Even better than the first one
Can the Hollisters save country music? This disc says "yes." Where their first effort was a strong dose of country traditionalism, this second outing ranges further afield while still keeping its feet firmly planted in the rural tradition that makes the Hollisters so refreshing. Mike Barfield's voice reminds you of a young Johnny Cash and on tracks like "Sugar Land" his tone is as black as Cash's outfits. At the same time, the band provides lighter material about the truly important things in life ("Fishin' Man"), the joys of freedom ("Tonkin'"), and the almost mandatory drinking, crying-in-your-beer song ("Drinking for Two"). Country music doesn't get much better than this. The Hollisters hearken back to tradition but are growing into a true original.

Good Driving Music
This is the type of music that makes one want to put it in the CD player, put the top down and drive. Honest to goodness Texas music. A clear and clean recording. Will make it a point to see them when out that way. Recommended to anyone regardless of music taste. Lyrics clean and understandabel.

Hollisters have another winner!
I don't know what album I like better - their 1st or 2nd. The 2nd album is different but in a very good way. This is an album that you could play again and again and never get tired of listening to. We discovered them a year ago in a bar in Dallas and just saw them again at the same bar. They are one of those bands that sound the same in person as they do on the album. This is a must-buy album!
