When Sammy Kershaw first hit the country charts with his debut single Cadillac Style, a big part of his appeal was undoubtedly his vocal similarity to George Jones. Kershaw played up to this, including recording a duet of A Good Year For The Roses with Lorrie Morgan, which echoed the great Jones-Tammy Wynette duets of the past. By 1996 and the release of Politics, Religion and Her, Kershaw had established himself as a regular in the charts and judging by this album, felt ready to move on creatively while retaining the strong country element that characterised his earlier albums. A notalgic theme runs through the album, concentrating on love lost (I Saw You Today, For Years, Same Place). I also enjoyed the fun These Flowers ("...ain't for you, they're for your mama...") and the bitter-sweet Chevy Van. His cover of the Chuck Berry classic Memphis Tennessee chugs along without adding anything new. The album's highlight is the title track, which in the best tradition of classic country takes the form of a monologue, possibly delivered on a barstool, told by a man who has lost the love of his life and will happlily discuss anything apart from politics, religion... and her. Kershaw hasn't recorded a weak album and for a first-time listener I'd recommend, rather obviously, his greatest hits collection The Hits, Chapter One. Anyone who wants to look past the number ones and further into the singer's back catalogue should purchase this album without hesitation.
