Free Music Review: Dale Watson might be the best honky-tonker of all time
Hit: 5 Stars

Dale Watson is so good it's astonishing. His singing is as rich, soulful, and well, "country" as any of the influences that he so freely and proudly acknowledges (Merle, Johnny, Lefty, etc.). Dale is proud to be carrying on an American musical tradition as deep and important as jazz, rock or blues. Thank goodness we have such a powerful personality with such musical gifts to carry on the tradition. He's certainly not the only singer carrying on the tradition but he's the best for sure. No one comes close.
As for his songs, they are fabulous. Intellingent, heart-felt lyrics that can be heart-wrenching one minute and hilarious the next. Dale's songs are firmly within the country tradition (Dale might not like the "country" label at all- but that's another story) while being unique at the same time. You know you've heard those chord changes or that steel intro somewhere, but it doesn't matter at all, and within seconds you know you're listening to a new classic, not a copy.
Buy this and every other Dale Watson CD you can get your hands on.

From the Cradle to the Grave Poster

Though Dale Watson has long been a torchbearer for classic country, a throwback to the sounds of the 1960s and '70s, never before has he channeled so much inspiration from the late Johnny Cash. Recorded in Cash's cabin (since bought by Watson's actor buddy Johnny Knoxville), the songs really heavily on Cash's signature "boom-chicka-boom" rhythm, and the arrangements occasionally employ the sort of mariachi brass that evokes "Ring of Fire." Themes of life and death permeate the material. The title cut could have been a Cash outtake, while the "Runaway Train" finale pays him explicit tribute. Elsewhere, Watson changes pace by injecting some Waylon Jennings into "You Always Get What You Always Got," and lightening things up with "Hollywood Hillbilly." Watson's baritone and band are in fine form throughout. --Don McLeese
