This is one of my favorite Waylon Jennings albums and probably the one I listen to the most often. When Waylon recorded this, he wasn't a "superstar" anymore, but they hadn't carved his face up on Mount Rushmore yet, so he was free to just sit down and record some great country songs. There is a lot of wisdom in some of these tunes, like "Where Corn Don't Grow", "Reno and Me", and "Too Close to Call", and also some damn good country picking. The title track shows that Waylon could still rock, too. The radio hit from this album was "Wrong". (I can't remember if it was actually a hit, but it was the last "new" Waylon song I remember hearing on the radio -- pretty soon afterwards, Garth Brooks came along, and country music was banned from country radio).

This album, released in 1990, came towards the end of Waylon's career. It was one of the best of his career artistically. It yielded the top five country hit Wrong, a very amusing song about a failed relationship, while the anthemic title track also made the country top twenty.

Although the songs are a mix of different tempos, the lyrics are generally reflective, showing the wisdom that comes with maturity. Waylon did not write any of the songs (except for a co-credit on Waking up with you) but clearly chose songs that he could in some way relate to.

Working cheap is a great up-tempo song to open the set. There are a couple of great mid-tempo songs (Where corn don't grow, Reno and me) and several great ballads including the closing track, Old church hymns and nursery rhymes, from the songbook of Beth Nielsen Chapman.

Waylon recorded several albums that were more commercially successful but very few that were more entertaining. If you want more of Waylon's music than just the big RCA hits, this is a great album to listen to.

Some may dis-agree and say all of Waylons albums were great. I understand that and won't argue your point. For me, Waylon had a few lame albums, always a good cut here and there and alot of fillers, his MCA albums were that. "Too Dumb for NYC Too Ugly for La" was also a lame album and it came right after this.

This CD, the EAGLE is great from start to finish. It contains Waylon's last huge top 5 hit "Wrong" (also a great video of the song was also made). Waylon beat Travis Tritt in "where corn dont grow" and was actually released as a single but failed to chart. Waylon comes through and writes some of the material (something he didnt do much on his MCA albums of the 80's). This is DEFF a great starter for anyone wanting to build a Waylon collection. His 70's Albums won't disappoint you and neither will this one !

This is really a great CD. Got it as a gift for my mom and she loves it. She received the product fast and on the day it said. It was great. Thank you.
