“Talk Is Cheap” is a Blue Highway original, written by the band’s bassist and singer Wayne Taylor. Blue Highway, formed in the mid-1990s, built its reputation largely on songs written by its own members, and the group released this one in 2014 on the album “The Game,” where it served as the lead single.
The song turns on the gap between words and deeds. The singer has heard one promise too many, and the lyric measures a person not by what they say but by what they do, returning again to the plain idea that talk is cheap.
“Talk Is Cheap” reached the top of bluegrass radio charts and helped “The Game” gather wide notice.
