In the classic traditional tone of George Jones and Ray Price comes guitarist and Johnny Cash - inspired Jim Blackie. Jim's brand of country is a throwback to the era when cross-over country more described the haphazard driving after a Gilley's trip. The music is pure and right
- and certainly not in need of verilight stage shows and bare chested dancers. We are satisfied to have Jim stand by a mike and do his crooning. The opening track,I Don't Need You Baby,is our favorite - listen - the song sets the tone of the rest of the record with a heart-felt song with the genesis of painful rejection. The melody line is butter to the ears. Track 4, We All Need Love,continues the in-the-pocket format Blackie pushes here with sincerity. A solo nylon guitar line supports Jim's vocals.The New Cell Phone Blues, is as contemporary 1-4-5 topic as you'll hear. Track 7, complete with tape delay on voice, is Tribute To Johnny. This is a great country record for anyone who appreciates great songwriting, performance, and the foundation of the genre.
