About This Album
Travis Mitchell follows up his self-produced debut with this gem, written, recorded, and produced in 20 short days. This time label head Chris Henderson of 3 Doors Down is in the producer's chair, giving the album some spit and polish, without toning down Mitchell's down-home charm. Mitchell and his band, in particular ace lead guitarist Ty Taylor, continue to blend old-school country, honky tonk, Southern rock, and pop for a sound that's modern without sounding Nashville slick. The album signals its country roots with the fiddle that opens "She's That Kind of Girl," but quickly shifts girls into a driving pop/country confection with a trace of hip-hop in Mitchell's rapidly spoken/sung chorus, a tongue twisting tour de force that instantly imprints the hook into your head. Other hardcore country tracks include the pounding 2-step of "Broken Hearts and Beer" with some tasty pedal steel by Taylor and a driving stop-start rhythm, "Cross That Bridge," a fine ballad that glories in new love without underestimating the difficulties of a long-term relationship, and "River Road Rendezvous" driven by Taylor's clanging guitar and Mitchell's sweaty Saturday night in a dancehall vocal.
