Synopsis

Amazon.com
Hang on! After the title track storms out of the chute like a bucking bronco, Jesse Dayton takes listeners on a wild ride across roadhouse country. He swaggers his way through "Tall Walkin' Texas Trash" as if channeling the cocksure spirit of Waylon Jennings (with whom Dayton recorded as a guitarist) and conjures the border cantina atmospherics of Doug Sahm on the accordion-laced "All Because of You" and "Moravia." The album takes a detour with a revival of the Cars' "Just What I Needed," rearranged for fiddle and steel guitar. Best of all is the down-home soul of "Ain't Grace Amazing." Riley Osbourn's keyboards and Carolyn Wonderland's backing vocals add a bluesy strain, while the horn charts on "It Won't Always Be Like This" and "Just to Get You Off My Mind" sound more Memphis than Nashville. With some down-and-dirty guitar powering "Talkin' Bobby Dale's Hard Luck Blues," the album never loses its reckless energy nor compromises its independent spirit. --Don McLeese

Insanely Infectious--4 and half stars

"I heard a Jesse Dayton track on an Americana compilation two years ago. It was pretty good, but didn't prompt me to run out and purchase a CD. My loss.



This is how country music is supposed to sound. There are a couple of tracks that explore a Stax/Memphis soul sound, but the heart of this CD is Texas honky tonk, amiable, fresh and effortlessly enjoyable. My only complaint...and it's a minor one...this is so polished, I'd prefer a few rough edges here and there."
