Ron Workman - Finally Done It
No Label, No Number


Apparently a long time in the day dream stage, Ron Workman of Jordon Run has finally done it - he compiled 13 of his own original songs and with the help of some good friends has put together a very enjoyable solo album effort. There's nothing fancy but good solid grass, and the harmonies are tight. The songs are heart felt and strong, they're definitely something that you could hear any top notch acts of the genre working their own magic to. The blues influence is apparent in "Keep On Cryin" and the Native American workings within "Soaring Eagle" make for an intriguing combination. "Hey Moon" is delightful; soon to be a classic, something that will stick with you long after you put the CD away. You'll find a smile if you're a dog lover with "Always on the Wrong Side of the Door". The storyteller in Ron shines through in "Dead Flowers", "John's Last Request" and "Bluegrass Family Reunion". The twin fiddling on "Let's Take The True Not the Blue" of Danny Mullen and Buck McCumbers is something to listen to and enjoy. All in all, this solo effort is one to be very proud of and we're glad that Ron Workman finally done it!
