Well crafted songs that carry the artist's passion yet touch my politically tormented soul. The listener can feel Jeff's self-loathing over the imposed American imperialist brand in the tortured "Bunker Buster," "Deep East," and "No End." But, there is something delicate he conveys through his internal conflict -- perhaps its musician vs. lawyer or celibacy vs. promiscuity which is reflected throughout the album (i.e. "You Never," "Si No," and "Word, Dog") -- the paradoxical lyrics combined with sultry tones and a brash arrogance makes this a must listen for all Texas music lovers. On his next album, I would like to see him bring this personal angst and alcohol-soaked voice to a piano rather than guitar.

I love this guy. Jeff writes from the heart in many of these modern classics. I can hear the wisdom in his voice on songs like "You Never" and "Too Drunk." I'm not sure where he got the inspiration for "Work, Dog," since it doesn't have that same comfortable feeling as some of the others. This album is a must for any Texas-born, laid-back, beer drinkin', man or woman. If you love Willie, Jerry Jeff, or Kinky Friedman, you gotta get this!
