First, I'd like to thank Neil for finally consenting to re-release this album. It's still hard for me to believe that I'm holding it in my hand. This has been a favorite of mine since it first came out. The album kicks off with a gentle waltz. "The Old Country Waltz" is a classic crying in your beer weeper about the demise of a relationship. "Saddle Up The Palomino" plugs in, while name dropping "Carmelita, the daughter of the wealthy banker" and Neil's horse Melody. "It's a cold bowl of chili when love lets you down and it's the neighbor's wife I'm after". "Hey Babe" is a pretty love song with just the right amount of pedal steel and violin thrown in. "Hold Back The Tears reverts back to the subject of lost love. The difference is this time Neil urges the person he's comforting to "keep on trying, just around the next corner may be waiting your true love". "Bite The Bullet" does away with love in favor of lust. Plugged in again, Neil sings "she's a rockin love machine, I like to make her scream when I bite the bullet". You can just use your imagination there. "Star of Bethelehem" features a pretty guest turn from Emmylou Harris. "Will To Love" is just Neil and his guitar, the only classic love song I can think of with salmon in it. I could be wrong. Everybody knows the next one. "Like A Hurricane" is a demented guitar freakout that shows why Neil is always mentioned when the subject of greatest rock and roll guitar players comes up. We end with "Homegrown" which might be a tribute to tomatoes like the Guy Clark song "Homegrown Tomatoes" but I doubt it. I think we're talking herb garden here. Go out and buy this sucker. Much has been made about Neil's influence on the grunge scene of the early 1990's. Very few mention the fact that his forays into "power twang" pre-date the entire "No Depression" movement.
