Content
The tracks "My Baby No Está Aquí No More", "She Don't Care About Me", and "I'd Rather Have Nothing" were later recorded by
Garth Brooks on his album The Lost Sessions, while "
Travelin' Soldier" — originally cut in 1996 by its writer,
Bruce Robison — would become a Number One country hit in 2003 when the
Dixie Chicks released it. Also included is a re-recording of England's 1995 hit "Should've Asked Her Faster", re-recorded here with
Steve Wariner as a guest musician.
Giving it 3 out of 5 stars, Maria Konicki Dinoia of
Allmusic wrote that "What England does lack is vocal enthusiasm, but he makes up for it in originality. Produced by his college buddy
Garth Brooks, Highways & Dancehalls [sic] is a verifiable reprieve from the bubble gum music we've gotten used to hearing on radio".[1]
