5.0 out of 5 stars FRESH TEXAS TALENT, October 28, 2000

This review is from: Wide Afternoon (Audio CD)

I have only recently come to appreciate country music and I can say that Max Stalling is one of the most creative artists I have ever heard, regardless of the type of music. He blends great lyrics and spectacular music to achieve a sort of cross between George Strait and Robert Earl Keene, although his voice is much more on par with Strait (no offense Bob). On songs like "Runnin' Buddy" and "Travelin' Lite" you cannot help but tap your feet as Max and his band deliver two of the greatest country songs ever written. On "Bass Run" he adds a Mexican flare with the his lead guitarist (an extremely talented musician in his own right) delivering the south of the border sound. I could go on and on about every song on this album because there truly is not a bad one. This album is better than his first and he is showing that he has a lyrical and musical repertoire that is full of new and creative ideas. There really are no slow country ballads on this album, which to me is the typical sign that a country singer has run out of ideas. This album is upbeat and just all around a good listen for anytime. Songs like "Dimebox,TX" and "These Reminders" are his own transformation of the stereo-typical ballads, yet Max does them in a way that is anything but typical. Being from Texas and knowing all of his allusions just makes it that much better. If you are at all interested in good music you really should buy this album, no matter where you live. I guarantee that you will be a big fan.

Do not buy this CD for $99.00. If you want a new CD buy it for $14.99 on this website. These sellers are trying to rip you off!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is REAL Country, November 18, 2002

Tired of Shania, Faith, and the other Pop Country? Try a real test of where country should have evolved. Stallings represents the best of the new country singers/songwriters. This genre, rooted in the realities of what country life is all about, might be labeled as "Texas" country. In fact it touches the soul of real country.
Try it. You'll like it.
