Though he sports a cowboy hat and once did time on a major label, David Ball is no "hat act." Even on an independent label, he still manages to get his albums into the country and pop charts, he writes most of his songs, plays with a real band instead of a bunch of clock-watching Nashville studio rats, and most importantly, he plays real country music. Still, to peg Ball as a traditionalist would be a mistake; though he covers Merle Haggard's "Trying Not to Love You" on AMIGO, he's not really a honky-tonker. Over the course of the album, he dabbles in western swing, Tex-Mex, swaying Jimmy Buffett folk-rock, and gently paced story songs. Whatever style he takes on though, there's an air of authenticity to David Ball's approach, and that's what makes AMIGO so appealing.
