There are no self-penned tracks on More Than Satisfied, the new album by Liz Talley, while she had five on her previous CD. This time, it’s twelve carefully selected tracks by various well known songwriters. It has been four years since Liz’ last album. To put things straight: A time well worth the wait.

Put the CD in your player and you’re off to a swinging start with Bump Bounce Boogie, followed by What We Don’t Have, a beautiful duet with Tony Booth, a singer who earned many accolades in the 70’s and who has recently won the Male Vocalist of the Year award by the Will Rogers Academy.

The fact that Liz took two wonderful songs of my longtime friend Becky Hobbs on her album is a pleasant surprise for me. With One Man’s Angel and Reading Mama’s Bible, Liz selected two slowdance tunes.

My favorites are the uptempo track I’m Crying Teardrops and the swing title You Can’t Take Texas Out Of Me.

Traditional Country and Western Swing music is greeting the listener, and that’s exactly what you expect from a Texan. No experiments, no Rap, nothing but plain, great Country Music, that's worth being called that name.
