Chris Richards - Tumblers and Grit

Who says there's no great country music in Sheboygan, Wisconsin? Well, Chris Richards himself admits it's not exactly a hotbed of roots music outlaws, but nevertheless he managed to grow up there and not only find those roots, but embrace them with amazing power, emotion, and incredible raw talent.

With a deft hand at sharp, clever lyrics and a warm, rich, comfortable voice, Richards presents Tumblers and Grit as a tremendously listenable disc, a collection of 11 strong tracks that shift from the sorrowful irony of To Sing the Blues to bouncy toe-tapping numbers like Nashville Gas. Whether two-stepping through the Honky-Tonk Graveyard or mourning love lost in Hearts Like These (duet with Dawn McCoy), there is something remarkable about Richards' lyrics that tugs at the heart. ~ Full Review at About.com
