Hit: 5 Stars
What an absolute treasure!! This is the album true country music fans should add to their collection. Bobby's storytelling is absolutely fabulous. His voice is capitivating.
The fact the album is not over produced just enhances the true talent the Bobby Pinson possesses.
His music takes a look at rural life, and the joys many of us enjoyed growing up. "Started A Band" is a humorous, yet auto-biographical look at doing what you love, regardless of the struggles you face and the criticism you receive. The message is simple, "Don't give up on your dreams." No one can miss the message in "Don't Ask Me How I Know." The rest of the album is memories of then and now. And don't give up on the album until you hear, "Jesus Loves Me." An old church standard with children, he once again delivers the message that it applies as much now as it did when you were a child. It also shows just what a down to earth, simple man he is.
Man Like Me Poster
"A John Deere tractor with an airplane engine" best describes Bobby?s explosive mixture of country roots, rock ?n? roll energy and down-to-earth lyrics that springs from his heart. His debut album on RCA Nashville features 11 songs penned by Bobby including his first hit "Don't Ask Me How I Know".Threading his way through 11 tunes penned with collaborators, Texas native Pinson's gravelly, twangy voice sets him apart, as do his slice-of-life vignettes evocative of John Mellencamp. Celebrating a tiny hamlet's vagaries in "Nothin' Happens in This Town" and an ancient car in "Ford Fairlane," Pinson stands apart by celebrating responsibility and common sense as opposed to the usual honky-tonk hellraising. While "Don't Ask Me How I Know" strings together clichéd homilies, its simple, clever structure renders it surprisingly effective. The same applies to "Man Like Me," a tune lauding adult behavior, and to the haunting teen tragedy ballad "I Thought That's Who I Was." Pinson, however, is anything but a pious stuffed shirt. While "Shadows of the Heartland" is way too cut and dried, in the unconventional gospel tune "One More Believer" he sings of a convert who remains as sardonic as he is honest. "Time Well Spent" unabashedly celebrates youthful partying. By refusing to parrot radio-friendly formulas, Pinson's blend of grit and simplicity result in a remarkable first effort. --Rich Kienzle
