This is
Dodd's second release, and it is by far a better showing than his first CD,
One Ride in Vegas, which was too slick and too
pop-radio-ready. Produced again by
Blake Chancey and
Chip Young,
Dodd's sophomore effort displays a young man who obviously has some honk and twang he wants to share with the world.
Chancey, whose affinity for
traditional country & western music makes him a more knowledgeable producer in this arena, allows
Dodd to
honky tonk with the best of them. Hitting the nail on the head right from the start,
Dodd covers a distinctive
Jim Lauderdale number, a co-writen with
Clay Blaker,
"It's Only 'Cause You're Lonely." Dodd's own
"30-30," "Best I Ever Had," and the
Troy Jones tune
"John Roland Wood" all show
Dodd's talent as something of more substance. This release places
Dodd beyond the
pop-schlock
country world and gives him entrance into the real world of
country & western music. This could be the start of something good.
