 | | In this case, the job for the honky-tonk Texan is to return some creative daring, roadhouse energy, and edgy humor to the contemporary country mainstream, where male artistry in particular has been suffering from the cookie-cutter blands. |
 | | Not quite as rebellious as the previous Life of the Party, Step Right Up is more radio-friendly, giving Robison a better chance of balancing alt-country credibility and commercial country hits than any artist this side of Dwight Yoakam. |
 | | STEP RIGHT UP is much more of a rock album than either of the albums Robison has done so far, though it does include doses of pure honky-tonk, a little radio-friendly, mid-tempo country, a couple of alt-country ballads, and even a shot at an Irish folk-style tune ("John O'Reilly"). |
