Evokes memories of growing up in the South Aug 22, 2006
I had not heard of Buddy Jewell until listening to Sweet Southern Comfort. It is the one song that I can close my eyes and be transported back to my childhood and the ease of living and the feelings of being carefree. A lovely sentiment and a great showcase for the gentleman's lush and rich voice.

Soothing Mar 06, 2005
I may not listen to a lot of Country music, but when my daughter gave me this CD as a gift I have to say I truly enjoyed it. "Help Pour Out The Rain," truly touched my heart, made me smile and wipe a few tears away. Very good. I loved the music in O'Reilly Luck.and grandpa's story.. All in all this is really a nice CD and one that should bring you hours of enjoyment. Recommended.

For country, a YES! Aug 20, 2004
Difficult for me to say this being that it is a Country album but it is very good. I really like the lyrics that Buddy throws out there and think he is refreshing in this genre.

 Not a big Nashville fan, but..... Aug 08, 2004
I gave up on Nashville a long time ago, preferring the Austin/Americana scene to the slick packaged country productions that seem to come off the Nashville assembly line with disturbing regularity these days, but I just might have to change my mind after listening to this CD. Yes, it's packaged, but gosh is it good, and there's more than one surprise to be had. As a father, Lacey's Song still chokes me up every time I hear it. As a Yankee who now calls the South home, Sweet Southern Comfort captures the grace and beauty of this part of the country wonderfully. As a sap for a sad country song, the remix of Today I Started Loving You Again with Miranda Lambert is as good as it gets. Buddy Jewell's debut album gives me hope for the future of Nashville music. Hopefully, the follow up is every bit as good.

Buddy Jewell is the real deal May 14, 2004
Buddy Jewell's self-titled debut album has already produced a couple of solid hits, "Help Pour Out The Rain(Lacey's Song)" and "Sweet Southern Comfort". "Help Pour Out The Rain" is a touching song that Buddy wrote about his relationship with his daughter, and "Sweet Southern Comfort" is a tribute to country living. Other strong songs on this record are Buddy's cover of the classic Merle Haggard song "Today I Started Loving You Again"; the somber ballads "One In A Row", "Abilene On Her Mind", and "Why We Said Goodbye"; the wisecracking "I Wanna Thank Everyone"; and "I Can Get By", the toe-tapping song that was written by Buddy's producer, Clint Black, and originally recorded by Clint. Unlike some other newer artists that have come onto the country music scene in recent years, Buddy has his roots in authentic country music. He's the "real deal" as far as music goes, and I look for him to be a solid country hit maker.
