Willie Heath Neal & His Cowboy Killers
(Headhunter-Cargo)
If yer hankerin' for a little boom-chicka-boom country music, Willie Heath
Neal is happy to oblige. A collection of originals (with some help from his
bandmates) is punctuated by a cover of "Guitar Town." Most appropriate, as
Steve Earle has become a poster boy for retro country music now that he's
kicked the smack and gotten back to making music. Neal has a great, throaty
voice that almost roars. His songs concern women, drinkin', cheatin', lyin'
and other sorts of pain that most men fall into without thinking. You know,
country music. Recorded so that it sounds like an old time Johnny Cash
album. A lot of echo in the studio, but still plenty of space between the
notes. Fits Neal's writing and personality perfectly. Most enjoyable. The
problem with a lot of modern country music is that it left the country and
moved to the suburbs. Neal takes the music back where it belongs, and does a
whale of a job while he's at it.
