Reviews :
The coupling of star trombonist Kai Winding with some of the best country & western songs, old and new is a great combination; Winding is one of the most melodic trombonists in jazz history. Winding and producer Creed Taylor recorded the album in Nashville, including greats like "I Walk The Line" and "Busted." The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man Pressing in Detroit.
