Well-crafted new country

"I sure do appreciate a writer who knows how to craft a good song, and this fella has got the goods. One of the legions of songwriters who feed the Nashville machine, Camp has provided hits for the likes of Garth Brooks, John Anderson and Randy Travis, and even made a record or two himself, back in the early '90s. He tilts towards the traditional end of the spectrum, and is a soulful, appealing vocalist, working in a fairly alt-y, old-school style. The whole record is pretty good, but one song, "Tune Of The Twenty Dollar Bill," stands out as a real gem. A compact little story-song (of courtship back in the good old days), this is a catchy, thoroughly enjoyable, tune, and really quite memorable. Well worth checking out."

A Modern Classic

"I am a huge fan who cannot fathom why great talents like Shawn Camp go unnoticed. This album was the best country album I heard last year. This album comes closer to his live sound so much more so than his first album. See him live if you can and spread the word. But definately buy this album you won't regret it."
