Butch's Old
Town CD gets rave review
Bill Graham, of the Kansas City Star,
writes:
I was digging through CDs stacked
in my bedroom the other night and looking
for something good to listen to, something
I wasn't burnt out on.
Up came Old Town, and yeah, I thought,
this is sweet.
But you forget just how sweet, until
those first notes of the title track "Old
Town" burst out of Baldassari's mandolin.
