Free Music Notes for Man Like Me
Free Music Review: Country, with raw soul
Hit: 5 Stars
I was first introduced to Bobby Pinson when his song Don't Ask Me How I Know made it into the country charts. Great song, but not enough to get me to buy a full CD. Then I saw him live at a Ten Man Jam session in Houston about three years ago. Whoa...he blew away the house with a really soulful version of Man Like Me. I bought everything he had out at the time, and Man Like Me is still in my car's CD player three years later - it never gets rotated out of the mix. He writes his own music with incredible clarity, insight, humor, and honesty, and delivers it in a gritty, soulful, "this is who I am and this is where I've been" way. Lot of pain, lot of growth, lot of hope and gratitude. Such is life, spelled out in a way that touches the listener to the core. Buy anything you can find of his. He's now co-writing with Toby Keith (She Never Cried in Front of Me) and co-wrote Sugarland's All I Wanna Do, but hearing Bobby sing his own works is a stellar experience.
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
