Cerrito rekindles early-'70s-era traditional country in the vein of Gene Watson, George Jones, and Johnny Rodriguez. There is sonic reinvention of the proverbial wheel on well-worn heartache tracks such as "Love Me Forever Today," which contains Spanish and English lyrics. The Mexican feeling of "Adios Mi Vida, Adios" and also "I'll Hold You in My Heart Till I Can Hold You in My Arms" also recalls the late Marty Robbins performing "El Paso," even down to the horns. Void of any Nashville nuances that Kenny Chesney or Shania Twain churn out, classics such as a cover of Hank Williams' "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You)" are quite pleasing. However, "Conga (With a Little Bit of Rock & Roll)" is a Cajun-cum-salsa effort wrapped in honky tonk that sounds far too superficial. One song that doesn't quite make it is "Stranger," with Janie Fricke. More festive is the toe-tapping Latin touch on "Say That You Love Me." But it's the traditional country that is worth this album's salt, especially on the tender "Table for Two." ~ Jason MacNeil, Rovi
