The title track itself could easily have fallen off of Merle Haggard's pickup truck, and in a similar spirit, the churning roadhouse romp "Honk if You Honky Tonk" would sound equally at home on a George Jones record. Strait is an interpreter (and a fine one), not a writer, and he taps some of the hippest songmen in the country game (including Jim Lauderdale, Bruce Robison, and Monte Warden) for the uniformly high-quality material to which he lends his lungs here. "Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa" could be a country cousin of Tom T. Hall's classic "That's How I Got To Memphis," and the clever "Four Down and Twelve Across" explores that long-standing overlap between country and soul. Strait is a lifetime resident of HONKYTONKVILLE, but anyone who loves tradition-minded country is invited for a visit.

its like t.harris said 3 black guys playing some good ol' punk rock its awesome, bought this cd a while ago and it is constantly enjoyable best song by far is old man samsong if i ever go to a show (im in Missouri) ppl wont be surprised that im there lol.

just my two cents

Whole Wheat Bread is an okay band on cd. They play mediocre skate-punk for the most part, with a few rap songs. I'd recommend seein them live over getting the cd though, they are much more exciting live. One thing that bothers me as a ska fan is how many people tagged them as ska...and the kid who said everyone was skanking at the show. WWB is not by any stretch of the imagination a ska band. I'm pretty sure they don't have a single ska song. If you are planning on buying this cd I hope you realize that it's a punk cd, not ska at all.

I saw these guys earlier this year in Jacksonville (where they're from) when they where touring with Tsunami Bomb (whom I've seen numerous times) and ...some other band -I think Lawrence Arms-, and they owned. They cram so much influence in their shows/music its fantabulously orgasmic. How many bands can get CRUNK, own the crowd with a riff-tastic punk song, have freestyle rap battles between songs, and beat out Tsunami Bomb (sorry, Agent M) for best band of the night? ...not many. These guys are some of the freshest dudes out there.

I love black guys.

I met this band in Florida during spring break and they are really cool guys. When they went on stage some people were confused and then the started playing and people were skanking everywhere. They and a fun band that will get you off your feet. I liked this cd but I would much rather see them live.

Hope you enjoy
