Two Teardrops

Amazon.com
After a string of country-pop hits in the '80s, Steve Wariner seemed to settle into a journeyman's rut until 1998's heart-tugging "Holes in the Floor of Heaven" (and its album, Burnin' the Roadhouse Down) delivered the biggest success of his career. Not surprisingly, Wariner has chosen to go with the emotional flow on this ballad-heavy follow-up. Both the title-track single and "I'm Already Taken" (a remake of his debut recording from 1978) cross the line where sentiment becomes sap, while too much of the rest is bland at best. For variety's sake, the 15 selections include a duet with Bryan White on the cornball "Talk to Her Heart," a cover of Rod Stewart's "For the First Time," and an album-closing instrumental, "The Harry Shuffle," that showcases Wariner's nimble guitar picking. --Don McLeese

My very first Country contact.......2000-11-10

On vacation in California, TWO TEARDROPS was my first contact with country music, which is in Germany still known as "Country and Western", but this new sound was really new for me. I didn't get this album title song out of my mind, so I bought this CD. Song after song I have to say that this kind of music would be very easy to export, but there are only limited efforts to do this. I really can't understand, why Steve Wariner is well known in the US, but absolutely unknown in Europe. I will go and buy more music of him.

Two Teardrops . . . . Five Stars.......2000-05-15

I am an avid Steve Wariner fan, but even if I weren't, in my opinion this IS the country music album of 1999. How is it possible to follow-up a smash hit like "Holes In the Floor of Heaven"? Multi-talented Steve has answered that question with this great CD. The record is well balanced between upbeat rockers, slower ballads, throw in a couple of mid-tempo numbers and "The Harry Shuffle", an instrumental done a la Chet Atkins. Steve teams up with Bryan White on "Talk To Her Heart" and Steve's son Ryan makes his debut by playing guitar on "So Much". Look for two songs co-written by Steve & Marcus Hummon ("So Much" and "Cry No More"), who I feel is one of today's top songwriters. And the title track, written by Steve & Bill Anderson, shows Steve's songwriting skills at their best. No matter what your taste in country music is, you can't go wrong with this CD. A must have.

His Best Album Since The 80's.......2000-02-12

Having Been a fan of "older" Steve Wariner songs such as "Kansas City Lights", "Lonely Women Make Good Lovers", "Your Memory" and "By Now" from several years ago, I didn't quite care for Steve much in the 90's with the exceptions of certain songs such as "Drivin' And Cryin" and "It Won't Be Over You". But with this album that I took a chance on buying for the hit single "Two Teardrops", hoping that it wouldn't be the only good song on the album.

Was I glad I got it! The title track only hinted at the catchy songs on this album. This has got to be the best album of Steve's career. I was really impressed with so many good songs and only a few throwaways. The other catchy tunes here are "Hands Of Time", "You Be My Everything", "I've Been In That Movie", "Talk To Her Heart", "So Much", "That's The Love For You", "Cry No More", "Since You Walked Away" and "For The First Time". As You can see this is a very good CD and worth the money.

Hopefully radio will be willing to play these hits. Steve must be one of the most talented guys in Nashville as he is the "Eddie Van Halen" of Country music with his guitar playing, he can write hit songs and he can sing with the best of them. You won't see Steve disappearing anytime soon.

Two tear drop.......2000-01-24

The most underated country star in the business..........2000-01-24

Steve Wariner is the most underated and under appreciated star in country music today. He has been making consistently great music for more than 20 years now. I have every album he has ever made and my favorites are Two Teardrops, I Am Ready and Drive. He is a phenomenal guitar player (he used to be a studio musician) and a great singer (even though he says he's not a great singer). I am a singer and I love to sing his music. No wonder Bryan White mentored with Steve. You can keep Alan Jackson, George Strait, Kenny Chesney and the rest of those hokey wanna-be's. Steve Wariner is the real thing. He is the best country has to offer!
