Yet the Smith's eponymous debut album never descended into mere whining; the self-pity was tempered by self-deprecating humor and self-aware forgiveness...
...life resembles a far-fetched hard-luck version of the actual Willie Nelson saga, but it is first and foremost a rolling, highly entertaining chronicle of its own. I all of all kinds of deadpan golden nuggets of humor--greasy, love-to-hate-'em Williams; imperfect but irresistable heroes; hard drinking, good friends, good loving, heartache, strumming acoustic guitar accompaniment--the tale can sound too much like your generic hit country song.
