CD: "One More Shot"
Artist: Tyler Reeve
Release: Sept. 23, 20111
Label: Tyler Reeve Inc.
I first heard Tyler Reeve at the Country Throwdown in Raleigh, NC the summer of 2010 and loved him. He puts on a great stage show and definitely kept the crowd moving. His music is all country, you won't find any genre mixing here. Tyler is Tyler and that's who the fans keep coming to see and it seems every show he plays draws more fans. I was excited to see that he would be releasing "One More Shot" in September 2011 and knew it was one I wanted to get my hands on.
The cd kicks off with the upbeat twang and kick of "One More Shot", a song that will have many pair of boots two stepping around a sawdust floor in their local honky tonk. The second track, "Can't Stop Drinkin" ... not sure if I like that one or not yet. I can't pinpoint it, but something just misses the point with this one. I don't know if it's the lyrics or the melody, but it's something. Ok, let's move on. Oooh, talking about moving on, the next song happens to be my favorite on the cd, "Movin' On". Tyler sings his rugged country heart out on this one, pouring a blend of emotion into every note, every word. I love this one. The next couple of songs, "Drinkin' Song" and "Back on the Road" are good but not really songs I could classify as the better songs on the cd. They're the type of songs you'd hear at any show on Nashville's Broadway any night of the week from a number of country bands trying to cut their teeth. "Used to Losing" is another good one. For the most part, give or take a couple of songs, the cd is definitely a keeper and so is Tyler. If you have a chance to catch him live, do it. If you want to add some "I am who I am" country to your new artist collection, here's your choice.

Tyler Reeve is one of the best artists I've seen in quite some time. He is upbeat, funny and as Tina said a true gentleman. We have been true believers since November of 2010 and will remain so! Tyler and the guys in the band are friendly and welcome you as one of their own! Love my boys!
