The music was great.A CD you can listen to over and over.They have a very distict sound. They are awsome
I don't think it's their best, but it's Blackhawk. They don't record often enough anyway. Once you love them, you want all you can get.
I'm not the biggest of country fans but I love this CD. It's really good. I like to define Blackhawk as "A man's band". Just about every song is well-produced. My favorite is "Ain't No Yesterday". If you have the greatest hits and want to add to your collection I suggest picking up this CD.
Although Blackhawk is one of my all time fav bands, this second album from their box isn't "strong enough" against it's other albums. The first five tracks, like "Big Guitar", "Like Their Ain't No Yesterday" and "Almost A Memory Now" are great calibre.
The best, being the roots-rock heavyweight "I'm Not Strong Enough To SAy No" make a great Blackhawk formulated song. An excellent one. The rest, like "Hook, Line And Sinker" or others after it are all almost boring cardboard. The lyrics in these last tracks are weak, and (no joke) cliche. Not dreadful, just a half-effort in the last half.
Other than that, it is a strong starter that didn't finish with better material.
Better try the awesome "Love And Gravity", or their self titled debut.
