Talking... Coldwater, Tennessee

better than ever on Coldwater, Tennessee."
"An unflinching country troubadour the likes of whom could compel the

of what real country music sounds like.” "Those who need
schoolin’ in the classics of country music will find here some lessons
not offered in Nashville." "... the
flowing Bill Anderson tune “Tips Of My Fingers” is reinvented with the
utmost beauty." “I've often said
anyone can trace a picture... it takes a true artist to paint one.
Dallas Wayne is an artist, because he takes these old songs and paints
them in a totally different light from the way the jukebox originally
taught him. My song, 'Tips Of My Fingers,' for example, has never been
recorded outside of a waltz tempo until now. And it shines... as do
all the others... in the hands of a true artist.” “Great job on an old song of mine called
'Blame It On The Times.' Thanks for bringing this one back!”

telling you, this old boy should be in the f***ing Country Music Hall
of Fame."

Wayne blazes his own trail."
"With his deep,
rich voice ... Dallas Wayne stands alongside the likes of Dale Watson and Wayne Hancock as one of the premier
standard-bearers in contemporary honky-tonk music."

Dallas Wayne is to hardcore honky-tonk what 110 proof corn whiskey is
to hard liquor. Wayne's sterling originals … shine with exquisite
hillbilly wit and poetry."

country's gain."
I’m Your Biggest Fan
“The fact that Dallas Wayne, one bodacious
country singer/songwriter, is still laboring in semi-obscurity is a
sin.”

better-known players in the world of country music should bow before.”

Paycheck tradition of pure honky-tonk."

an irony in Wayne's cover of Faron Young's 'Here I Am in Dallas'...
Here he is, indeed, and country music is so much better for it."

his rich baritone acquires a beer-soaked twang, the attitude seems
earned, not borrowed."

tough to follow up a critically acclaimed record like Wayne's 2000
HighTone release Big Thinkin', but Here I Am in Dallas shows he's
definitely up to the challenge."

plays reverent, hardcore honky tonk, and this is another strong
release… Genuine stuff indeed."
"From
the first notes on Here I Am in Dallas, (he) decries country music's
wayward ways with a deep and soulful voice."
"Imagine
a burlier-sounding Randy Travis -- stripped of varnish and steeped in
the hard-twang influence of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard -- and you'll
have some sense of the rough-hewn gem that is Dallas Wayne."
Big
Thinkin'
"This collaboration ... is a blast.
Tough, witty, reverent and sad, Big Thinkin' is big country."
"One of the best country albums of the
year. Wayne and Fulks can turn a phrase as well as Hank Cochran. Big
Thinkin' is that good."

Thinkin' is much needed relief for
alt-country… proof that authentic country is alive and well."
"Classic roadhouse sound… Flat-out
vocal performances for the ages."

honky-tonk."
"Not since Merle Haggard and Tammy
Wynette were washed up on shore by Hurricane Garth has country music
sounded this authentic."
"You truly believe the guy could put a
restaurant menu to music and make it sound great. This is easily one
of the best discs I've listened to all year. A new force to be dealt
with in country music."

Thinkin' is the breath of fresh air
that fans of real country music have been craving."
"Dallas Wayne has the right kind of
voice to put this stuff back on the radio. Hard-core honky-tonk."

singers like Vern Gosdin and John Anderson -- in timeless honky-tonk
that ranges in mood from barn burning to tear-jerking." ~ Peter
Margasak, The Chicago Reader
"Dallas Wayne: A newcomer today, one of
tomorrow's greats."
"In a world of pretenders ... Dallas
Wayne is the real deal."

"… a voice that hovers somewhere
between the dusky tones of Waylon Jennings and the stylistic flair of
George Jones ... a true country singer."
"Conjures memories of George Jones,
Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and Waylon Jennings… this is a hard-core
country experience."
"Wayne's barroom weepers and roadhouse
stompers are a breath of fresh air."
"You want country? This guy is
hard-core, undiluted roadhouse country."
"Wayne has a voice that was made to sing
real country … His traditionalism is darn refreshing."
