Hayes has always understood the hand-in-glove symbiosis between country and dance music, especially when the former is laced with a rocking edge. On his third album, the rangy Oklahoma baritone also displays a new command of vocal nuance and finesse. From the dizzying energy of the barn-burning title track to the emotional avalanche of "The Day That She Left Tulsa (in a Chevy)," When the Wrong One Loves You Right should propel Hayes from rising talent to star.
