Country music album reviews from Holler.
Listeners averse to slick sounds will likely be put off by the gloss that defines this music, but underneath the candy-coating lives a band of remarkable agility.

This nuanced, lively project serves as a fine tribute to Anderson, and, for the uninitiated, a compelling introduction to his catalog.
Scott misses a golden opportunity to break new ground - though you can’t help but feel this was never his aim in the first place.
Raw, classic country storytelling with a pinch of the hard stuff.
