![]() Jaime Wyatt (from the album Neon Cross available on New West Records) (by Bryant Liggett) Jaime Wyatt’s latest, Neon Cross, finds the Country singer laying out a record that has a little more polish while retaining grit and groove. Jaime Wyatt is a honky-tonk gal and while the Shooter Jennings-produced Neon Cross has plenty of twang, she also tosses in some ballads along with some Alt Country, all over some hard-won honesty and Rock’n’Roll rhythms. Jaime Wyatt comes out of the gate slowly, opening Neon Cross with the piano ballad “Sweet Mess”, followed by the driving title track. Jaime Wyatt croons ‘if I ain’t good at anything I do, well I guess I don’t need to do anything at all’ on Two-Stepper “L I V I N” while “Make Something Outta Me” and “Goodbye Queen” have a Country Rock charge with the former heavy on the Rock. Jaime Wyatt pulls things back with the cut “Just A Woman” which features Jessi Colter, and “Mercy”. “Rattlesnake Girl” kicks off with a Surf Rock charge before giving way to a bar-room bounce while “Hurt So Bad” is timeless Outlaw Country, Neon Cross closing with the emotionally tough-skin of “Demon Tied to a Chair in My Brain”. Jaime Wyatt is a commanding front-woman. Unafraid to lay it all out, Neon Cross is equally tough as nails record loaded with honesty. It is comfortable in the Country and Rock world, a honky-tonk record that dabbles around Rock, and a Rock record that pokes at twang.
