CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description "Their so-retro-it's-fresh sound is a throwback to the storm of raw and rowdy outlaw country that rolled through Nashville in the early '70s." -- Detroit Free Press The roots of country music are despair, pain, sorrow, and anguish--feelings found in great abundance in the burnt-out ghost town of Flint, MI. With the classic themes of country music (drinking, prison, loving and leaving women) as the only options for the residents of Flint, Whitey and the boys have distilled the essence of country music into 150 proof melodies to help people forget their problems for a few hours. Look for them on the road this fall and remember: there are no flip-flops in country music, and there is no Margaritaville for outlaws. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsWhitey Morgan Molly1173 | Wyandotte MI | 11/11/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Not only a kick@$$ bunch of guys, but they put on a great show. The cd stands on its own - definitely consistent with their musicianship & live shows." Good, but not what I expected ! Sawney Beane | Glasgow | 01/10/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "Even though this album title say's honky tonk ,I was actually surprised how country it was, I think because it was released by small stone I was expecting something alot heavier. The best track on the album is "sinner" and there's an excellent cover version of Springsteen's "I'm on fire"." Return to Nashville 1975 Scooter | Indianapolis | 10/22/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Another great release from Smallstone Records returning us to the sounds of the 70's. This time instead of reminding us of Black Sabbath and Southern Rock, it's Nashville,TN and the height of outlaw country. If you like the sounds of Johnny (Cash), Merle, Waylon, Willie and the boys then this cd is for you. I heard many albums that a flavor of classic country but this album would fit on any mid-70's country radio play list. Pure and simple this harkens back to day when country actually sounded country. Enjoy"
