“Honky Tonk Blues”- We come to the first country music entry thus. This single came labeled on CEMA Special Markets with the words “For Jukeboxes Only!” Ha. I wondered what happened to those things. They end up in random collections. My first thought, Whoa. The speed of this Hank Williams, Sr. cover is goofy. It sounds like a warm-up. These lyrics do not need such pretty backups. The original laments God and these fellows turn it passé gracefully. Way to remove all emotion and objectivity while missing the heart and striking the wallet. This is what will play in the elevator on the decent to hell.
“Anything Goes”- Very well… This song is slow. The guitar solo collapses on itself. The lyrics state the obvious, like, “Nobody knows all the answers, everybody walks a different road”. I was curious, so I looked up this band. They are very popular and this album has great ratings. Country music is not finicky- It allows the 90’s recordings to sound like every era post and prior.
