Empty Stretch Of Highway Version 2 You'll find a
wide variety of genres on Dawn Shipleys
second album. The opening track Bear
With Me Baby is a solid rocking
song with an early 60s beat. Of
course, there's a majority of Rockabilles
like Anyone But You (nice
guitar work with some Scotty Moore echoes
in it), the frantic rhythm of Baby
If I, the cover of Glen Glenns
One Cup Of Coffee and on the
rural edge full Moon Keeps On
Shining. Empty Stretch Of
Highway a haunting country song
with echo on the guitar has some more
modern vibes in it. Its probably
one of the best cut of the album and I
suppose Im not the only one to
think that because you find an alternate
take more acoustic and slower that ends
the album. On the traditional
country side Make Believe is
a true and classic Honky Tonk with good
steel throughout and Patsy Clines
Crazy Dream is slightly played faster
than the original, but is still a great
country weeper. Warm voice, slight rhythm
and jazz chords on the guitar are on the
menu of Goin Crazy a
love song a la Fever. Sharp
Shootin a fine hillbilly
instrumental is another occasion for
guitarist Joel Morin to shine on picking
guitar and on steel. The rest of the band
has to be credited too for their solid
work on the album : Tony Macias on bass
and Tony DeHerrera on drums. Good job. Fred "Virgil"
