What The Critics Say
England's first album in four years is a leap of faith. For one, he's gone from Ty to Tyler because he says, "this is a more grownup record, with a more mature sound and subject matter." Second, there isn't a song on this 12 track collection that sounds anything like the contemporary country pop that radio favors. But he's true to his traditional roots and provides ear candy for the honky-tonk soul with songs like the up-tempo "My Baby No Esta Aqui," the moving story-song of the "Travelin' Soldier," or the eclectic remake of his only top five hit "Should've Asked Her Faster," with the guitar-lovin' Steve Wariner. What England does lack is vocal enthusiasm, but he makes up for it in originality. Produced by his college buddy Garth Brooks, Highways & Dancehalls is a verifiable reprieve from the bubble gum music we've gotten used to hearing on radio. Country music fans will welcome England back with open arms. ~ Maria Konicki Dinoia, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Ty England's second album, Two Ways To Fall, is nearly as strong as his debut album, boasting an excellent selection of ballads and honky tonk ravers that establish him as one of the finest mainstream country singers of the mid-'90s. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
While his voice hearkens back to classic honky tonk singers like Lefty Frizzell, Ty England's music falls halfway between Garth Brooks and Randy Travis, ranging from uptempo stomps to heartfelt ballads. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
