Country Music People Review May 2004
BOBBY
ATKINS We
Do It For You / It Wouldn’t Be The Same Thunderbolt Records TB – 4488 (42:15) “For this new CD, Bobby performs 16 new songs; numbers you know and love.” Hmm. Must be the moonshine. Still, this contrary observation from Jacky True (yes, of those estimable True Brothers) hits the mark in one respect - in this latest collection from Bobby Atkins, the veteran performer offers his take on some of the best known songs in country music. The familiarity of the material (at least to older fans) doesn’t make this set any less enjoyable, however. Atkins is in fine form, and his pleasant baritone treats the covers with warmth and charm. The True Brothers make a guest appearance, and their own song, We Do It For You, is a highlight. (www.honkytonkin.com) Craig Baguley Country Music People May 2004

Artist: Bobby Atkins Title: We Do It For You/It Wouldn't Be The Same Label: Thunderbolt rec. By: Marcus Thell 4.5 hats (5 hats is the best you can get!) Bobby Atkins is a well known name in bluegrass music. He
has played guitar and banjo for the likes of Bill Monroe, Stonewall Jackson, Mac
Wiseman and Flatt & Scruggs. This CD though is country and consists of 14
classic country songs like "Your Old Love Letters", "Early
Morning Rain" and "Release Me" plus the two newly written title
songs. Among the musicians Bobby has his sons, Mark, Jason and Matt that do a
good job. The CD is produced by Jacky True (from the True Brothers), Dick Minor
and Bobby, himself. The best songs on this very good traditional country-CD are;
"New Patches", "Miller's Cave". "15 Years Ago"
(the best track), "We Do It For You", Kristofferson's "Come
Sundown" and "Before I Met You". But actually there isn't a
single bad song here. Even if you've got all the songs before this CD is still
worth buying and Bobby has a great voice and does them just as good as the
orginal versions. This CD and many more records with them can be bought at
Bobby's and Mark's website www.bobbyandmarkatkins.com
