About
Honky-tonk jams like “Flying Colors” and “Lucky Dog” reserve you a stool at the kind of rowdy clubs the Kentucky singer had been playing since age 15. But Whitley’s rich, tender baritone brings ballads to life, too. <i>Don't Close Your Eyes</i> has dagger-wielding heartbreakers and wedding-worthy love songs, like the title track, in which he reaches out to a distant lover with a warmth and openness that invokes George Jones. "I'm No Stranger to the Rain" nails a feeling that’s even more elusive: tentative, melancholy triumph.
