COWBOY JOHNSON, A Grain of Sand: A Collection of Mickey Newbury Songs, (MoonHouse 2901). Supported by a fine team of Austin players, Johnson sings a dozen Newbury songs with love and empathy. The program nicely blonds hits with lesser known, but equally perceptive songs. If you never got to know Newbury's songs this will be a great primer. For Mick's fans, the album is a bittersweet remembrance.--MT
