Synopsis
Amazon.com "Nashville don't like me, but I'd rather be / A fence post in Texas than the king of Tennessee." That's Chris Wall's mentality in a nutshell: scoffing at the sounds of Nashville, singing the praises of the Lone Star state, and wrapping it all in a world-weary blend of bruising honky-tonk and intelligent songwriting. Recorded in Gruene, Texas, on Independence Day, 1996--Texas Independence Day naturally--these 13 songs build on the Texas traditions of Clark, Walker, and Keen, adding a bit of punch to the prose. Texans such as Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis, Dale Watson, and Mary Cutrufello lend a hand on this appealing ode to "swinging doors and hardwood floors." --Marc Greilsamer Similar CDs

CD ReviewsLet 'er rip james w covington | Tallahassee | 01/21/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Terrific Texas Honky tonk like all his recordings. SOME SONGS RIP AND ROAR, SOME JUST RIP YOUR HEART OUT." Upbeat and fun to listen to with catchy lyrics! 05/22/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "The song "I feel like singin' along" has an upbeat pace similar to Hank Williams Jr style, and a hint of Merle Haggard with well-thought-out lyrics...I certainly like to sing along!! Even though I personally prefer upbeat tunes such as the above-mentioned, and "Runaway Cadillac", and many more, the song "Big in the Heart" seems truly from the heart, and is very enjoyable. I'm now a great fan of this artist! Jenneye Shugar drcoffee@kdi.com"
