Stronger Proof (Audio CD),05 October, 2004
List price $15.98
Fine album of polished honky tonk / 4
Lucky Dog's loss continues to be Dualtone's gain as the roster of Sony's former imprint follows a migratory path to the Nashville indie. Joining recent releases by BR549 and Charlie Robison, Dodd's latest shows the greatest leap forward. His previous LP, 2002's "Pearl Snaps," was something of a comeback effort, regaining his musical footing after a crippling bout of viral encephalitis. This time out he leans even more heavily on twangy two-steppers, with plenty of fiddle, steel and honky-tonk piano.
Having returned to Texas, Dodd's brought a bit of his Nashville polish with him, but like many who temped on Lucky Dog, he pairs commercial edgings with a heart-and-soul that retains its roots. The opener, "Never Again," hits the ground running with a Bakersfield shuffle that features a terrific walking bass line from the band's newest member, Kerry Wilson. The mid-tempo title track reworks classic tear-in-your-beer themes with some clever wordplay, and Dodd adds a sly edge to the Kenny Rogers hit, "Love or Something Like It."
When Dodd stays up-tempo, he rocks in the Texas style of Jack Ingram and Pat Green, but when he slows down for tunes like "Outside Lookin' In" and "She Does the Best She Can," he drifts to the middle of the road. The exception is the closer, "The Crowd," a heartfelt ode that nicely captures the bond between Texas musicians and their fans. Those who've followed Dodd's career, or simply like the roadhouse music of the Lone Star state will enjoy this one.
3-3/4 stars, if allowed fractional ratings.
Song "It’s Only ’Cause You’re Lonely"
It's only 'cause you're lonely, that you're wanting me
I'm just a way to get you through your misery
You don't need my love, I know you'll let me down
It's only 'cause you're lonely that you're comin' 'round
Girl, you're telling me
That he set you free
But that's nothing new
To a heart that's never true
What makes you think you can come running back so easily
It's only 'cause you're lonely, that you're wanting me
I'm just a way to get you through your misery
You don't need my love, I know you'll let me down
It's only 'cause you're lonely that you're comin' 'round
You say it just ain't right
To sleep alone at night
And how much you have missed
A lover's tender kiss
When will you understand my heart is free at last
It's only 'cause you're lonely, that you're wanting me
I'm just a way to get you through your misery
You don't need my love, I know you'll let me down
It's only 'cause you're lonely that you're comin' 'round
It's only 'cause you're lonely that you're comin' 'round
