 Chris Leigh
 Broken Hearted Friends
 Review by Gary Hill

There is a lot of old school country in the mix here. Sometimes more modern elements are heard, but that retro sound really dominates. It’s well done and I like this album. That said, there is one big blemish as far as I’m concerned. The song “Ramblin’ Man” includes an offensive ethnic slur. It really made me consider not reviewing this album at all. I think the disc would be a much easier one to heartily endorse if that song were left off or rewritten. It’s a shame that it stands as a blemish on an otherwise exceptional album.
