As the latest honky-tonk revivalist to emerge from Nashville, Eric Heatherly sounds

like more of a rebel and less of a retro novelty than BR5-49. He brings a rockabilly

swagger to roadhouse shuffles such as "Someone Else's Cadillac" and "Wrong Five O'

Clock," while his falsetto-laced balladry on the title track has an otherworldly

dreaminess to it. Produced by Keith Stegall, this cocksure debut presents Heatherly as

the complete package: a videogenic singer who had a hand in writing every song but the

first single--a revival of the Statler Brothers' "Flowers on the Wall"--and plays a lead

guitar that echoes classic Creedence and Neil Young. At a time when mainstream country

is flooding for direction, Heatherly seems to know exactly where he's going.--Don McLeese
