I am so used to listening to punk albums that this came across as cutesy. I suppose Nelson isn't too bad as far as country music singers go but I was still waiting for this to be over, especially when "Unchained Melody" came on. According to Wikipedia, this song has been covered hundreds of times. Can we all let it die? There is a pun in there with "Ghost" somewhere.
So yes, this was a rather typical country album, with plenty of reminiscing; hell, there is even a song dedicated to a southern state. Most of these songs seem to be covers though but I am not that impressed with his vocals to call this a home run anyway.
Still, not a bad way to pass the time. At least the lyrics weren't horribly offensive, which is a positive that we must celebrate on this blog.
RATING: 3/5
