"This is the second hour of a two part audio book, and featured more excerpts from several of his On The Road CBS tv programming. Since Charles passed away before the internet really exploded with offerings, we are unfortunately limited in the material available from this legendary American storyteller. His homespun,down to earth delivery and poetic manner of speaking is unique, nobody ever told stories about Americana like Charles did so naturally, and so beautifully. Interesting snapshots of a by-gone era in America."
— Frost (5 out of 5 stars)
