Sharp songwriting, good performances all around and the confidence of several decades singing real country stuff for real country fans. The songs alternate between uptempo tunes and sometimes-creaky slower songs; I prefer the fast numbers, and this album includes several of gems: "A Two-Step Away," the cajun-flavored "Down To Louisiana," "The Likes Of Me," and the honkytonk weeper, "I'm Not That Kind Of Guy." Lots of variety, too, from shuffles and western swing to cajun, Tex-Mex and roadhouse, all played with authority and ease... An exemplary Texas indie set.
One of my favorite Texas indiebilly old-timers, tunesmith Gary P. Nunn is like some dusty old bottle of whiskey or wine that got lost on a cattle drive a hundred years ago and keeps getting better and stronger every year... He started out in the Lost Gonzo Band, who backed stonerbilly legend Jerry Jeff Walker in his early-1970s glory days, while also recording a few albums under their own name. Nunn went on to an off-the-radar solo career, releasing some of the finest independent music in the Lone Star State. Here's a quick look at his work...
