Vintage honky tonk brought fully up to date with superbly expressive voices and tight playing (and some mean fiddling). Some classic covers (thank you Cindy Walker) and standout originals with great lyrics and singing. Easily among the best CDs I've bought this century! Try it and you'll like it!

I love this record! It is the best CD that I have purchased this year. It is a true celebration of the human heart in all of its beauty and ugliness...the fickle heart, the cheating heart, the lonesome heart, the possessive heart, the broken heart, the evil heart, the vengeful heart etc. It effectively plays on honky tonk cliches like the therapeutic benefits and tragic consequences of whisky, the road and a smoking gun and makes them get into your soul like an irresistable pulp fiction novel. This music is hillbilly noir. Pour yourself a Maker's Mark, don your Stetson or fedora (either will do), grab a hold of your sweetheart and spin her across the dance floor. In this world of comparisons, think Patsy Cline collaborating with Tom Waits.

Buttercup makes want to laugh and cry at the same time, all the while my feet won't stop moving. In between all the drinkin, murder, and heartache there is a lot of soul. Congratulations to Buttercup on “Evil for You” my new favorite CD.
