The centerpiece track to Doug Alan's debut album is "Minutemen," a rousing salute to a group that President George W. Bush dubbed "vigilantes" in 2005. Alan's favorable lyrics posit the group as a vital and integral part of America's homeland security in the fight against terrorism, though the song never really explains how tattling on illegal immigrants crossing the Arizona/Mexico border fits in with the fight against al Qaeda. Musically, the song is more than a little reminiscent of "The Ballad of the Green Berets," and it's sung in a voice that sounds at first like some kind of deadpan parody of former late-night TV commercial mainstay Slim Whitman's baritone yodel. Then, when listening to the rest of Sun, Surf and Sand, it becomes clear that this bizarre, mannered croon is simply how Alan sings. The other songs are considerably less creepy than "Minutemen," but unfortunately, they're also dead boring. Apparently, Alan never heard a country music cliché he didn't immediately incorporate into his own music, and the onslaught of tired topics, forced rhymes, and dull, twangy melodies overpowers the listener by album's end. There are literally hundreds of terrific independent country albums released every year. Sun, Surf and Sand is definitely not one of them. ~ Stewart Mason

With most contemporary country artists, you could guarantee that a song called "American Ride" would be a slice of jingoism, but Toby Keith isn't like most country singers. His "American Ride" casts a cynical eye at desperate housewives and wannabe pop stars, not celebrating down-home values but wondering where we're all headed on this American Ride at the end of the 2000s, a sentiment not all that far removed from some of Keith's previous social commentary, which makes it a mild surprise that it is the only song here that doesn't come from his own pen. As superb ...

Pappy Dailey's homegrown, Houston, Texas label that rose from the ashes of his Starday tie-in was D, a label that issued everything from rockabilly, to Mexican dance music, to the stray doo-wop side. What it generally excelled at was top-notch local hillbilly and country bands and singers, sometimes leasing home grown masters from places as far away as Canada. These are records full of raw, visceral power, unvarnished beauty and often glimpses of talent that could-have-been alongside the local heroes and run-of-the-mill Joes hoping for a break. As such, it's a marvelous document of primarily Texas country and western music in the marketplace in the late '50s. This four-disc Bear Family set is the second entry into a multi-volume complete run of all the singles that were issued on Dailey's D label, with the added bonus on this volume of some unissued material that's as good or better than the singles that were issued. Kicking off Disc One are three perfect examples of that emanating from the Utah Carl session that produced his single from Volume One. Here, he and his regular working band deliver heartfelt and straightforward and welcome additions to the man's scant discography. Almost a third of the 29 tracks are previously unissued items from Merl Lindsay, Ted Doyle, Doug Bragg and Detroit hillbilly, Billy Martin. Of course, just when you think you have the label pegged as strictly one thing or another, up pops successive single runs by Eddie Burke (Black boogie woogie piano man), Rufus Thibodeaux (Cajun fiddler), Ward Allen (Canadian old-time fiddler), Dee Mullin (country pop-rock), Homer Lee Sewell (old time cowboy singing) and Gaston Ponce Castellanos (Mexican dance band)! ...

Recorded in Dallas and El Paso, Texas between 1922 and 1929. Includes liner notes by Christopher C. King. These early recordings of Texas string band music feature a number of fiddlers and fiddling styles. Prince Albert Hunt's Texas Ramblers cut loose on "Blues in a Bottle," the "Huston Slide," and "Wake Up Jacob." Hunt had the distinction of recording a number of sides in his bluesy style before meeting an early demise at the hands of a jealous husband. Fiddlers Eck Robertson and Henry Gilliland traveled all the way to New York for the honor of being the first country artists to be recorded on June 22, 1922. While showing its age with scratches and a bit of surface noise, "Arkansas Traveler" retains the same verve ...

On THE ROAD GOES ON FOREVER, four venerable veterans emphatically prove that experience, talent, and strong material add up to a potent combination. The Highwaymen have few peers not only because each is a country music living legend, but because this quartet has lived its songs; they have turned the gravel to dust by endlessly riding down the roads they sing about. Combining the songbooks of the four main participants with some tasty choices by outside ...
