Query: Don't Go For the Hype

If the alt.country genre is going this way - count me out. This CD is filled with cliched lyrics, over production, unexciting playing and overall comes across as bland schlock. Think late 70's Poco. I've seen Shurman written up as the next Son Volt - how anyone would make the comparison is beyond me. Amazon tells you to also consider Ryan Adams - it's fitting because he's putting out the same kind of garbage now.Go out and by a Richmond Fontaine or Drag the River disc.
