You’re killing me, Rick.

With prominent steel work by Chris Scruggs and Mike Daley throughout and vocal contributions from Rebecca Lynn Howard on a full half of the tracks…

Looks like you’ll have to order the album!

Even though I’m a huge fan of The Wrights and like Norah Jones and The Little Willies, this album just doesn’t excite my interest. The music is pleasant enough, and I really enjoy the styles of country music Derek covers, but it just doesn’t grab me. Although if I were to win say a free copy of this CD I likely wouldn’t trade it in….

PS – That gal in the picture sure looks like Rebecca Lynn Howard. Is “Jen Duke” Rebecca’s clone? If so, I’d like the contact information to place an order! (lol)

Good review, CM. It made me go on the MySpace and check him out. I liked what I heard – especially the title track.
