Check Our Catalog“The raw emotion and barely controlled heartache that Johnson brings to his singing and songwriting on the album aren’t exactly in style in 2008′s country market, but lovers of old-fashioned hardcore country and honky tonk music will be stunned by its emotional depth and strong melodies. Most modern country singers flounder when they try to put across a ballad, often loading down the lyric with sentimentality rather than real feeling. On an album that’s almost exclusively ballads, Johnson never falls into that trap. The songs are full of keen insights, clever turns of phrase, and real emotion.”—All Music Guide
