Dave Insley’s new cd Just The Way I Am is boots on country, authentic and real.
Opening with the excellent Drinkin’ Wine and Staring at the Phone is classic 60’s Bakersfield via Austin Texas, while the minor chord I Don’t Know How this Story Ends has a Merle Haggard vibe.
This is total mid 60’s throwback Honky Tonk as evidenced on No One To Come To or Win Win Situation for Losers, yet there is a tenderness to the superb title track .
The musicians on the album are totally key to the album’s charm in particular Rick Shea’s guitar work and the excellent piano chops of Matt Hubbard.
