Real Thing

Description

Rodney Hayden- The Real ThingAmazon.com The 22-year-old South Texas native Rodney Hayden is the very first signee to Rosetta Records, 's new label. Thus it's not surprising that Hayden often sounds disarmingly like Keen in terms of intonation, if not style. But the Keen influence is only one component of Hayden's impressive and well-rounded package of talent. Stylistically, he's cast himself in a Texas-style hard-country/honky-tonk vein, with a touch of Nashville polish tossed in. He brings fire and youthful conviction to fine originals like the coming-of-age "Tryin' to Find Myself" and the anthemic "Heartaches & Highways" (two of seven songs Hayden cowrote with Bill Whitbeck for his debut album). Though he sounds a little callow on his rendition of 's world-weary, politically incorrect "Black Rose," Hayden breathes convincing heartbreak into 's "Tears Only Run One Way." And he even manages to turn 's beer-stained, self-pitying "I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You" into a credible honky-tonk weeper. --Bob Allen
