Way Out Here, Josh Thompson
1 of 1 found this helpful It is hard to believe this is his first CD. Every song is great. There is variety, meaning some songs are fun, other serious, some are fast paced, and others are slow soulful ballads. Not your typical one hit, and 10 filler songs that they didn't know what to do with. There are easily 6 or 7 songs, besides Beer on the Table, that could be recorded as singles and stand on their own. Listen closely to "Sinner", and you will see what I mean. This CD was a lot like buying a new Beatles or Beach Boys vinyl back in the day- you weren't sure what you were going to get, but you were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the work performed. Also, listen for the lead guitar- this guy is tremendous.

A Great Baseball Story
I bought the DVD of the Natural with Robert Redford, because I couldn't rent it any longer.This is one of the best films done on baseball. It is a very well photographed films. There is a real beauty in the photography. Team that up with an all star cast of Redford, Glen Close, Barbera Hershey, Kim Bassinger, Wilford Brimley, Joe Don Baker, Darin McGavin, and Robert Duvall and you have a film that is very high in entertainment value. This film was made in 1984, and I don't think they could make this film today. Just look at the cast, and the kind of money these superstars would get today. The locations used, the subtile little touches like playing at Wrigley Field before the famous Ivy covered walls had fully matured. The lighting, costumes, and period correct set dressing makes this a very "pretty" film with a touching storyline. A must see for any real baseball fan.
