Damn right! This is what country music should sound like. The reason it is called outlaw country, honky tonk, Americana, etc. is because the name “country” has been hijacked by people who wouldn’t know what country music was if they heard it on the radio. Consequently, they will never hear it on the radio because the same people also control the airwaves. How convenient. All is not lost, the glass is half full, if not a bit more than half.
Trends may come and go in music but one thing is for certain: Whitney’s voice is one of the best. She can sing and do more than honky tonk, although she tackles honky tonk like a linebacker. Whitney hits about six genres on Rule 62. Classic country, honky tonk, rhythm and blues, folk, blues, and ’50s rock and roll are all sung prominently. I forgot Tejano, that makes seven. Whitney not only sings these, she takes them up several levels.
A life can be compared to a jigsaw puzzle. Each odd shaped piece of a different size represents a decision, choice, or life event. It is our job as humans to fit those pieces together to create something that resembles a beautiful picture.

Paul’s puzzle already resembles a portrait of the Grand Tetons, majestic and fairly complete. (more…)
It has been six years since the last Hellbound Glory release, Damaged Goods. All I can ask is, what took you so long? Well, good things come to those who wait, so it has been written. I am going to have to agree with that proverb, because everything I hear off Pinball is great. The fellas still have it after six years, good news!(more…)
