Damon is a heck of a songwriter. After hearing all these songs live so many times -- played with his minimalist trio sound, or even solo -- it was a bit odd to hear them with full instrumentation. Odd but not bad. His voice is big. His guitar picking is excellent. His songs are superb.

Forget alt-country, and forget the [stuff] coming out of Nashville--this is what country music is supposed to sound like. Great guitar picking, a fantastic voice (at times reminiscent of Cash), and really solid lyrics. It's a pleasant surprise to find a country musician equally adept at songwriting, playing guitar and singing his own songs. This one's all original too, folks. Kelly Willis has already recorded one of Damon's songs, and I have a feeling a lot of other "country" artists will do the same soon; but take my advice and get it from the source. You'll be glad you did.

This CD is pure original country. The songs such as "Tear Him Down" and "Heaven Bound" are gems. My favorite is "Waiting for the Mail". Give this CD a chance and get a real taste of Austin.

This is a trainwreck. Talk about no talent. Thank god I heard this garbage on mp3 and didn't actually pay for it. This guy might sell 2 copies if he buys his own double album. Wow this SUCKS

No, I have not listened to the entire album. But I will say this. I was born, raised, and still currently live in Champaign, Illinois. And I am deeply offended by the song on the album. Has Damon ever been up here? Sure it's a small town and sure we'd all love to get our hands on a small town girl. But there are not any bars down the street from any houses. The city ordinances wouldn't allow it. And yes there is such thing as family here. Where does he get the idea that there isn't? We are not some run down town. We have a great University. Oh, and by the way, no whorehouses here. I've been here 21 years and never seen one. So, Mr. Bramblett, before you write a song about a geographical location, make sure you visit the location first. This isn't Texas.
