If AMERICAN CHILD weren't a product of the Nashville studio scene, much of it would probably not bring the words "country music" to most people's minds. Even compared to such peers as Tim McGraw, Phil Vassar often seems more aligned to the adult rock of Don Henley or the radio-ready pop of Bryan Adams than to anything with a cowboy hat (which is thankfully absent from Vassar's head in the album art). Once in a while, though, Vassar does show his roots, and when he does get country he makes no bones about it, a perfect example being the almost preternaturally clever "Athens Grease," a pun fiesta that's about a Georgia mechanic, not the Grecian city.
