Holy is one of the best of the latest crop of country neo-traditionalists, the possessor of a spine-tingling falsetto that he uses judiciously in most of the songs here. It's shown to best advantage on "Just a Kiss," a '50s style ballad (complete with tinkling piano) that deliberately recalls Roy Orbison; somewhere, Chris Isaak must be turning green with envy.
Not surprisingly, the best things here are the ballads, including the achingly beautiful title song, although Holy also proves surprisingly adept at an old fashioned honky-tonker like "Tear One." The most remarkable track is "Someone's Out to Get Me," in which somebody (presumably producer Wilbur Rimes) was nervy enough to underscore the paranoia of the lyrics with deliberately cornball audio effects, including what sounds like the gong from the old J. Arthur Rank movies.
