This review is from: Your Trailer or Mine? (Audio CD)

The second CD by Washington, DC band Honky Tonk Confidential is a joyous showcase for some of the best alt-country singing and songwriting being done today. What a warm, beautifully focused voice Diana Quinn has, particularly on such numbers as "I Don't Believe in Angels" or "Daddy's in a Honky Tonk Downtown." Geff King's High Lonesome tenor sounds sensational whether the song is funny ("Rock Creek Crawl") or scary ("Check-Out Time"). And who couldn't respond to Mike Woods' rumbly good humor in "Goin' Round the World" or "Love My Baby All Night Long?" Quinn, Woods, and especially King are first-rate songwriters, and they supplement their efforts on "Your Trailer or Mine?" with some of the best songwriters you never heard of--Ken Harnage, Elena Skye, Buddy Woodward, Evan Johns, Fannie Zollicoffer, Tex Rubinowitz, etc. The production glistens, as does the playing, with drummer Dave Elliott and steel guitar player Bobby Martin making wonderful contributions. For me the highlight of the CD is "Pee-Wee's Gone," King's lament for a fallen comedy star. I can't decide whether Pee-Wee Herman should sue or use this song for his comeback--maybe both!
