Ready, Willing and Able (album)
Ready, Willing and Able is the second album of American country music singer Daron Norwood. It was released on March 28, 1995 via Giant Records. The album's singles, "Bad Dog, No Biscuit" and "My Girl Friday", failed to reach the Top 40 on the Hot Country Songs chart. Content
The title track was later recorded by Lari White on her 1996 album Don't Fence Me In. White's version was a number 20 hit on the country charts that year. "Between the Stone and Jones" was later recorded by Thrasher Shiver on their self-titled debut album. "There'll Always Be a Honky Tonk Somewhere" was originally recorded by Randy Travis on his 1986 debut album Storms of Life. Critical reception
Chris Dickinson of New Country magazine gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, saying that Norwood's voice was "straightforward and honest". He also praised the "pumped-up production" and stated that the album had "plenty of hooks", but called "Bad Dog, No Biscuit" "dopey" and "When Mama Cried" derivative of "Love Without End, Amen".
