"I can hardly believe what I'm hearing on this CD from the Asteroid No.4. They're playing what {some might} consider to be neo-psychedelic country rock. Is that even a genre? Actually, they make it work for them. This entire thirteen disc just totally caught me off guard. Tracks I liked best were "Running Away", the semi-foot stomping "Big City Blues', the title cut "Honeyspot", the familiar-sounding "One Time", the Byrds-like "California" {best song on the entire CD} and the Dylan-ish "Trolley Car Blues". This effort MUST'VE been majorly influenced by the late Gram Parsons {guitarist on the Byrd's 'Sweetheart Of The Rodeo album}. Not a bad thing, though."
