I think that bruce is one of the best singer/songwriters today. His song "Tonite" totally relates and takes me back to high school when I truly didn't want to go home because ANYTHING might of happened that night. Everytime I listen to that song, I go back to when every weekend me and my buddies would round up and get one of our older brothers to buy us beer and we'd head out to a pumpjack, and just hangout with the radio blarin' and just drink under the West Texas sky. If you haven't already, listen to the live version his brother Charlie sings live from Gruene Hall. He paints the picture so perfectly...one of the best songs ever written.

If you're reading this and you liked this album or anything on this site, I encourage you to take a few minutes and write one yourself. Also support your opinion with something besides how you feel. For once think about what you're about to say before you write it down. I noticed that Bruce had only a couple of reviews for this album, and Cross Canadian had 124 for one of their CD's. Something about that isn't right when Bruce writes about reality and dealing with everyday situations and CCR sings poorly about wanting to be president. I'm getting slightly off track here so this is what I think about Bruce. Absolutely fantastic. This album truly plays with your emotions. From the light hearted "Devil may care," to the suddenly sobering "Sixteen," Bruce delivers another 11 reasons to love and respect this man's gift. For the common collector of Texas Singer Songwriter this album may seem to be boring, certainly not as mindless as the majority of singer/songwriter efforts today. Bruce actually has something to say, and for those of us who aren't content with the same ol thing, we're all ears.

Another excellent album by this great songwriter/musician. "What would Willie Do" is my new philosophy for life.

Truely a masterpiece. Kelly Willis' accompaniment is icing on the cake.
