That's not surprising, 'cuz it sounds like he's left country music behind
-- it's Radney's "adult rock" record, and no doubt the plans are to work
it to AAA radio. Who knows, they might even like it -- it's certainly
bland enough. I've tried to listen to it a coupla times, and have yet
to find a memorable tune. It definitely has that nondescript, vaguely
rootsy sound favored by the adult rock crowd, and there's even a duet with
the equally nondescript Abra Moore. I'm not sure if I'm the one to ask
about it though, 'cuz most music of that ilk bores me -- as rock music,
it's too tame, too polite, and too sterile, and as roots music it's pretty
rootless.--don
