Tommy Alverson fiercely hews to the time-honored Texas country music tradition—a little swing, a little twang, a lot of heart. He’s a mentor, producer, festival promoter, songwriter and singer who takes responsibility for keeping boot marks on the honky-tonk hardwood floor. This fourteen track disc features full–band versions of Alverson originals, (“Second Hand Love”, a reprise of “Texas Woman”) plus tunes by Doug Sahm (“Be Real”), Jim Lauderdale (“I’ll Still Be Around”), Mickey Newbury & Doug Gilmore (“She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye”), Brian Burns (“Upside Down”), and Roy & Jerri Lynn Robinson (“This Buzz is for You”).|BUZZ MCCLAIN, No Depression Magazine.| |
