If you want an album that is 100% Grade A certified classic country in 2019, look no further than Vincent Neil Emerson\u2019s debut record called Fried Chicken & Evil Women.  This record hits all the notes of what you would want in a classic country album. Smooth country crooning, nice pedal steel, honky tonk piano, it\u2019s all there. This 27 year old from East Texas has put together the complete package.  There isn\u2019t a bad track on this record. Let\u2019s take a dive into it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first highlight here is a great piece of song writing called \u201cWillie Nelson\u2019s Wall\u201d.  It starts out with an amazing pedal steel riff and I love the opening line \u201cI\u2019m as high as a fly on Willie Nelson\u2019s wall\u201d.  It\u2019s a great upbeat song about being high. Another highlight is the title track \u201cFried Chicken & Evil Women\u201d. The pedal steel and honky tonk guitar are thick on this track, as it is on most of this album.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDade County Jail\u201d starts off with some piano chords that will make you think you\u2019re back in church.  But in reality, the song is a slow blues track about waking up in jail. I love the acoustic guitar solo on this one.  Some really good songwriting here. Finally, \u201cHighway Shine\u201d kicks off with some simple acoustic picking and great crooning from Vincent till the full band kicks in.  It\u2019s a smooth track about wanderlust that closes out the album. There\u2019s some more great solo work on this track and I love the shout out to Billy Joe Shaver.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vincent Neil Emerson has released an impressive debut album with Fried Chicken & Evil Women.  In fact, this is one of the most country albums you will find in 2019. The playing and songwriting are top notch throughout and I cannot wait to see where this takes Vincent.  I hope to be able to see him live one day. Fried Chicken & Evil Women is available everywhere you can find good country music as of Friday September 13th, 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
