Dodging Bullets
Released in 2002 on Leap Recordings, this is The Brooklyn Cowboys' most recent album.
Walter shares lead singing duties with Brian Waldshlager, and songwriting duties with Waldshlager and Fredro Perry. Joy Lynn White returns to provide backing vocals on a few of the tracks as well, but has not rejoined the band.
Once again, though technically considered country rock, this is pure country. And I'm not talking about modern country music- this is nothing like the Shania Twains, Dixie Chicks, and Kenny Chesneys of today's country. This is like old-time country and I honestly don't like it (and for the record, I don't like modern country either). So why then do I keep buying The Brooklyn Cowboys' albums? Because the Walter Egan completist in me won't let me ignore them.
But don't take my words the wrong way, I'm not saying that it's bad music. I'm just really not a country fan and those who are fans of this genre may very well enjoy this album. That being said, I suggest country fans read the reviews of people who do appreciate that genre.
