was more successful than
two previous albums and it's easy to see why. Though the record still suffered from a handful of mediocre songs and a slightly soft production, the overall album was leaner and more direct than
earlier solo work, showcasing his talent for heartfelt honky tonk singing and his skill for crafting excellent barroom ballads.
"When You Say Nothing At All," and "I'm No Stranger to the Rain" were the hits, but there's a wealth of excellent material here, including a haunting version of
"I Never Go Around Mirrors." The sheer strength of the best numbers make the handful of weaker songs perfectly excusable. After all, country in the late '80s rarely got better than
at its best. ~ Thom Owens
