Johnny Rodriguez - You Can Say That Again (1996/2020)

Quite possibly the strongest release Johnny Rodriguez has offered since his heyday in the late '70s and early '80s, You Can Say That Again captures his honky tonk roots perfectly. Rodriguez alternates between honky tonk standards and new tunes written in the tradition. Not all of the new songs are fit to stand in comparison to the classics, but Rodriguez's sweaty energy and gritty, soulful vigor make You Can Say That Again a joy.
