Free Music Review: I Can't Unlove This Album
Hit: 5 Stars
My Mum and I love this album! It really is a great piece of work. "My Petition" is one of the stand-out tracks, about a young man who who knocks on Kenny's door and asks him to sign his petition to the president: "Make a law where Daddies don't work late/Keep Uncle Joe and those soldiers safe/Give those kids on TV all they want to eat/Put a stop to bullies on the bus/No crime, no aids, no hate, no drugs/Give a jacket and a job to people on the street".
The title track is really good as well, about an unborn child and how an abortion is all water under a bridge.
Another outstanding track is the hit "I Can't Unlove You": "I can't unthink about you/I can't unfeel your touch/I can't unsay all the words/Undo all the things/That used to mean so much/I wish I could unremember/Everything my hearts been through ... I can't unlove you."
"The Last Ten Years (Superman)" is a great, powerful track about all that's happened in the last ten years and all the people who have died - even Christopher Reeve. "We lost George Harrison, John Paul and June Carter Cash/We even lost Superman".
All in all, a remarkable album with some fine wordsmiths and songwriters. Kenny's vocals are intimate throughout.
Put simply: I can't unlove this album!
Water & Bridges Poster
Could Kenny Rogers be a continuous, viable presence on country radio today? Probably not. In 1999, "Buy Me a Rose" made him the oldest artist to reach #1 in the history of the country charts. And to the contemporary tattoo-and-tank-top record buyers, that rates the Gambler a great-grandfather--hey, maybe as old as Hank Williams, ya think? Nonetheless, Water and Bridges, his first studio effort in three years, is an impressive comeback. Produced by Dann Huff (Faith Hill, Keith Urban), who keeps the backing leaner than you might expect, the album spotlights a mature man looking back and surveying his life with clear-eyed honesty and more than a little regret. What strikes a listener most is both the quality of songs (by such veteran writers as Craig Wiseman, Annie Roboff, and Mike Reid) and how authentic and soulful Rogers seems throughout, particularly in dealing with the recurring theme of loss. Whether contemplating a long-ago abortion, a lifelong rift with a parent, or the tug of home--even when home is no longer there--Rogers always underplays the sentiment, adding weight to his pathos. "The Last 10 Years (Superman)" and "The Petition" seem a little too obvious and maudlin, but Huff and Rogers make up for it with the extraordinary "You'll Know Love," a sophisticated and anguished ballad of nearly paralyzing grief. Call it just one of many surprises on this album of unexpected and serious depth. --Alanna NashCountry Music CDs
