Description

Aaron Watson is the real deal, singing honky tonk, rockabilly and western swing like he really means it. His music is pure Austin, TX, and Nashville be danged. The upbeat opener sets the tone for the whole set, "I Don't Want You to Go (But I Need You to Leave)". The humorous lyrics capture the dilemma of a man attached to a woman he can't handle.

Most of the songs are about relationships in one stage of difficulty or another. A favorite is the guilt-laden waltz "Notel Motel." Another is the regretful "Wish I Could Say I'd Been Drinking." The real heart breakers are the road song, "Lonely Lubbockmore… Lights," and the divorced man's lament, "Off the Record." A comic song of desire over reason is the wry "Wrangler Butts," the only song I've ever heard in praise of male posteriors in a particular brand of jeans.

There's lots more, including a great western swing song "Something With a Swing To It" and a darkly soulful song that comes close to social protest, "Kentucky Coal Miner's Prayer." Watson writes his own material and for a young performer has a well developed talent. You can dance to his songs, like he says, but it's hard to shut up when you know enough of the words to sing along.
