Got No Bread, No Milk, No Money, But We Sure Got A Lot of Love
30th Anniversary Release, A Classic Returns

“These back-porch tales of hardworking common folk are augmented by Talley’s understated guitar playing and lyrical wit.  Hr fordn’t sugarcoast country living or romanticize romance as most cowpokes seem compelled to.  After one listen, I knew this was special.” Discoveries for Record/CD Collectors

“.. Talley’s debut was hailed as a classic, and holding up magnificently, it’s more than fulfilled that praise… 20 years ahead of his time, today it would shoot straight into the Americana//roots charts, with nobody turning a hair.  Got No was arguably the first Americana album, but do have one criticism of it-the title’s too damned long.”
John Conquest, 3rd Coast Music

“… real, heartfelt and revealing music that’s strung with vision, depth and humanity.. remember the name:  James Talley.. an album that claimed wide critical interest for its lyrical honesty and life-worn observations.  It deserves the title of classic album:  one listen and you’ll easily hear why.  And despite the time travel, it still holds strong.  A collector’s gem.
George Peden, CountryStarsOnline.com

The best music – the kind that can stand that clichéd ol’ test of time – has a way or resonating as deeply and fully today as it did bckd when it was first recorded.  That comes to mind when I listen to “Got No Bread…  it sounds as fresh and relevant as it did back then – and as a bonus, it sound downright hip today, even though it was something of an anomaly back then”. 
Gil Asakawa, BlogHouse.com (Denver Post)

Occasionally I get introduced to some I should have known for years.. a great delight to find music that’s new to me that;s this good; that it cam out in 1975 annoys me slightly simply because I never heart it before, and I should have.  A performer this influential on all th eother music I love should have come to my attention sooner.  ..  this plainly a fine album.  Pure, perfect Americana from the “dawn” of the idea of Americana as its own genre, a 30th Anniversary reissue that’s geniun, timesless and terrific.

“Got No Bread is an ode to another place and time, an album that never forgets country music's working class origins and rural roots. The folks that populate these songs still wear Sunday suits, chew tobacco, and dig in the sandy land for taters, and it must have been an attractive vision for the complicated '70s, especially enticing to all of the ex-hippies who had gone back-to-the-land. Got No Bread is a solid album filled with original songs and great playing, and will be a real treat for anyone who appreciates the authentic sounds of honest-to-god country.”
