Wade Hayes knows all the buttons to push to get a country hit. OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER, his debut, is an appealing neo-traditional collection that smacks of authenticity. This guy has not "gone country," he is country.
Exploring more hard-edged sounds, Wade breaks down some boundaries, but his roots--from hard country to blugrass--are always apparent. The album contains some strong ballads ("I'm Still Dancing With You") and rockers ("Don't Make Me Come To Tulsa") which are sung in a resonant and more convincing voice than most newcomers his age are able to muster. The boot-scootin" title track has all the elements of an anthemic #1 hit. Brooks & Dunn provide a sturdy track, "Steady As She Goes," and there is a cover Of Keith Whitley's tender "Kentucky Bluebird" featuring Patty Loveless on harmony vocals.
Wade stands out from the nouveux Nashville crowd for many reasons--he writes and sings well, and has a solid country sound. And when Hayes combines these talents, as he does on OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER, they're a testament as to why he has a better than average chance of striking gold.
