AMG Review of Honky Tonk Angel

Brian Mansfield
All Music Guide

The song subjects hardly classify Loveless as a honky-tonk angel, at least by Hank Thompson's definition. But this was the album that established Loveless as a major presence, and it includes two of her biggest singles -- "Chains," "Timber I'm Falling in Love" -- and two of her best -- "Blue Side of Town" and "Don't Toss Us Away," a duet with Rodney Crowell.
