 Rating:  - A Masterpiece!I just accidently discovered this guy (where's his PR?) and I'm just in AWE. I love his voice (it's not monotonous throughout every song like most vocalists today seem to be, so you know he's got true talent if each songs sounds different and gives you a different mood). The more I listen to this CD, it just gets better and better. I just can't believe this musical genius (he WRITES his own songs!) is so underrated. Rating: - As country and as comfortable as a pearl snap shirtNashville has been known to make more than one man fall to his knees and struggle to get back up. It's a busy city filled with needless efforts to build images and mold artists into what the executives want. When Deryl Dodd arrived in Music City in the early 1990s, he was willing to almost anything to succeed in the music business. He had the right looks, a great sound and by the mid 90s, had a record deal. When Dodd became very ill and weak while traveling to promote his debut album, friends and physicians alike dismissed it as one of the details of playing the Nashville game. When it was all said and done, Dodd had been the victim of a much more serious situation. He had been battling viral encephalitis, has been recovering slowly over the ...

Coasting on the razor edge between "young country" Top 40 and Joe Ely-style bar band rowdiness, Dodd has a pleasantly un-perfect voice which makes him human enough to be a little "alt"... The title track to the best-of set is pretty irresistible and catchy... it's followed up by two more great tunes, "She's Have You Back" and a nice rendition of Tom T. Hall's "That's How I Got To Memphis." From there it's a steady slide into commercial formulae, but on the whole this is a pretty decent collection. Plus, I have to confess I've always been partial to Gordon Lightfoot's "Sundown..." Dodd's version ain't as great as Lightfoot's, but that's a tough standard to live up to, and Dodd does alright. This album is a little bit on ... Read More: Rating:  - Third time's a charmStardom is hunting Deryl Dodd. Having broken into country as a hot-shot guitarist with Martina McBride, Dodd got his own contract with Columbia just a few years later. His debut LP garnered attention, and a cover of Tom T. Hall's "That's How I Got to Memphis" started climbing the charts. But fame's call for self-promotion ran against the grain of Dodd's upbringing, and combined with the struggle of a divorce to knock the rising star off the ladder of success. Two years later, with his direction sorted out his, Dodd waxed a second LP, and with an original single, "A Bitter End," he once again enjoyed radio play. Opening slots with Brooks and Dunn and The Dixie Chicks beckoned him to a second chance at success. But that second shot was ... Read More: Rating: - Welcome back, Deryl!It's good to see Deryl's work back on the shelves. I had looked forward to this album being released, and was not at all disappointed. While I confess to being a fan of his music for a number of years, I was taken aback some months ago during a trip to Dallas when I heard an absolutely haunting rendition of "Sundown" on the car radio. Rarely has anything I've heard on country radio these days so caught my attention. I hope we'll see a single being released on this one. Elsewhere on the album, "Cows" is a catchy tune with a message for those whose baby's not coming back "`till the cows come home", "On Earth as it is in Texas" just screams "Lone Star Pride", those of us who prefer Wrangler Checotah and 13MWZ's to white shirts and ties can certainly ...
