Synopsis

Amazon.com

His throbbing, operatic voice and hard shuffles--not to mention his seemingly intimate knowledge of the contours of a barstool--have long made Johnny Bush the king of the Texas dance halls, and this record plays to those strengths. He booms out big ballads ("When It's Your Turn to Fall") and swings smartly ("Maybe, Maybe Not"). He not only provides a heartbreaking version of the 1962 Jim Reeves hit "Pride Goes Before a Fall," but follows it with an obscure, equally strong "answer" song, "So This Is the Fall (That Pride Goes Before)." Mix in some classic country wisdom in "Hands Can Say a Lot Beneath the Table," a hanging ballad in "They're Hanging Me Tonight," and a swinging throwback in Cornell Hurd's "Home to Texas," and you've got a rock-solid album that's neither retro not alt, but will teach lessons to fans of both while pleasing the old-line country fan too. --John Morthland

CD Reviews

Honky Tonk Heaven

P. Pope | Lubbock, TX USA | 02/25/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great album that really highlights the talent of Johnny Bush. The songs are pure, honest honky tonk. The title track is the best on the album, with "They're Hanging Me Tonight" right behind. The emotion and imagery in these songs are remarkable. Other songs are a throwback to the days of Ray Price and Saturday nights spent on a sawdust floor. Johnny Bush proves once again, that he is one of Texas' premier storytellers and honky tonk singers."

An incredible CD

James L. Bumbalo | 10/12/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Only one review of this amazing honky tonk CD? Where are all the fans of REAL country music? This is Johnny Bush's masterpiece. No one, but no one--not even George Jones--can sing a honky tonk song like Johnny. He is the voice of country music. Standouts on this CD are "They're Hanging Me Tonight," the haunting "Lost Highway Saloon," and the heartbreaking cover of T. Graham Brown's "Water Into Wine.""
