Jim & Jesse have not always been a strictly Bluegrass band, but it’s been quite a while since they delved into the C & W scene, so this new album definitely comes as a surprise. Though they are vocally strong on this collection of mostly 4/4 "honky-tonk shuffle" songs, I have the suspicion that most of their long-time fans will be disappointed here. Jim & Jesse are thoroughly professional and would not tackle anything with less than first-class sidemen, but speaking for myself I would prefer to hear Ray Price and Buck Owens if I am going to listen to songs like WASTED WORDS, I’VE GOT A NEW HEARTACHE, HEARTACHES BY THE NUMBER & UNDER YOUR SPELL AGAIN. Some may love this, but I do suggest you hear it before purchasing.
