Road Less Travelled - Kevin Yost

Advantages: Another great CD from George Strait
Disadvantages: Not enough tracks

...This is yet another great album from George Strait. The CD has ten tracks which after playing a couple of times you will find yourself singing along to.

Punchy horns and impassioned vocals were not the norm at a time when punk was king and Two-Tone was the prince. But Geno wasn't their first single. Dance Stance, renamed Burn It Down on this album, was a celebration of Irishness long before Too Rye Aye. Name-checking a host of writers, philosophers and poets to the sound of a fat horn riff, it should have been their first Number One. Tell Me When My Light Turns Green is another slice of horn-led brilliance, whilst The Teams That Meet In Caffs is an intrumental worthy... Read review
