Free Music Review: I love it!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have never been a particular country music fan, but I have always been a Dixie Chicks fan.When I first heard this album, I was skeptical. It didn't sound much like their last album, "Fly", but after listening to it for a while, I have come to treasure this album as one of my all time favorites.
With no over-blown electric guitars or catchy pop oriented tunes that so many country albums seem to have these days, Home takes you back to a simpler sound, that enhances the lyrics and the melodies rather than detracts from it.
The playful "Long Time Gone" has you snapping your fingers as does "Lil' Jack Slade".
And it's ballads are equally as powerful, the gorgeous cover of Stevie Nicks "Landslide" is fantastic, as is the wonderful "Home" and the song "Top of the world" will leave a lump in your throat.
But my all time favorite has to be the beautiful lullaby "Godspeed" which will be sure to become a classic.
This album is worth every penny and I highly recommend it.
Free Music Review: I HAVE SEEN THE 5 Stars
OK, all I really knew of the Chicks before now was "Goodbye Earl", and as mean as Earl sounded, he was treated kind of mean.Well, maybe he deserved it after all.
A few days ago my co-worker (the lovely Lisa) brought her new copy of "HOME" to work. I had heard their version of Landslide
and was very impressed. She let me borrow the CD and when I got
home and listened to it with headphones and no ringing phones I
was stunned. No "Goodbye Earls" on this one, which I had passed
off as a novelty song. All of these songs are beautifully done,
the harmonies are great, even White Trash Wedding is good. Which
could easily be another "Earl" but the instruments sound great.
FYI, I am a 40 year old man, so I'm not sure where I fit in the
Chicks demographics. I have heard Faith Hill and Shania and they
hardly measure up, AND THEY ARE NOT These
girls are doing country/bluegrass the right way and I am now a
believer. Thanks Chicks for saving my musical year in the nick
of time.
Free Music Review: DON'T BUY THIS DISC......
Hit: 5 Stars
If you think Faith Hill & She-Daisy are the epitome of "Country Music", move on. This disc will surely disappoint you. HOWEVER, if a truly musical variety of bluegrass, acoustic in all it's glory is missing from your collection, this will be a prized pick for years to come. The musicianship is stellar, from Emily's awe-inspiring banjo, Martie's amazing fiddle, to the emotion and tonality of Natalie's vocal.
While the current releases out on radio ("Long Time Gone", "Traveling Soldier" & "Landscape") are delights, there are some other gems beneath the surface. "Truth No. 2" is so enveloping, with a force that builds through the song, forcing you to remember that the power comes from passionate acoustics, not over-dubbed, synthesized mush. "Lil' Jack Slade" will get you grinning from the musical talents showcased.
Will this get the same airplay as other "country" artists on today's Top 40 driven radio? I doubt it. But listen to this disc a few times through, and you may find yourself turning off the radio more and grabbing this disc.
Free Music Review: Good for the Chicks
Hit: 5 Stars
It is a pleasure to hear this album. I am so pleased that these women have the confidence to offer to the public, an album where they have taken some real risks-namely, recording song after song that express the tradional blugrass and country sound after so much exposure on mainstream country radio. Good for them! I was thinking, which song the country pop stations going to bite the bullet and play on the radio next? None of these offerings are going to mesh with the lukewarm and decaffeinated hits so prevalent today. As a result of this collection, maybe somebody will actually go out and on a whim, pick up a Merle Haggard album. The instrumentals that are scattered and emphasized all over this CD are excellent, and the level of mastery suberb. As I listened through song after song, I just could not help feeling grateful that they put aside any attempt at a track that would be a compromise. They stuck to their guns and produced, in my opinion, their best album yet, and certainly, an amazing contender for a grammy nomination across the board.Free Music Review: An Album Worth Every Penny
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a Chicks fan ever since I heard "Wide Open Spaces" and I've listened them mature musically over the years. I along w/all the other Chicks fans had long awaited the release of "Home". Hearing "Long Time Gone" for the first time on the radio made me hungry to hear the rest of this highly anticipated new album. I bought it on the day of its release and listened to it immediately. This album has exceeded all my expectations. This is truely one of the best albums I've ever heard. The gorgeous harmonies, the inspring and heart-wrenching lyrics, and the amazing musicianship are things I've never heard in my life. My favorite tracks are "Long time gone" which really makes me wanna get up and jam, "Landslide" which is just beautiful in every way, and "Travelin' Soldier" which is simply incredible in every sense of the word. Overall, I know I can say full heartedly that the Chicks have truely outdone themselves. This album is extraordinary.
