- Richard Dobson is the Hemingway of Country Music. - Nanci Griffith

- If Richard Dobson never wrote another song, Piece Of Wood & Steel would guarantee his immortality. There's not a better song about a man's relationship with his guitar. Fortunately for us Richard has a full bag of songs about all sorts of relationships, characters & outlandish circumstances. - Larry Monroe, DJ, KUT, Austin, Texas

- His words are precise and never wasted. He's one of my favorite songwriters. - Townes Van Zandt

- Whenever I hear some of Richard Dobson's songs, I think they're the greatest George Jones hits ever written. Pity for him George never recorded them, especially as they're just the tip of a golden iceberg of great songs, too few of which have been recorded by anybody but Dobson himself. But hey, that's OK too. Nashville's loss, our gain. - John Conquest, Music City Texas/Freelance London

- Dobson is a thoughtful songwirter & a moving interpreter of his own material. - Billboad Magazine

- The man can write songs - plain & simple. - Cash Box Magazine

- Richard Dobson is one of the best songwriters in Nashville, make that the whole United States. - John Prine

In June 1993, Richard Dobson and his State of the Heart Band - Mark Sergio Webb and Susie Monick - recorded a live CD at Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studio outside Austin. Called 'Mankind,' only a few copies were pressed, and the CD went into obscurity. Now after more than 20 years Richard and producer Harold Eggers approached Bear Family to issue the CD, so Richard added a couple of Bonus tracks. Here are some of the recording details:
Richard plays a 1970 D-18 Martin, the original 'Piece of Wood & Steel'.
Multi-instrumentalist Susie Monick, a founding member of Buffalo Gals, the first all female Bluegrass band, plays a 1950 Gibson RB-250 Mastertone banjo, a Castagnari button accordion, and a 1912 Gibson A-model mandolin.
A veteran of Pinto Bennett's Famous Motel Cowboys, Mark 'Sergio' Webb plays a 50s Gibson J-50 with custom B-bender. He plays Telecaster on the bonus tracks.

Customer evaluation for "Mankind (CD)"

From: BF Presse On: 22 Sep 2015

Makelloser Klang

Good Times 5/2015 "In makellosem Klang kommt jetzt die remasterte Wiederveröffentlichung auf CD daher, eine klasse Leistung, wenn man bedenkt, dass damals alle Songs in einem kleinen Studio in Austin mittels eines DAT-Recorders eingespielt wurden. Das dicke 46-Seiten-Booklet liefert Bear-Family-typisch die ausführliche Story, zahlreiche Bilder sowie alle Texte."
