Stephen Bruton has a CD called, what else?, What It Is. With a title like that how could you go wrong, and you won't with this. It doesn't actually have any song entitled "What It Is", well there is one called "It Is What It Is" - and that was actually recorded by that great old country western group - The Highwaymen - (listen to their version of that great tune by Willie - "Always On My Mind". I'm sure you recognized them in the clip: Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings. However - back to Bruton - he has written a number of great country songs. The song to listen to on "What It Is" is "Too Many Memories" gorgeous tune that is sure to touch your heart just as it touched Big Frank's.
