One could be forgiven for seeing Watson as the second coming of Merle Haggard. Not only does he look like a young Merle, but he employs both Haggard's virtuoso guitarist Red Volkaert and a sound based largely on the Hag's classic '60s recordings (the riff that opens "That's Pride" is practically a Haggard copyright). Watson may not hail from Bakersfield, but he's the prime '90s exponent of the country style associated with that California town. His supple baritone wraps itself convincingly around hardcore honky-tonk tunes with arrangements where every note counts. Crossover, for artists like Watson, is a dirty word.

Watson has a gift for the ironic tales of hard times and hard drinking that are essential to honky-tonk. The title tune finds him despondent over having to spin such a sorrowful yarn, while "Pity Party" is a gently self-mocking open invitation, where he asks all comers to gather around and witness his emotional downfall. A '90s singer who can declare "I love real country music, I love Texas, and I love my mama" as Watson does, with no hint of irony, is capable of carrying the honky-tonk tradition on into the 21st century.
