4 out of 5 stars An Austin-Influenced Rock Gem.......2006-11-28

Charlie Sexton's little brother Will busts out a classic 80's pop album that mostly went unnoticed by the general public...and that's really a shame. Produced by Joe Ely, this album delivers straight-ahead Austin-flavoured guitar rock. I think part of the problem may have been that at the time, brother Charlie was perceived as more of a "hair pop" phenom rather than the seriously admired musician he is today, and people may have thought that Will was trying to ride the coat-tails, so to speak. To my ear, though, this sounds nothing like Charlie's work, and the writing is definitely more commercially oriented than what Charlie is renowned for. Jimmie Vaughn contributes musically to one track, as does Charlie, but for the most part this is Will's four-piece band guided by Joe Ely.

Tasty cuts on this album abound. "No Sleep", "Breakin' All The Rules", and "Restless To Reckless" are good old rockers, punctuated with Austin-influenced bluesy-rock like " "Teach The Teacher" and "Breakin' All The Rules". "Hard To Please" is a slow, bluesy lament about never being able to make a woman happy. The cornerstone of this album though, and obviously this is only my opinion, is the superb southern-pop gem "Heart Of Steel". This was the first (and only, I think) single off the album, and it's too bad that the record company never followed up the phenomenal airplay across the US with some deeper album cuts. All in all, a very good addition to any music collection, especially for fans of Austin-oriented rock.
