Review

Threading his way through 11 tunes penned with collaborators, Texas native Pinson's gravelly, twangy voice sets him apart, as do his slice-of-life vignettes evocative of John Mellencamp. Celebrating a tiny hamlet's vagaries in "Nothin' Happens in This Town" and an ancient car in "Ford Fairlane," Pinson stands apart by celebrating responsibility and common sense as opposed to the usual honky-tonk hellraising. While "Don't Ask Me How I Know" strings together clichéd homilies, its simple, clever structure renders it surprisingly effective. The same applies to "Man Like Me," a tune lauding adult behavior, and to the haunting teen tragedy ballad "I Thought That's Who I Was." Pinson, however, is anything but a pious stuffed shirt. While "Shadows of the Heartland" is way too cut and dried, in the unconventional gospel tune "One More Believer" he sings of a convert who remains as sardonic as he is honest. "Time Well Spent" unabashedly celebrates youthful partying. By refusing to parrot radio-friendly formulas, Pinson's blend of grit and simplicity result in a remarkable first effort. --Rich Kienzle"A John Deere tractor with an airplane engine" best describes Bobby's explosive mixture of country roots, rock `n' roll energy and down-to-earth lyrics that springs from his heart. His debut album on RCA Nashville features 11 songs penned by Bobby including his first hit "Don't Ask Me How I Know".
