Contents

Background

Eagleson aimed to return to the sound of neotraditional country with the release of Honkytonk Revival, citing George Strait, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, and Shania Twain as artists he listened to growing up that influenced the sound of this album. He remarked that it was "important to have the same sounds" as his "heroes" on the album, and was pleased to have Brent Mason playing lead guitar on the tracks. [4] Eagleson noted that he is "very big" on "making people smile" with his music. [5]

Critical reception

Kim Hughes of Parton and Pearl reviewed the album favourably, stating that it is "studiously well-crafted," "buoyed by the top tools of the trade and by a slick 90s-era country sensibility," while noting the prevalence of "fiddles, dobro, [and] steel guitars". She said that while the lyrics are "built for belted singalongs," they are also "especially compelling on closer listen". [6] Eric Volmers of the Calgary Herald stated that Eagleson is "blessed with an earthy baritone that makes every word convey old-school authenticity, which perhaps lets him get away with having his tongue planted in his cheek on many of those drinking songs" on the album. [5]
