"Rock-a-billy? Perhaps. However, do not be fooled by a singular sampling. This album might be compared to fine bourbon in that it just gets better with time. Upon one's first listen, the sentiment might be that of a sound which is too country or too "rockish". Again, it should be said that what initially appears to be the case is certainly not with regard to Buckle in the Bible Belt. That is, what seems to be a variation of other country rockers currently on the market is actually a solid album with tremendous depth topped off by some of the most stunning vocals imaginable. Beyond that, it should also be said that this reviewer was actually a little disappointed after purchasing and then listening to this particular album, yet was later quite surprised to find something fundamentally enjoyable about the overall sound after a second chance had been granted. It is just good music and it is hoped that others will give it a shot."
