Your Favorite Fool

Reseña del editor This album scoots and swings, swoons and sighs, and leaves a greasy $20 bill on the bar as a tip. Perfect music to keep time to by banging a longneck on the bar. Features Kelly Hogan on the wicked George Jones duet "Golden Ring" "The Misery Boys have crafted a timeless sound - straight, hard country that exposes the broken hearts in all of us." Tienda Sure, you've heard it before: the twangy Telecaster leads, the whining steel guitar licks, the clever Harlan Howard-style lyrics, the woeful Merle-meets-Buck vocals. But Rex Hobart and the Misery Boys do it all so well, you have to cut them some slack for their retro ways. Besides, Rex and his boys--steel guitarist Solomon Hofer, lead guitarist J.B. Morris, bassist Blackjack Snow, and drummer T.C. Dobbs--never try to be anything more than they are: a damn fine honky-tonk band delightfully out of step with contemporary country music. Produced by Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam), Your Favorite Fool hits you like a double shot of whiskey with its 10 songs--all but one written by Hobart himself--about pain, suffering, lying, and cheating. The titles alone explain where Hobart is coming from: "You've Got Some Cheating to Do," "Take It Back (Before You Mean It)," "Another Bad Habit of Mine," "I Should Be Gone by Now." There's also a fine cover of the George Jones-Tammy Wynette classic "Golden Ring," featuring labelmate Kelly Hogan doing Tammy's part. Hobart and the Misery Boys don't exactly break any new ground on their third Bloodshot album--granted, they didn't break any new ground on their first two--but with this band, that's not really the point. --David Hill
