Review by Klaus P. Lewohn

Album Review: Country Sunshine by Tom T. Hall, Roy Orbison, Kitty C. Tomkins (1982) Alright, let’s talk about Country Sunshine. Released in ‘82 on Out Of Town Records, this album is a slice of pure country goodness with just enough folk vibes to keep things cozy. It’s like sitting on a porch swing after a long day—comfortable but still kinda catchy. The gang behind it—Tom T. Hall, Roy Orbison, and Kitty C. Tomkins—brings their A-game here, blending heartfelt lyrics with melodies that stick to your brain like syrup on pancakes. Now, the tracklist has some gems, but two songs really stood out for me: “Faster Horses, Younger Women, Older Whiskey” and “Hello Little Bluebird.” Let’s break ‘em down real quick. First up, “Faster Horses, Younger Women, Older Whiskey.” Man, what a title, right? This one grabs you from the get-go because who hasn’t felt that pull toward chasing something better—or at least different? The tune itself rolls along nice and steady, kinda like an old truck cruising down a backroad. But the lyrics hit hard; they’re funny yet kinda sad too. Like yeah, we all want faster horses or whatever, but deep down, we know happiness ain’t found in any of those things. It’s simple, relatable stuff that sticks with you long after the song ends. Then there’s “Hello Little Bluebird.” Oh man, this one’s sweet as pie. It’s got this gentle, almost lullaby-like vibe to it. I think it’s the imagery—hearing about that little bluebird flitting around makes me feel like I’m out in some wide-open field somewhere, not stuck at my desk writing this review! There’s something innocent and hopeful about the whole thing, like even when life gets rough, there’s still beauty if you look for it. Plus, the harmonies are smooth as butter. You can tell everyone involved poured their hearts into this one. The rest of the album keeps the momentum going strong. Tracks like “Blues In My Mind” and “Old Love Songs” bring nostalgia without being cheesy, while cuts like “Sneaky Snake” add a playful twist to the mix. And hey, how could you not chuckle at a song called “That Song Is Driving Me Crazy”? These folks knew how to balance serious moments with lighter ones. But honestly, what I love most about Country Sunshine is its laid-back charm. It doesn’t try too hard to impress—it just does its thing and lets the music speak for itself. That’s rare these days, especially with so much overproduced junk floating around. Here’s the kicker though—I listened to this album while drinking coffee one morning, and suddenly I started wondering… why don’t more people write songs about birds anymore? Seriously, where’d all the bluebirds go in music? Maybe someone should start a trend. Call it Bluebirdcore. Yeah, okay, maybe I’ve been staring at this screen too long. Anyway, give Country Sunshine a spin if you’re into classic country sounds with soul. It’s not gonna blow your mind or anything, but it’ll sure make you smile—and maybe remind you to slow down once in a while.
