The Jackson County Kills
Honky Tonk Beast
(Belt Drive Record Club)
To feel in your heart and guts Country this Real -- a music raised up by home-folks and against whose strains, tales of the cold hard facts of life are spun in unassuming candor -- it is necessary to have done some living. To have struggled your way through hardships and loves both agonizing and salvatory. Only then, as steel-guitar swayings and booted six-strings are befriended by dogged rhythms and drawls of common aspect, will you appreciate how magnificent Country can be when market subservience is kept outside the door.
