Free Music Notes for Nashville

Free Music Review: BRILLIANT
Hit: 5 Stars

I'll take this song by song,

Track1, It's the nighttime - It's like entering a studio and hearing a rather exhuberant refreshing voice singing a song you can't wait to hear again after it ends. It get you into the mood for the rest of the cd

Track2, Winter in The Hamptons - Surprisingly beautiful start, upbeat, somewhat incomplete chorus

Track3, Streetlights - The first moodshift. Instantly makes you a part of a beautiful photograph with it's subtle vocal influenced difference. "I Can't just meet in the corner and act like we're old friend..." Says it all [a very original track, immediately resuscitates my mood]

Track4, Carolina - An OK generic track not meant for my ears. He mentions the word "Nashville" in this song for the first time on the record

Track5, Middle School Frown - A definite stand out track for me, I love the song title this man employs. "Middle School Frown" is a semi nostalgic mood battle a man is fighting. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. *makes me go numb*

Track6, My Love Has Gone - Okay fellas! I'm gonna stand up on my chair and announce this is the best song on the cd. It's the first track I heard from this album and is simply achingly beautifully sung. The music is superb, the vocals are original, this man is a star

Track7, Saturday - Phew! This is gonna be difficult cause with every passing song I'm sounding more like an enthusiastic teenager who's got his first musical uplift. (Im 21) Let's just say this song is perfect for every person out there interested in this album

Track8, Sad eyes - Beautiful mood compliment of a song. I dont need to describe it, just read the title , yet another stand out

Track9, Why Won't You Tell Me What - Piano Jazzy start, you feel like you're sitting in a recording studio while contemplating the end of the record (haha) Nothing special for me. Maybe a weak track. He doesnt need backup vocals but gets it anyway

Track 10, Life - Acoustic start. This song reminds me of Ben Lee. Ben Lee is a great,great artist if you check out his new album, "Awakae is the new sleep" Anyhow Life is a good song but not a stand out cause NASHVILLE offers way too much musical depth and creativity. On Life, Mouth organ makes a comeback and it's like the credits rolling. Lyrics are worth learning up

Overall Rating for the album - 9/10

Should you buy this? Yes
Should you recommend this? No, unless it's to a loved one and you like sharing emotions.

Nashville Poster

Nashville is filled with an atmosphere reminiscent of Neil Young?s "Harvest" and Bob Dylan?s "Nashville Skyline." His special affection for that city in Tennessee is played through a more elegant palette. From the pedal steel in "It?s the Nighttime" to the haunting strings in "Streetlights" to the fragile piano intro of "Sad Eyes," Josh has pulled out all the stops on this album.
Don't be fooled by the title of Josh Rouse's fifth solo album. Yes, the singer-songwriter lived in the commercial country music capital for nearly a decade. Yes, he has been known to use the occasional pedal steel guitar. And okay, there is a soft southern lilt to his voice. But there are no rhinestone-studded cowboy hats or tattered American flags to be found in this "Nashville," an album of gentle AM radio nostalgia and understated folk-rock beauty. Influenced in equal parts by Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, and the Smiths, Rouse moves gracefully between intimate acoustic ballads ("Saturday") and handclap-drenched pop songs ("Winter In The Hamptons"), all the while delivering more personality and deft songwriting than his platinum-certified neighbors could ever conceive. -- Aidin Vaziri
No, Josh Rouse hasn't gone country. Despite the steel guitar of studio veteran Al Perkins snaking through four of these cuts, Rouse's music retains the pop bounce and sunny romanticism (tempered with heart-on-sleeve vulnerability) that make John Mayer sound like Jon Spencer by comparison. Recorded as a fond farewell to Nashville--the city where the Nebraska native has lived for the past decade--the album could serve as a sequel to Rouse's previous release, 1972. With the Bowiesque phrasing of "Middle School Frown" and "Sad Eyes," the plaintive, Neil Young-style harmonica of "My Love Has Gone," and the soulful reverie of "Saturday," Rouse runs the gamut of retro influences from what his music celebrates as a more innocent era. He's even divided the CD into a (poppier) side A and a (moodier) side B, where the propulsive insistence of "Why Won't You Tell Me" provides a change of pace from the laid-back intimacy that prevails. Throughout the album, the stripped-down, largely acoustic arrangements behind Rouse's wispy voice add to the sing-song charm. --Don McLeese
