Travis's sophomore album for Warners was an enormous hit (five million copies sold its first year) and with good reason. It stayed in the same neo-traditionalist vein of STORMS OF LIFE, with a similar mix of cry in your beer weepers and up-tempo neo-honky-tonk workouts, but with even better crafted songs; interestingly, one of the best of them, the family values tribute "My House," is co-written by someone named Al Gore (no relation, apparently). Other highlights include Dennis Linde's defiantly blue collar love song "What'll You Do About Me," and the humongous hit "Forever and Ever, Amen" a fiendishly catchy mid-tempo declaration of eternal love that Travis digs into with characteristic George Jones derived clench-jawed passion.
