Free Music Notes for Tales of the New West
Free Music Review: Choices and Consequences
Hit: 5 Stars
First let me say that I admire Buddy Jewell as a writer and singer and from the first episode of Nashville Star I knew he would be the winner because he had more talent than all the others combined. Next, I know that tens of thousands of women (and some men) across this great country of ours are devout Buddy fans, after all, he got more than 3 million votes to win. The problem is that often those choices by mostly women and some men of zeroing in on an artist and being a confirmed fan can frequently become "FANantical". They have their own little click going and when they see or hear something they don't like about thier "IDOL" they pick apart the songs or singers or writers without giving any thought as to how hurtful their words are. These writers didn't all go to work one day, put in eight hours, then go home with a finished CD. I know the Coreys and all four of them are very friendly, honest, gentle and kindhearted people. I'm proud to be their frined. The cruely inflicted by "fanatical fans" have long reaching consequences that can be viciously cruel and painfully hurtful but I imagine their negative comments come from their own insecurities. All one has to do is read the remarks inside the CD label made by Buddy himself about how proud he was to be a part of the Corey's project and how great the writing and songs were. Buddy also says these are ALL songs he would have chosen on his own to record. The Tales of the New West CD is NOT a demonstrational (demo) quality product. It is a full A+ quality product that deserves no less than a major label, major artist and half a dozen videos and airplay all across the country. Buddy was paid handsomely, and much more than any Nashville label would have paid him to do the project. After the initial pressing the demand became huge and when additional copies were pressed Buddy was paid more than 75% higher commison off of each unit than he got for his own debut album, which by the way, is not nearly as good as Tales of the New West. Buddy's biggest problem is that he can't get out of his own way long enough to become the superstar right up there with Toby, Chesney, Jackson. McGraw and all the others that he deserves to be. Buddy is his own worst enemy and is slowly fading his three minutes of fame into obscurity with unwise moves. His latest single peaked at number 17 then fell off the charts all together. I only pray that since Buddy is determined to make foolish and unwise decisions that just maybe a "REAL" star will listen to Tales of the New West and negotiate a deal with the Coreys to release the album in its entirety. Chesney, Urban and McGraw could also be dynamite candidates for Corey songs. The songs that Buddy should have done immediately upon winning Nashville Star. He would have had around seven number ones off of the CD and then he could have followed it up with his two independent albums which would have also been double platinum for him. Instead he sold his soul to Sony and let the likes of Clint Black, Tracy Gershon and Sony execs tell him: sing this one, sing that one, do it like this,do it like that, you're finished, go home. Buddy should have taken a lesson from Toby and struck a deal with the Coreys and Sony to release Tales of the New West, he would have been a millionaire by now. Buddy stuck me as being an intelligent and not afraid to speak up when I watched him every Saturday night but right after the show he sold himself to the people that know less about making good country music than a kindergarten child would know. Clint Black may be a good singer, but a producer he is NOT!!!!! When you hear men and women say negative and hurtful things about this album, just remember how PROUD that Buddy was before he sold out to Sony. When women fan members say cruel things that they hear from gossip and have no true and personal knowledge of, well, you figure it out, it hurts. What we have here is a wonderful singer that doesn't have the good sense to stand up to Sony to produce a great album like Tales of the New West, and we have four wonderful people, the writers, that have done nothing wrong but are being criticized unfairly and unjustly by people that don't know the truth. It's sad, but true. So go to Walmart or Amazon and buy this great album and see for yourself how wonderful it is. The Corey's only write wonderful songs, and this was years and years of hard work, with writes and rewrites and then more rewrites until they acheived perfection, along with Dennis Kahler. Don't trust hurtful people that make poor choices for they will surely somewhere down the line pay the consequences for their unkind words in haste. Its a great CD that any record major label would be proud to gladly release if they would take the time to listen to in its entirety. Jason Meadows or George Canyon could do that CD just as good as Buddy who doesn't want to ackowledge it since he sold himself to Sony and they own him. Sad, sad, sad! Such a loss. The Coreys are honest, kind, hardworking people, so you remember that the next time people say unkind comments. I'm PROUD to call the Corey's my friends. I would buy anything they wrote and if I lived in Nashville I would take a copy to every record label because no big name star in his right mind would take a listen and then turn it down, they know a moneymaker when they hear it and Tales of the New West is definitely a moneymaker.
