Free Music Notes for The Metropolitan Hotel

Free Music Review: Not her greatest work
Hit: 2 Stars

As much as I love Chely Wright, and DANG SHE IS BEAUTIFUL, I can't give this album the two thumbs up I wish I could. I am a big fan and loved the album Single White Female, and Let Me In, but I don't think this album was up to that level. I am a fan of Crossover Country Music--the not so twangy kind, so those are my musical tastes. Chely Wright has a signature style of telling a story with a song--kind of like Garth Brooks. However, the story doesn't always hold together well, or rhyme well, or make a good song. Back of the Bottom Drawer was probably the best song-but it's not enough to justify buying the whole album IMO. That said, I love Chely Wright, but this is not her finest work. You might be better off buying Let Me In if you don't have that one.

The Metropolitan Hotel Poster

The centerpiece to this sixth album by soulful country balladeer Chely Wright is "The Bumper of My S.U.V.," a song about the sort of patriotism that runs deeper than partisan sniping and that will therefore likely hit home with listeners on all sides of the political divide. As the album's primary producer and songwriter, Wright takes control of her artistry here, with material that has more depth and a sound that is less polished than what often dominates the airwaves. The narrative ambition of Wright's "The River," which features Vince Gill providing vocal counterpoint, merits comparison with the Bruce Springsteen song of the same title, while the prickly relationship detailed in "Between a Mother and a Child" is too painful not to ring true. Lightening the mood is a romp through Chuck Berry's "C'est La Vie (You Never Can Tell)." With the opening "It's the Song" (written by Bonnie Baker and Katrina Elam), Wright puts the emphasis on the strength of the material, and proceeds to deliver, with a selection devoid of filler. --Don McLeese
