Free Music Review: Neo-Traditional Country at its finest
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been reading alot of reviews claiming that this album is "too country" or that it may not be up to par with other albums. First of all you need to understand that George Strait is as country as it gets in modern times. He is not pop-country. To those who don't get the "Milk Cow Blues", because the words might not make sense, it could be because the song was writen as a blues in the 1920s by Kokomo Arnold. It was picked up and turned country by Bob Wills, and later turned into a rock song by Elvis Presley, and modernized by Aerosmith. The lyrics are not the key to the Milk Cow Blues, listen to the music. Pop country features many different forms of synthesizers now, as opposed to talented musicians. You will be long in search of a fiddler with the skill of Gene Elders, or the piano and steel guitar player with the ability of Ronny Huckaby and Mike Daily, respectively. Country music used to be about music, and George does a great job of keeping that tradition, which believe it or not still has appeal to many.
If you do not like the "Lovesick Blues", you may just not like country music. Try Keith Urban, Rascall Flatts, or Faith Hill, as pop-"country" may be more your style. Even Georges later albums including "It Just Comes Natural" has more of a pop-produced feel that you may be used to. This CD does include some of Straits better new material including the eerie ballads "If I Know Me", "Is It Already Time" and "The Chill Of An Early Fall".
However if you relish classic country, Bob Wills, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, and the like, "Home In San Antone"(another Bob Wills cover), "Her Only Bad Habit Is Me" and "Anything You Can Spare" are great additions to this Traditional style album and may be one of the best true country CDs of our time, making it is a must have for any true country fan.
Chill of an Early Fall Poster
This 1991 recording is notable for the rare appearance of George Strait's excellent road band, Ace in the Hole, on three tracks. Strait and the band romp through "Home in San Antone" and update Hank Williams updating Emmett Miller on the yodeling "Lovesick Blues." Best of all is Strait's version of "Milk Cow Blues," a Delta blues tune that became a favorite of Texas swing musicians in the 1930s. Strait has never sung with more style and soul on record. The rest of the album balances catchy contemporary country (the hit "You Know Me Better Than That") with more traditional fare (Harlan Howard's instant classic "Her Only Bad Habit Is Me"). --Rick MitchellCountry Music CDs
