After decades of playing Texas dancehalls, Don Walser enjoyed his first national recognition in 1994, thanks to the gleeful celebration of his unmistakable vocal talent in Rolling Stone from Texas. Texas Top Hand finds him enjoying the fruits of his success by taking a few songs uptown. Working again with producer Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel, Walser again yodels with unabashed acrobatic delight and soars with nimble, full-throated joy through country classics and old-sounding new tunes. He sings with a robustly happy spirit, as his sky-high trills convey, and this time he occasionally leads a brassy big band with the same homespun clarity that he lends to steel-driven, peanut-shell dancehall tunes.
