Hang on! After the title track storms out of the chute like a bucking bronco+ Jesse Dayton takes listeners on a wild ride across roadhouse country. He swaggers his way through "Tall Walkin" Texas Trash" as if channeling the cocksure spirit of Waylon Jennings (with whom Dayton recorded as a guitarist) and conjures the border cantina atmospherics of Doug Sahm on the accordion-laced "All Because of You" and "Moravia." The album takes a detour with a revival of the Cars" "Just What I Needed+" rearranged for fiddle and steel guitar. Best of all is the down-home soul of "Ain"t Grace Amazing." Riley Osbourn"s keyboards and Carolyn Wonderland"s backing vocals add a bluesy strain+ while the horn charts on "It Won"t Always Be Like This" and "Just to Get You Off My Mind" sound more Memphis than Nashville. With some down-and-dirty guitar powering "Talkin" Bobby Dale"s Hard Luck Blues+" the album never loses its reckless energy nor compromises its independent spirit. <I>--Don McLeese</I>
