Travis's third album is another winner in the same beautifully produced neo-traditionalist vein of STORMS OF LIFE, and ALWAYS AND FOREVER, with a similar mixture of cry in your beer weepers ("It's Out of My Hands,""), I'll-love-you-forever songs ("Deeper Than the Holler," "Written in Stone") and neo-honky-tonkers ("Honky-Tonk Moon," "Is It Still Over"), all sung with Travis's patented George Jones derived clench-jawed soul. Highlights include the wrenching title song, which Travis limns sings with amazing delicacy, and "The Blues in Black and White," one of the wittiest breakup songs of the '80s.
