Amazon.com Back in 1994, David Ball's twangy, new-traditionalist smash Thinkin' Problem was like a golden needle in a haystack, hidden among that year's tangle of sound-alike hat acts. Since that breakthrough, though, Ball's singles have stiffed, and stiffed again. Predictably, then, the weakest moments on 1999's Play, Ball's third album for Warner Bros., are the ones that try to fit in with the successful sounds of late-'90s country radio. Clearly, the empty "Hasta Luego, My Love" is a song that exists solely because of its famous movie catch phrase, and arena-rock drums pounds the emotion out of more than a couple of numbers here. But when Ball turns to the dance-hall honky-tonk and boogie-woogie that he loves most, the disc soars. "Lonely Town" and "When I Get Lonely" have the beef and bite of the best Dwight Yoakam cuts, and the sweet cover of Jim Lauderdale's "What Do You Say to That" is tender and romantic in a way Ball has never been before. --David Cantwell Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsDavid Ball - PLAY is definitely worth the long wait! ncaviness | Liberty NC | 12/01/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "It's been a while since David Ball's last CD! The man gets it right every time...and just keeps on getting better! A True Country Artist/Songwriter/Musician...There is none better! "Going Someplace to Forget" is a real country classic, crying-in-your-beer kind of tune, "Grain of Salt" is a clever play on words, and "Lonely Town" sounds like it wouldn't be so lonely if David is there to sing it! All the songs on the cd are winners (as David says, he wouldn't put a loser on it!), and with David's unique style and voice (with that SC/TX accent)...this is an outstanding cd that you just PLAY...and PLAY...and PLAY...and......" A winner--------pure country Bill Scoggins | riverdale, georgia usa | 10/10/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "one of the best of the new country artists-----------------track 7 going someplace to forget is about as country as you can get----------------------------david ball shows he is not only a talented vocalist but also a very talented writer---5 stars----" Great country music Bill Scoggins | 08/15/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "David Ball is one of the few country singers singing REAL country music. Virtually every other so-called country singer pales next to him. This is a very good CD, although it can't compare to THINKING PROBLEM, the greatest honky tonk CD of the 90s."
