Album Notes & Community Reviews

Rejecting the synthesized pop-crossover trends of the era, the Texan traditionalist delivers a pure, unadulterated collection of western swing and heartfelt honky-tonk ballads. The platinum-selling record, anchored by the classic 'The Chair', solidified his position as the premier voice of the neo-traditional country movement.
