Free Music Notes for Dangerous Man
Free Music Review: FACM ( French Association of Country Music )
Hit: 4 Stars
There's no more excellent surprise than that new album from Trace Adkins. It his best with very powerful rock rhythms like in "dangerous man", "ladies love country boys" and the sublime "swing" (whose chorus strangely sounds like Trent Tomlinson's "hey batter batter"!). But the ballads are still there and we can see that with "the stubborn one". Our favorite remains the spell binding melody of "the southern Hallelujah". Of course, the best studio musicians are there (Bryan sutton, Pat Buchannan, Paul Franklin). Excellent sound, excellent production and furthermore, the Cd exists in a limited version with a DVD which includes songs like "Honky tonk badonkadonk", "Arlington", "and "Swing" in video version. Nope, nothing to throw away. A good production but beware ! Trace Adkins is a "Dangerous man" !

I love this CD! The lyrics really hit home and the melodies are wonderful. I love the diversity of his music; everything from country to blues to rock. And his deep voice is AWESOME! I never used to like country music, but after hearing Trace Adkins, I listen to it all the time. I'm a convert! Free Music Review: Dangerous is GOOD

"Dangerous Man" will position Trace Adkins as one of contemporary music's most influential musicians. This is not an error of omission that " country" is left out of the description, for Mr. Adkins's music style is iconoclastic of our era. From the moment when seemingly out of nowhere the first note of the title song is solidly hit: Southern Rock and R&B are solidly fused. There is no lack of clarity or ambiguity in any of the work. This collection is performed with energy, intent and integrity.
Trace Adkins earns musical respect in this endeavor. There is nothing cookie- cutter in this work, other than the possible exception of the closing video mix of Honky-Tonk Bodonkadonk, which looses something in the translation to pop. Too often missing from contemporary music: there are actual crescendos and changes of tempo. There are changes of mood appropriate to the individual songs recorded. Scales are climbed like a Stair Master, slid down with the ease of a child at a park and jumped around with equal pleasure. Mr. Adkin's is known for his bottom scraping low notes: but it used to be easy to forget his vocal range competes with Josh Turner's. The major difference is that Josh Turner is more old school smooth, while Mr. Adkins delivers lines with more edge and bravado.
One of the most satisfying aspects of Mr. Adkins's music is his ability to convey masculine emotion that is neither condescending nor disrespectful of women. Like Sally Field might say, "He likes us! He really likes us." As importantly, it is absolutely clear that there is nothing more powerful than a specific man bonding to a specific woman.
In "Dangerous Man", the artist projects the image of a masculine man being so in love with a specific woman that she has power over him that is totally out of his control. The tension of desire and power shifted from one lover to the other is palpably seductive. Our culture has been pretty open about women liking their men just a little dangerous: and this song explains it from the other side. Men like the romance of being swept by "chemistry" just as much as we do.
" Ladies Love Country Boys" is a very up-tempo. It is a happy-ending and loving look at a suburban family sending their properly raised daughter to continue the ride of upward mobility. But the biggest lesson may be for her parents when she brings home the truth she learned while she was away. Happiness doesn't come from status.
"Swing" is a drinking-song metaphor of guys picking up girls in a bar being like going in to the batter's box. You are usually going to strike out: but you have to go up to the plate to be in the game.
"Ain't No Woman Like You" is straight Memphis Blues, complete with horns. In it the man is declaring the depth of his love. He may not have been around the world, but he's been around the block, and he doesn't have to look any farther.
"I Wanna Feel Something" is the defining song that explains why so many of my generation have found a musical home in the genre of Country Music. I'm 50ish and did not grow up liking Country Music. If my husband had turned it on early in our marriage, it would have been "grounds" and I don't mean as in coffee. But a long the way we become jaded to the relative easiness of modern suburban life and we yearn to feel something. We want to feel the wonder of youth when we breathe in the wonder of every day life and of each other. We don't always like what we find ourselves becoming as we get older and we want to heal. Country Music, helps us return to our better selves.
And with that I will close with the last word sung on "Southern Hallelujah" - Amen

Hit: 5 Stars
I have loved Trace Adkins from the first time I heard him sing. He just keeps getting better and better. His latest album shows his ability to sing songs that appeal to all types of country music fans. From the "Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams era of music fans to the more current country singers such as Jason Aldean, Billy Currington, Keith Urban, etc. I'm ready for a live album next, that would be fantastic! I give this album a 5++++++ there is not one song on it that I don't like. I've listened to the CD constantly since it's release. Keep up the good work Trace. Looking forward to seeing you in October!
