Well, Rex and the Boys play emo in it's most pure and classic form; hardcore honky-tonk heartbreak. With Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam's right hand man) at the controls for this release, they deliver their most perfect polished effort to date.
 

CD Reviews

Outstanding old-fashioned honky-tonk music!
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 09/25/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Rex Hobart is one of the most seriously underrated country artists around today, and this may be his single best album to date. This is solid, well-crafted honkytonk music like they used to make in the late 1950s, with instrumental and vocal performances that are all simply top-rate. Hobart is too indie for the Nashville studions, and probably too serious and too straightforward a musician to be embraced by the irony-addicted alt-country hipster crowd... which is a real shame, 'cause he is really, really talented. Kudos to Bloodshot Records for giving this guy a chance to grow... all three of his albums are great, this one is the best."
