"A loving tribute to some of the many C&W musicians who never got anywhere close to stardom, but had a ball playing the kind of music that filled up dance halls and honky tonks back in the day. With a few notable exceptions, nearly everything on Strut My Stuff counts as a dance tune, upbeat numbers that put a strong two-beat behind the fiddles and slide guitars while the lyrics share tales of love and heartache, funny stories of ordinary lives, boasting from singers and DJs dreaming out loud of fame and fortune, and the occasional warnings about getting too big for your britches. This music was made with the express purpose of having a good time, and each of the 32 selections here lives up to that promise ... Whether you already love vintage country or are just starting to explore the roots of the music, this is a must and a whole lot of fun".
