This album features 10 cuts from previous Diamond Cuts albums plus 10 more cuts, five of them were written specifically for this Tribute. The album was released to coincide with Nolan Ryan’s induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. “Everyone knows that baseball and American culture are deeply intertwined, but the Diamond Cuts compilation series proves it. Jeff Campbell’s labor of love in collecting seven CDs worth of baseball music stands as one of the great contributions of a single fan to the game. And the fact that all of the music is good music, not just novelty knock-offs, makes the achievement a contribution to American musical culture as well. ” Tim Wiles, National Baseball Hall of Fame |
