Free Music Notes for Del Rio Texas 1959
Free Music Review: Landmark album...
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a Radney Foster fan back to the Foster and Lloyd days, but this album is his masterpiece. It is great from beginning to end. There isn't a bad song on it. Foster has a purity to his style that isn't found often. He manages to mix rock and roll with Texas swing in such an effortless style that it's hard to tell he did it. It's just Radney. He is a true artist. I like his style, too.
My favorite songs on the album are: "Easier Said Than Done", "Went for a Ride", and "Nobody Wins". I'll review them specifically to explain why they're so great.
"Easier Said Then Done" is a heartbreaking song about a breakup. It has some great hooks. "You can't make I love you mean what it used to. It's easier said than done," is a great line. Radney's voice and the regret in it are palpable. It's impossible not to feel for this man who destroyed his relationship to the point that there's no coming back. It touched my soul.
"Went for a Ride" is a historical song contrasting the real west with the mythical west. There are a lot of things in this song that are almost never mentioned in popular culture. I love historical songs, and this one is among the best. It does a terrific job of showing that real life wasn't like the movies. If the last verse and bridge don't move you, you can't be moved. "She stole my heart. Age stole the fire. They stole my prairie when they strung all that wire." That's beautiful songwriting.
"Nobody Wins" is the opposite of "Easier Said". It's a way to go back. It's about a man who's tired of fighting because fighting is pointless and simply calls a truce. Nobody wins. I've used this song personally...and it works.
I hope you buy this album and like it. I've chosen to spotlight my favorites, but all of the songs are great. I don't think you'll regret it if you like good music.
