Such a great album! Dustin Perkins is a one of a kind kinda dude.
Always been a McBride fan - as a person, a PBR legend and musically. While not an off-the-charts talent, he has a solid Texas sound, influenced by traditional sounds. The only reason I only gave this three stars was the quality of recording. I expected a better sound board from Billy Bob's (like other CDs I own). This was almost as if I recorded it myself.
Where do I begin? Really tight production qualities...great musicianship...literate, humorous and sensitive lyrics...catchy tunes that stick with you...and probably the BEST country album I've heard in years! Buy this and savor every note and nuance. You will get in on the ground floor of this man's brilliant career. Enjoy!!!
Zane Williams has exceeded all expectations with this latest album. You won't find any kazoo solos, bagpipes, record-scratching or techno-mixes here, but you will be treated to one of the best songwriters in country music today. And while some think of Zane as a songwriter first, I tend to appreciate his vocal command equally as well. He has a smooth, yet authoritative quality in his voice that makes the words clear and easily understood. Nowhere is this more apparent than on a song like "Damned," which has quickly become one of my favorites. As a songwriter, Zane has a way of interpreting the simplest things in life and turning them into beautiful music that we can all relate to. Buy the album, you won't be disappointed.
Typical Jason Boland....every CD is better than the last one. Why we don't see him on the CMA's I don't understand.

Some tracks hit you like a hammer. All of them are awesome. Stand-out tracks - in my opinion - Ft. Worthless and Nightfall. Listen to it and buy it.
The Great Controversy is an epic album. Javi has breathed a breath of fresh air into the "Texas Music" scene. The Great Controversy is sure to go down in the pages of music history as being a standard of art perfection. I couldn't imagine not owning a copy for myself.
Javi is one our greatest songwriters. This album keeps true to his sound and character. Awesome and REAL!
