Rodney Hayden "I'll Give You Love"

Country : cd available www.cdbaby.com Rodney Hayden was born after Elvis died, but that doesn't stop this young cowboy from offering a rousing salute to his forebears. Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins all get a mention in the emotion-tinged title track, a cover of the 1973 Chip Taylor composition. There is also plenty of musical maturity behind "I Hope I Don't Fall In Love With You," a rueful cover of a Tom Waits song, and the romantic "Black Rose," a dark love song popularized by the late Waylon Jennings.
Hayden knows his way around a honky-tonk despite being barely old enough to hoist a longkneck, and he can write too. He takes his emotions out for a canter on the surprisingly sentimental "Tears Only Run One Way," one of seven songs he co-wrote. This is the first album on the new label started by country veteran Robert Earl Keen, who also serves as executive producer, and Hayden's laconic, jazzy singing is backed by a group of experienced, splendid sidemen. Their tutelage finds an apt pupil in young Hayden.
BOTTOM LINE: The Title Says It All.
