Free Music Notes for River Of Time

Free Music Review: An overlooked album
Hit: 5 Stars

The album yielded two number one country hits (Young love, Let me tell you about love). Most of the songs are originals but there are two covers. The first (Sleepless nights) is an Everly Brothers song (written for them by Boudleaux and Felice Bryant, who wrote several of their classic hits). Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Peter and Gordon, Norah Jones and Elvis Costello have also covered it. I've heard four of these six versions and they are all brilliant but the Judds' version is as good as the others. The second (Water of love) is a cover of a song by Mark Knopfler, leader of the British guitar-rockers Dire Straits. The other six songs (One man woman, Not my baby, River of time, Cadillac red, Do I dare, Guardian angel) are also of a high quality and offer plenty of variety. River of time is a wonderful ballad. Cadillac red is an up-tempo song. One-man woman is a bluesy mid-tempo song.

If you are a Judds fan - or a Wynonna fan - do not overlook this album. If you are a Dire Straits fan, perhaps you will want this to hear Mark Knopfler play electric guitar on Water of love.
