Nashville's fires continue to burn with the next generation of hot country artists. The vibrant David Kersh is as bright a star as any and proves it with IF I NEVER STOP LOVING YOU. His strong, clear voice seems to burst off the disc and command attention as Kersh croons and struts his way through eleven tracks of country power ballads and dance floor rockers. A likely disciple of the George Strait/Randy Travis school of country, Kersh can sell it all with just a subtle smile in his voice and a gleam in his eye.
All the tracks on this outing are strong contenders including a countrified cover of Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight." The title track even touches on a southwestern feel for all the fans down El Paso way. Top notch performances throughout the rest of the collection include the fast-paced "The Sudden Stop" and the heartache of "I Breathe In, I Breathe Out." The raucous closer "The Faster I Go" gives Kersh a chance to kick up his heels and turn loose with all the fun and excitement he can muster.
