From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1980 studio album by Gary Stewart
Cactus and a Rose is a 1980
honky tonk/
Southern rock album by
country music
singer
Gary Stewart.
[1] The singer's seventh studio album, it only reached #49 on
Billboard's "Country Albums"
chart, spawning two low-charting singles: "Cactus and a Rose" (#48) and "Are We Dreamin' the Same Dream" (#66). Produced by
Chips Moman, it was a departure from his standard honky-tonk fare, as it features Southern rockers
Gregg Allman,
Dickey Betts,
Mike Lawler,
Bonnie Bramlett (from
Delaney, Bonnie & Friends), and
Randy Scruggs.
According to
AllMusic, the album proves that "Stewart could have easily fronted the
Allman Brothers or
Marshall Tucker or, vocally kicked
Charlie Daniels' southern rock butt from here to
Pascagoula as a great honky tonk singer."
