The second album by Arkansas` Salty Dogs continues the emulate the "Ghost of Buck, Spirit of Dwight" sound from their first album. Brad Williams`s songs are pure and honest as he effortlessly moves from country to gospel and back. The backing musicians, Bart Angel (drums), Mike Nelson (bass) and Nick Devlin (guitars and lap steel) are a terrific country band. The beauty of this album is it captures that same kind of magic Dwight Yoakam offered up 20 years ago and Owens long before him. The music is essentially rural, but not primitive. It is every man, but the folks in the big city can relate. Second time out and the Salty Dogs have again produced an excellent real country record. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Big Bender)
