Free Music Notes for When Somebody Loves You

Free Music Review: Solid Album with Classic Alan Sound! Loved it!
Hit: 5 Stars

Alan Jackson's Election Day release of "When Somebody Loves You" brings eleven songs with the heart and soul of traditional country, a nod to the technology age as well as a wink to his collaboration of "Murder on Music Row." The album is strong with the familiar sounding Jackson twang and tempo while bringing out his songwriting skills yet again.

Alan sings a country ballad like no other

The title track, "When Somebody Loves You" is sure to be Jackson's next ballad hit. It gives you a sense that Jackson has learned a few of lives lessons especially when it comes to the feeling between a man and a woman. In the ballad, "I Still Love You" it brings back memories to anyone who has broken up with someone and felt a sense of unrest or inability to move on. Jackson's third ballad, "Maybe I Should Stay Here" stirs in references to Jack Daniels and Estee Lauder in only a way that Jackson can do to keep the song country instead of pop.

Alan brings his familar twang songs to this album

Although I believe that Jackson can put more heart and soul into a country ballad than most of his contemporaries, he also doesn't fail to entertain us on this album with his own special brand of redneck songs. With his "Meat and Potato Man" describing his simple country needs to "It's Alright To Be A Redneck" declaring to the world that rednecks everywhere need not be ashamed.

Classic traditional country sound

Throw in a few Jackson standards such as "The Thrill Is Back," "Life or Love." and "Where I Come From" and you have a classic traditional country album.

And if just to prove that he didn't have anything to do with the Murder on Music Row's reference to country becoming too pop, Jackson offers a "Three Minute Positive Not Too Country Up-Tempo Love Song" that will have you singing and tapping along from the beginning.

The only nod to the current times is the current rising song, "www.memory" written by Jackson this summer. The song's video is already a top 12 hit on CMT.

"When Somebody Loves You" is another solid effort from Jackson and one that you won't regret owning. Some albums I listen to I have a hard time figuring out which track is going to be the next single because most of the tracks aren't "catchy." With this album, I'm having a hard time picking a favorite track because they are all excellent!
