Reviews
"...A song cycle based on his childhood, it rocks hard and is deeply moving - maybe the best album ever from the gifted singer-songwriter." - Rating: A-, "...Dark at times, this album never disappears beneath the gloom. There are flashes of humor, touches of tenderness...", "The tension between this regret and that affection give the songs their tension, and the sharp details of the lyrics provide the focus.", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A successful attempt to get a little realer...than the Nashville norm....With Crowell's uncommonly light and easy vocals negotiating the reality riddles with something like grace, HOUSTON KID has the aura of an old pro meditatin gon his past...", "...Another Testament to His Staying Power As a Compelling Musical Storyteller...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Quite possibly his best work yet....this is personal material but with almost universal appeal..."
