Clay Walker is one of those artists who has a tendency to keep bouncing back. After a strong streak for most of the 1990s on Giant Records, he fell off sharply once the label was folded into Warner Bros., then moved from there to RCA for one album before jumping to Asylum-Curb to release Fall in 2007...

Donâ??t be alarmed if you pick up country veteran Clay Walkerâ??s new album, She Wonâ??t Be Lonely Long, and a few loose pieces of dirt roll off the country croonerâ??s familiar face. Walkerâ??s first collection of songs in three years sounds like it was dug up from a backyard time capsule, most likely found alongside a red Power Rangers doll, step-by-step instructions for "The Rachel" haircut and a Zack Morris-sized cell phone...

Walker has no distinct
personality on record save an occasional vocal similarity to
Clint Black or Mark Chesnutt that is evidenced by his album Hypnotize the Moon. That means he's only as memorable
as his songs, and in this case, that's enough. Whether you favor
the Haggardesque ''Let Me Take the Heartache (Off Your Hands)'' or
the MOR title ballad, he's one cookie-cutter sensation who isn't
likely to crumble.

By the time he recorded Rumor Has It, Clay Walker had settled into a comfortable formula of radio-ready country-pop and honky tonk, and he had ceased to experiment with his music. Which isn't a bad thing, because Walker is a consummate professional able to make even mediocre material sound good. Rumor Has It may not be among his very best, yet there are enough strong moments to make it worthwhile for most fans.

Of Clay Walker's first six albums, four went platinum and two went gold. Say No More, lucky number seven, seems destined for the same fate. This 11-track collection of inspirational prose about life and love covers everything from dreams to regret to tough times, but the common thread is love. In fact, the sensitivity on this album is so expressive that it makes you want to run right out and hug the one you love. The album's title track is an awesome song about falling out of love...

Clay Walker didn't last long at RCA Records -- just one album, 2003's A Few Questions, which found the Texan at his smoothest and poppiest, yet that didn't result in anything more than modest chart success. He parted ways with the label and signed with Curb, releasing Fall in the spring of 2007. Fall doesn't drastically depart from the sound of A Few Questions, but there's a crucial difference: it's produced by Keith Stegall, best known as the man who helmed hits by Alan Jackson...

Clay Walker's Hypnotize the Moon is his most assured, cohesive album to date. Walker shines on both polished, contemporary ballads and gritty traditional country, and his consistently excellent performance is what carries the album over the weak spots.
