product concept is good but the quality extremely poor in terms of construction. the packaging was pathetic and delivered by aramex before schedule. the base could have been made with light weight particle board or mdf, it would have been much better. there were 8 damages to the board which could have been prevented if some thermocol packing was provided at all the edges between the product and the cardboard box.

It's a very well narrated book. It's neat. But majority of facts are irrelevant. Firstly, she tells about the life of his father, and them, she tells about the life of his husband. It's very superficial.

This collection of songs is straight-ahead rockabilly. Taken as that, and not a comparison point for later Steve Earle, it's an excellent assortment of contemporary rockabilly tunes. Every song is not a classic, but, after hearing the vinyl album over 20 years ago, I can still mentally hear a fair number of the songs because they were that refreshing, distinctive, and enjoyable. I really liked the guitar playing and the pre-Dire Straits not-overly-processed Strat sound. The version of Devil's Right Hand on this recording is superior to any version that followed. Oddly, Steve Earle's southern accent is LESS evident here than on more recent recordings where his twang is almost annoying. Maybe he took diction lessons from Gillian Welch after this album, I don't know. Anyway, if you listen to it for what it is- rockabilly- it's a very enjoyable collection of songs.

This compilation, recorded in 1983 at the now-defunct LSI studio in Nashville, was the product of Earle's record deal with CBS. "The Devil's Right Hand" and "A Little Bit In Love" show writing promise, and Earle's impressive, gritty Texas guitar and sparse rockabilly instrumental arrangements (particlarly "Nothin But You") make this piece appealing for Earle die-hards and collectors, but was deemed unfit for country radio and the finished project here was unceremoniously shelved. (Ironically, "A Little Bit In Love" would later surface on Patty Loveless' second MCA CD.) For the most part, however, Earle's singing is not up to par and the few rays of light contained here did not prepare the listener (or Nashville's music heirarchy) for the monolith that was to come.

I See Track 4, 11, and 10 They Were All Skipped At The Whole Time

I live at a high altitude. This means I can cook beans all day, and they still won't get soft. I hate canned beans (don't like that tin flavor). This pressure cooker made all the difference in maintaining my vegetarian diet.The pressure cooker works wonderfully. The pans are heavy, the two different lids mean that they are useful for more than just pressure. The pressure lid fits securely, goes on easily, and comes off just fine. The bonus steamer and pasta cooker are actually useful, too!
