Sounds like real country when it kicks off with the story of a guy who goes to war and wants to be buried in Texas if he dies; hey, at least he's not singing about bars and chicks! Straight off I like this. My kind of country. Yeehaw! There's a good sense of down-home bluegrass to the music here, the lyrics are what I'd expect from a country (not a country pop) album and there's a real sense of honesty and earthiness about the whole thing. Even the few ballads are far from sappy. There's great energy in songs like “Outta Style”, and then reflective stories told as in the title track and “Texas Lullaby”, as already mentioned. Some great guitar work in “Run Wild Horses” - ah hell. I just love everything on this album. Going to have to get more of this guy's material. Where's me stetson hat?

Check out more from this artist? Oh yeah; I think I've become a fan
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes
