swirling fiddle by guest Charlie Daniels. "24 Hours at a Time" is a contemporary truck-driving song. And both "Too Stubborn" and "Fly Eagle Fly" would sound at home on any C&W jukebox.

Doug Gray does fine vocal work on the three longer numbers, which include the title track, with its easy-riding flute and guitar patterns, "Southern Woman," with a catchy organ and guitar riff, and the spacey "You Ain't Foolin' Me."

The Tuckers' sound is fully integrated and yet individual musicianship stands out. The bass and drums of Tommy Caldwell and Paul Riddle are solid and inventive, and one couldn't possibly ignore Toy Caldwell's guitar. On "Another Cruel Love," he drives and flows simultaneously, playing with his thumb rather than the customary flatpick and finger style of most lead guitarists. He wrote all the songs and is one hell of a musician.

The Tuckers mix a lot of elements intelligently to create the album's distinctive feel. The result is music rich, deep and wide. (RS 159)
