Fire to Fire
Artist: Tanya Tucker

Considering that even at 13 years old, Tanya Tucker sounded like a world-weary adult, it's no surprise that in 1994, firmly ensconced in middle age, her vocals had gained a profound sense of life experience that few other singers of any genre can approach. Thankfully, on Fire to Fire Tucker doesn't even bother with the sort of boot-scootin'... Read More

Lonestar - BNA/BMG
Artist: Lonestar
Community Score: 4.50

The Texan group Lonestar's self-titled debut is an accomplished and impassioned hardcore honky tonk, drawing from such influences as Lefty Frizzell, George Jones, and Merle Haggard. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read More

Super Hits
Artist: Rodney Crowell

This brief set of Rodney Crowell's Columbia Records-era hits is essentially a truncated version of 1993's Greatest Hits, offering ten tracks to the former release's 12. There are some gems here, of course, including a pair of beautiful Crowell compositions, "It's Such a Small World" and "I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried," and the tenderly... Read More

Greatest Hits

Trouble with the Truth
Artist: Patty Loveless
Community Score: 9.80

The Trouble With The Truth, her third album after the turn and the followup to the CMA Album of the Year When Fallen... Read More

Live at Robert's EP
Artist: BR5-49

BR5-49 know where the gems are found when it comes to digging out old material. They gained their street rep by transforming Nashville's downtown honky tonk scene into a hopping place that draws a blend of punks, hipsters, frat kids, tourists, and drunks; with Live at Robert's, the band make their first major national move by providing a glimpse...

I Know a Place
Artist: Davis Daniel

Daniel Davis' third album, I Know A Place, is a breakthrough. For the first time, he's been able to convey the raw energy of his concerts on a recording and that frisky spark gives more dimension to his music. The material on the album remains inconsistent, however. Even though he has written several of the record's songs, Davis hasn't assembled... Read More

All Because of You
Artist: Daryle Singletary
Community Score: 10.00

Daryle Singletary's debut album was a fine slice of neo-traditional country, but his followup, All Because of You is even better, boasting a stronger set of songs -- such as the single "Amen Kinda Love" -- and a more confident performance by Singletary. There are still a couple of weak tracks, which suffer from underdeveloped songs or slick... Read More
