Dallas Wayne

Dallas Wayne set out to make an album true to his honky-tonk country roots. The result "Here I Am In Dallas" is honky-tonk to the extreme. If you feared that real country music, in the tradition of Vern Gosdin, George Jones and Faron Young, had disappeared forever, fear not! It once again rears its whiskey-drenched, cryin' steel guitar, honky-tonk-shuffle head with this album. Dallas draws on a selection of choice covers spanning the 60s through to the 80s plus six originals in that tradition. The title song was probably the last great Faron Young single. Other selections were originally cut by the likes of Vernon Oxford (Shadows Of My Mind), Ray Frushay (Cheatin Traces) and Gary Stewart (Little Junior). Dallas also gives his treatment to the classic honky-tonk cheatin' song "Happy Hour". Notable amongst the new originals is Dallas' tribute to Merle, Buck and the Bakersfield sound, "Bouncin' Beer Cans Off The Jukebox"
