| Dwight RULES! | |
| This album is special to me because of the song " Nothing's Changed Here" is the first song I ever heard of Dwight. Since then, I've never had to listen to radio again (they don't play him enough) I love every song on this album. It's fitting he wrote a song with Roger Miller, who in my opinion was the best songwriter of his generation and Dwight is the greatest songwriter of this generation. I've bought every album of Dwight's and he never disappoints. If you like your music a little rough around the edges, you'll love Dwight's music. He ROCKS with the best of them. Dwight, keep it up. | |

| I haven't listened to country radio in almost ten years. Nashville has never been the source of much really great country music (I prefer the Texas branch, myself), but the 90's have been really barren of anything I really care to listen to. This is the first album of Dwight's that I have purchased, and as a long-time fan of Waylon, Tompal, and Billy Joe Shaver, this music has really spoken to me and it sure won't be my last. Dwight's style is all his own, and I for one am grateful that he hasn't bowed to the Nashville powers that be. I'd love to hear him sing with Billy Joe. He's the undisputed heir apparent of the Outlaw greats of the 70's and 80's. Keep it up Dwight, we love ya!!! | |
| A masterpiece from Dwight | |
| One of the signs of a truly great album is that most of the tracks could be considered for single release - this is one such album. Dwight demonstrates that he can rock hard but he also includes some outstanding ballads. He wrote or co-wrote most of the songs. Although Dwight has shown a liking for recording covers as well as originals in his career, there is only one cover here. The country hits were Turn it on turn me up turn me loose (a brilliant up-tempo song), You're the one (a nice love song), It only hurts when I cry (co-written with Roger Miller who is famous for King of the road), The heart that you own (an aching ballad) and Nothing's changed here. The first four make up the first four tracks on his greatest hits collection, Last chance for 1,000 years but Nothing's changed here is omitted. Apart from the hits (which aren't necessarily the best songs here), some of the highlights for me are Sad sad music (another aching ballad), Since I started drinking again (with a hint of bluegrass), Send a message to my heart (a duet with Patty Loveless that I really expected to be released as a single) and Let's work together (a cover of the blues-rock classic that became a huge hit for Canned heat). And if you play this album and find that your favorite song is one I haven't mentioned, that won't surprise me at all, such is the quality of this album. If you enjoy any of Dwight's music, you'll surely love this album. |
