Album Intro：
Singer-songwriter Steve Azar arrives on his debut as an artist in conflict--one who needs to survive on radio, but can't deny his desire to join the alt-country ranks. As such, he tries to meld the two with schizophrenic, if not unsuccessful results. 'I Don't Have to Be Me (‘Til Monday),' an Everyman's exuberant celebration of calling in sick at work, scored at radio, and there's plenty more here, including the love ballad 'Lay Your Heart Next to Mine,' that could follow. But Azar's more interesting songs (some cowritten with producer Rafe Van Hoy) go the pared-down, Todd Snider route. 'Damn the Money,' for instance, a rockin' little shuffle about that elusive green stuff, could show up in a discussion in No Depression, as could 'The Underdog.' Azar isn't going to win awards for his serviceable vocals, but he may turn heads with the title track, which starts out as a likeable blue-collar lament and turns into a modern-day 'Wreck of the Old '97.' If that's not a bridge between musical cultures, well, Roy Acuff ain't country as corn in July. --Alanna Nash
