The Imus Ranch Record

"Money Can't Buy Back, All Your Youth When Your Old
A Friend When Your Lonely, Or Peace To Your Soul
The Wealthiest Person, Is A Pauper At Times
Compared To The Man, With a Satisfied Mind.' Hayes and Rhodes

No matter how you view Don Imus, he has an ear for music. He has brought an eclectic mix of country/rock n'roll/folk music, and some of the best singers of those worlds to sing on this DVD. It has been said Don Imus suggested particular songs to these artists, and in most cases he hit gold. Thirteen artists sing their hearts out for the Imus Ranch Project.

'Silver Springs' by Patty Loveless- the old Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac song is perfect for Ms. Loveless-timeless and effortless.

"Lay Down Sally" by Delbert McClinton-a fresh take on the old Eric Clapton tune.

Guess how many artists' would use their own money and time to create a song, record a song and sign off on profits from that song? Don't know?? Well, how 'bout this...ALL of the artists on the Imus Ranch Record did just that!!!!! Every song sung from the heart from every artist on this album is for charity. Here is an album that not only provides enjoyment to the purchaser just to listen to, but it provides even more enjoyment for the knowledge that ALL of the proceeds are going to charity. Complete circle of love. This is the way it is done. Imus and friends have found a way to once again enable all of us to give. Thank you Imus, Thank you artists.

The first cut, Patty Loveless singing "Silver Spring" sets a high standard for the rest of the CD. Most reach it and some don't but there is not a 'skipper' in the whole album. These great singers are having some fun for a good cause and it shows through. Bless the old blow-hard, Imus, for his efforts to help young cancer patients and their families.
