Description:

If every barroom in the world but one burned down, it's easy to imagine Wade Hayes standing in it long after midnight, belting out hard-hitting, alcohol- and despair-drenched honky-tonk laments like "Life After Lovin' You" and "That's What Honky Tonks Are For" from this fourth album. The Oklahoma-born Hayes possesses a choked-down, throbbing baritone that's delightfully reminiscent of Waylon Jennings. On swaggering barnburners like "What's It Gonna Take," pleading laments like "Goodbye Is the Wrong Way to Go," and his dazzling rendition of "She Used to Say That to Me," this Telecaster-toting cowboy serves up an eerie, compelling hard-country mix of macho nonchalance and painful vulnerability. On "I'm Lonesome Too," which has all the markings of a showstopper, Hayes serves up a tortured, yearning Chris Isaak-style falsetto that showcases yet another winning dimension of his rock-solid talents and stalwart neo-honky-tonk sensibilities. --Bob Allen

5Awesome!  Jun 10, 2009
Amazing performance! Very diverse artist, distinct sound of his own, and never tire of listening! New CD soon be available (Place To Turn Around), so be sure to be on the lookout--great songs mostly written by Wade. This guy should be on top--superior to all!!

5The Best Album Yet  Jan 22, 2001
Wade Hayes' music just keeps getting better and better! I've been a fan of Mr. Hayes ever since the release of his first hits "Old Enough to Know Better" and "I'm Still Dancing with You", but the Oklahoma native just keeps perfecting his talent with each new offering to the music world. His deep, sultry vocals and seemingly effortless guitar picking is amazing, and with his latest release, his maturity as both a singer and a guitarist is evident. The album has just the right balance of fast and slow country tunes. "What's It Gonna Take" and "Life After Lovin' You" will get you up and dancing, while "I'm Lonesome Too" and "Goodbye Is The Wrong Way To Go" will transport you to the bar where you can cry in your beer. I would have to say that this is Wade's best album yet,and I dearly hope he continues to enrich the country music genre with his fine talent. Thank you, Wade, for sharing your love of music with the world!

5WADE HAYES DOES IT AGAIN!  Nov 18, 2000
I have loved Wade's music since the first time I heard him sing the early hits: "Don't Stop"; "Old Enough to Know Better"; and all the rest. He released a single awhile back with "Wichita Lineman" on it that left me asking, "Glen who?". What a great voice. HIGHWAYS & HEARTACHES is no different in that respect. The selections are great. Wade's voice is so distinctive. From start to finish, this CD keeps you wanting to hear even more. I play it over and over again. I have seen Wade in person 5 times now and he just never ceases to amaze me because he performs every one of his songs EXACTLY like they are on his CD's and they seem to come straight from his heart! He has such integrity. A true COUNTRY singer. This guy may have been around a few years already, but give him some more time. When some of the soft pop in country music isn't so trendy anymore, Wade will still be singing great traditional Country music. It took awhile for folks like Willie Nelson and John Anderson to be popular. It'll happen for Wade Hayes too. The more often you hear him sing, the more you will believe it's true.......

5Honkey Tonk Pipes  Oct 09, 2000
In a world full of POP country, it is so nice to hear the sounds of traditional country music. With a voice that can put you in the mood for anything. As an avid Wade fan, i was extremely upset that Monument didn't let Wade write any of the songs on this cd, but there are so many politics involved. At least there are Chick Rains and Shawn Camp involved who are some of Wade's favorite songwriters.The album is definately full of some great music. "Goodbye is the Wrong Way to Go" shows off all of his tallents, espically that distinct voice'then there is "What's it gonna take" which will get ANYONE dancing,"Up North" once again, i can't say enough about the tallent that Wade has,you will just have to listen for yourself.It is well worth it.As far for how long it took to release, once again politics.Wade has appoligized over and over again for that.(and he has no control over it either!) I just think everyone should know how genuine and REAL Wade Hayes is.The album is GREAT and so is he as a person.Everyone should take the time to listen to ALL of his music.He is 100% tallent, writing,guitar, and singing.But most of all a very nice person and very deserving of the fame he should receive.Thank You,Debbie Rueve
