In the mid-to-late '80s, when country music was largely divided between roots-conscious New Traditionalists and slick, commercialized mainstream artists, Ricky Van Shelton scored a bull's eye by playing it straight down the middle. His debut album, WILD-EYED DREAM, did not lack for pure honky-tonk flavor, as evidenced by such tracks as "Baby, I'm Ready" and the Merle Haggard classic "Working Man Blues." By the same token, when he digs his deep, rich voice into a sentimental ballad like "Life Turned Her That Way," no expense is spared in backing him with a high-gloss arrangement worthy of Billy Sherrill in his '70s prime. With his heartthrob image (check the come-hither look and sleeveless T-shirt he sports on the cover) and broad appeal, Van Shelton made a big name for himself before the Garth Brooks era changed the game, and this is the album that propelled him to stardom.
