Free Music Review: Charlie Robison At The Top Of His Game
Hit: 5 Stars

I've only discovered Charlie in the last year or so, but I've caught up quick, buying each of his albums and I have to say that this CD is by far Charlie's strongest record to date.

Charlie evolves in this record, and I think that's the cause of so many people feeling Charlie "sold out" which just is not the case. Charlie has said that he made the album he wanted to make, and Sony said they gave him full control over the product. It was even rumored that the label had called Charlie on occassion asking to hear the songs at which time he hung up on them.

Charlie has attitude, and it comes through here. Songs like "The Preacher" and "John O'Reilly" make this disc one of the best of the year. "The Preacher" is a song about religion in a very small town, where everyone knows what's going on. It's a very interesting take on how people can be fooled and blinded about the things they believe.

"John O'Reilly" is an Irish rocker, similiar to some of the stuff that Steve Earle has recorded. It even has a bit of a Pogues feel to it. It is a song that stretches the boundaries for both Charlie Robison and Country Music as a whole.

Other standouts on the disc are "Tonight" which was written by Charlie's brother Bruce and "The Wedding Song," a duet with Dixie Chick Natalie Maines. "The Wedding Song" tells the story of a normal relationship, and how things aren't all Champagne and dreams. There's even a line at the end of the song that pokes a little fun at one of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's duets.

I applaud Charlie for taking chances, and in this case he produced one of the best discs in my collection. It's a disc that has everything you could want from a Texas singer-songwriter, and a little bit more!
