Review

Find some alt-country falling too far on the rock side to satisfy your yearning for twang? You won't have that problem with Mike Ireland & Holler's debut album, which brings to mind Dwight Yoakam's Bakersfield revisionism, with occasional forays into terse string arrangements inspired by George Jones's '70s hits and even Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe." Ireland recognizes the eloquence of those records, and borrows some of it for himself. While most of this music is understated in its pain, Ireland occasionally gets as wild-eyed as the great Texas honky-tonker Gary Stewart, who'd be proud to put his name to the bitter "Don't Call This Love." Not that sentimentality doesn't get its due: hear "Christmas Past" and the cover of Johnnie Ray's 1951 hit "Cry." --Rickey Wright
