Customer Review: Good commercial Honky Tonk
Having grown up in Beaumont with Mark Chesnutt and the Texas Honky Tonk venues, I am qualified to say that this is a great CD. It's not as hard core Honky Tonk as Mark's Savin the Honky Tonk. I saw Zona in Moe's Place in Katy before I ever bought his CD. He and the Swing West Band cover all the Texas HT classics in a bar. This CD is a great romp. A couple of good Western Swing style songs, some great love songs and a couple of good Honky Tonk songs. My Hat's Off To Him is one of the great country waltzes originally recorded by Doug Stone. This CD is a must own. Somebody please save country music from the music executives!
Customer Review: Lovin' feelings . . .
Zona Jones has a great voice and can deliver a country song with complete conviction, and if the smoother sentiments of Nashville suit you, you'll love this CD. But if your idea of honky tonk leans toward the rowdy, raunchy and rebellious, this set of songs will seem a little tame. There are a couple rousing numbers that flirt with socially questionable behavior ("One Fool On a Stool" and "House of Negotiable Affections") and the title song is a lament about "movin' on" and the solo life of the independent cowboy soul more in love with the road than women. But most of the CD is devoted to songs about loving feelings fulfilled ("Two Hearts," "Honky Tonk Baby," "I Said All This," "In My Eyes," "All of Me"), unfulfilled ("Whiskey Kind of Way," "Now We're Even," "My Hat's Off to Him") or in between ("Back in Your Arms," "I'll Give It to You"). Altogether, Jones is easy on the ears, but if you're more in the mood for real down and dirty Texas honky tonk, try Ed Burleson and Kevin Fowler.
