Whiskey Girl

"A veteran of several major-label deals resurfaces with a solid album of self-penned tunes. As a singer, Hobbs relies more on charm than chops. Her gritty vocal approach is reminiscent of Skeeter Davis and is a welcome relief from the perfectly polished gymnastics favored by the Nashville establishment. She's at her best when she aims for the heart, as she does on ballads like "Yesterday Tonight", "Do It Right Now", and the lovely "Pale Moon". And "That's The Way I Feel About You" is one of the best dang Motown songs ever to come out of Nashville."

"Groaning, she struggled to a sitting position and stretched, gradually opening her eyes. With the sheet wrapped around her, she staggered to the window and pushed the tattered curtain aside. The dirt road and endless sea of pine trees jarred her memory."
