If you can judge an artist by the company she keeps, Libbi Bosworth has returned to the first rank of Austin's progressive country contingent with her first release in five years. The loose playfulness of a homecoming pervades the album. Highlights include spirited duets with Toni Price ("Man Overboard") and Don Walser ("Something to Brag About"), while the harmonies of Gurf Morlix and the musicianship of Casper Rawls, Lloyd Maines, Johnny Gimble, and other Lone Star stalwarts provide support. The buoyant, sweet-voiced Bosworth, who's written songs for Price and Kelly Willis, combines roadhouse tradition with rock dynamics. Though she's spent time in Nashville and Los Angeles, songs such as the accordion-tinged "South Texas Highway" and "Back Home in Texas" show where the heart of her music lies. --Don McLeese

Down home in Libbiville.......2005-01-19
Solid sophomore outing for talented Austin country singer.......2001-12-09
All but three of the thirteen tracks were penned by Bosworth, including odes to her home state, "South Texas Highway" and "Back Home in Texas." "Highway 59," the story of a retired trucker's declining years, seems to be a second biographical song about Bosworth's dad. The first, "My Old Man," charted her dad's rocky relationship with fatherhood. The new composition seems to document his lonely later years living in a trailer alongside the highway he once roamed. Bosworth's "Man Overboard" offers a twangy duet with Toni Price, and she pairs with Don Walser on a cover of "Something to Brag About," previously waxed by George Jones and Tammy Wynette.
Bosworth keeps musical company with some great musicians, including guitarists Casper Rawls, Paul Skelton, and Jack Saunders, pedal steel player Lloyd Maines, bassist Bill Rowe, drummer Rick Richards, and fiddlers Brendan Anthony and Johnny Gimble. Gurf Morlix adds harmony vocals throughout, and guests include Bruce Robison singing backing vocals on "Ha Ha Ha," and Chip Dolan adding superb south-of-the-border accordion to "South Texas Highway."
Altogether, a nice sophomore outing. Let's hope it doesn't take another 4 years for Bosworth to get to junior year!
3-1/2 stars, if Amazon allowed fractional ratings.
