    Radney Foster's latest album, a live collection with a bonus of 2 studio cuts, should be Album Of The Year at both the CMA's and ACM's. Why country radio has not warmed up to Radney's music is beyond me. He has a warm, addictive voice and the songs... he writes cut straight to the heart.From the opening notes of "Tonight" to the end (which is the studio version of "Tonight"), this album rocks!For those of you who are not Radney fans, you will be after purchasing this album. It rocks, it soothes, it jives, it can make you laugh and cry.For fans of Foster & Lloyd, you won't be disappointed with the newly cut version of "Texas In 1880" sung with Pat Green. If this song doesn't get you going, nothing will. For fans of Radney solo, "Nobody Wins" is sung with such intensity, it will blow you away. "Just Call Me Lonesome" has a bluesy sound to it. The other songs on here show Radney's soft side, as well as his fun, rocking side.There's something here for everyone. You won't be disappointed! There is not a bad song in the bunch. Most artists these days have a few good songs on an album and the rest is filler. Not the case here. Radney has this album chock-full of excellent tunes. The only one missing is "Never Say Die." It was recut by the Dixie Chicks and I was hoping Radney would include it here.Do yourself a favor and give your ears some great music! Read more Less

    I give this Album 5 stars. The songs on this Cd are an excellent remix of Radney Foster's origional songs. Pat Green and Radney Foster make a good team in "Texas in 1880"

Pro Reviews: Are You Ready for the Big Show?

  • All Music Guide

    Few contemporary country artists deliver a live performance distinctively unique from the formulaic recordings processed by Music Row; one artist who does this is Radney Foster. Are You Ready for the Big Show? released on Dualtone Music Group, takes various live performances from September 21st and 22nd, 2000, at ~the Continental Club in Austin, TX, of Fosters' new material as well as his standards. The album captures the basic artistry of Radney Fosters' songwriting repertoire as well as a back-porch jam session featuring mandolin protégé Chris Thile (Nickel Creek), and Nashville's best kept secret, guitarist Mike McAdam (Steve Earle, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jack Ingram). For fans of Fosters' earlier solo work, Are You Ready for the Big Show? includes a Cajun rearrangement of "Just Call Me Lonesome" (Del Rio, Texas, 1959) and a slimmed-down acoustic version of "Nobody Wins" (Del Rio, Texas, 1959). The album's single is the unearthed Foster and Lloyd classic "Texas in 1880," unlisted as... hidden track 16. On Are You Ready for the Big Show? Radney Foster returns full circle to his neo-traditionalist roots, which separated him from the droves of aspiring Nashville singer/songwriters early in his career. - Matt Reasor, All Music Guide Read more Less
