Review

Sure, you've heard it before: the twangy Telecaster leads, the whining steel guitar licks, the clever Harlan Howard-style lyrics, the woeful Merle-meets-Buck vocals. But Rex Hobart and the Misery Boys do it all so well, you have to cut them some slack for their retro ways. Besides, Rex and his boys--steel guitarist Solomon Hofer, lead guitarist J.B. Morris, bassist Blackjack Snow, and drummer T.C. Dobbs--never try to be anything more than they are: a damn fine honky-tonk band delightfully out of step with contemporary country music. Produced by Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam), Your Favorite Fool hits you like a double shot of whiskey with its 10 songs--all but one written by Hobart himself--about pain, suffering, lying, and cheating. The titles alone explain where Hobart is coming from: "You've Got Some Cheating to Do," "Take It Back (Before You Mean It)," "Another Bad Habit of Mine," "I Should Be Gone by Now." There's also a fine cover of the George Jones-Tammy Wynette classic "Golden Ring," featuring labelmate Kelly Hogan doing Tammy's part. Hobart and the Misery Boys don't exactly break any new ground on their third Bloodshot album--granted, they didn't break any new ground on their first two--but with this band, that's not really the point. --David HillLately, there's a been an accendence of the "emo" genre. You know, hardcore punk where emotions are worn on one's sleeve. Well, Rex and the Boys play emo in it's most pure and classic form; hardcore honky-tonk heartbreak. With Pete Anderson (Dwight Yoakam's right hand man) at the controls for this release, they deliver their most perfect polished effort to date.
