 (5 Customer Reviews)
Holy is one of the best of the latest crop of country neo-traditionalists, the possessor of a spine-tingling falsetto that he uses judiciously in most of the songs here. It's shown to best advantage on "Just a Kiss," a '50s style ballad (complete with tinkling piano) that deliberately recalls Roy Orbison; somewhere, Chris Isaak must be turning green with envy.
Not surprisingly, the best things here are the ballads, including the achingly beautiful title song, although Holy also proves surprisingly adept at an old fashioned honky-tonker like "Tear One." The most remarkable track is "Someone's Out to Get Me," in which somebody (presumably producer Wilbur Rimes) was nervy enough to underscore the paranoia of the lyrics with deliberately cornball audio effects, including what sounds like the gong from the old J. Arthur Rank movies.

| | Joe Nichols Man With A Memory CD (2002)
Blue Moon CD music
$6.69
If you think that photogenic young country singer Joe Nichols looks more like a Calvin Klein model than a honky-tonk warrior, just count your blessings that he doesn't feel bound to don an ill-fitting cowboy hat in the vain quest for the kind of phony image purveyed by far too many of his peers. Similarly, MAN WITH A MEMORY finds Nichols unafraid of sounding contemporary without completely abandoning ...

Blue Moon music CDs
$6.09
"She's My Kind Of Rain" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
Tim McGraw has sold millions of records by shuttling between pleasantly cornpone neo-honky tonk and Mark Wills/John Michael Montgomery-style lite-pop balladry. With TIM MCGRAW AND THE DANCEHALL DOCTORS, however, the singer pulls off the wholly unexpected feat of creating an album so richly textured and boldly mature, it makes much of his earlier work seem silly by comparison. Completely absent are ...

Despite seeing a promising career almost get capsized after his original label sank under the weight of corporate restructuring, Chris Cagle bounced back with a self-titled sophomore effort that hints at an effusive romantic side beneath his rough-and-tumble, blue-collar side. A good indication of how lovestruck he can ...

Blue Moon CD music
$14.65
THERE'S A LIGHT BEYOND THESE WOODS, Nanci Griffith's debut album, was essentially an early example of DIY--recorded live, without overdubs. This sophomore effort marked her first foray into a real studio, and although she's got a drummer with her this time (LIGHT was all acoustic), the musical format is much the same, with a more or less equal balance struck between her folk and country roots. Several of the songs deal in varying degrees of nostalgia, a longing addressed directly in "You Can't Go Home Again," and rather more obliquely in a cover of Jimmie Dale Gilmore's "Tonight I Think I'm Gonna Go Downtownl" Other highlights include the neo-bluegrass "Wheels" and the faux cowboy blues "Heart of a Miner."
While Poet in My Window is only a small step up from Nanci Griffith's debut, the album finds her inching toward the mature art of Once in a Very Blue Moon. While guitars and an occasional mandolin embellished There's a Light Beyond These Woods, a fuller country sound graces its follow-up. Pedal steel and multiple acoustic guitars fill out "Can't Love Wrong" and "Heart of a Miner," giving them lots of body. While Griffith's vocals sometimes bordered on timid on her first album, the bigger country-folk sound inspires a more vigorous approach here. Indeed, on "Wheels" and "October Reasons," she shows herself capable of belting out a phrase or two without losing the vulnerable underside of the song. Evelyn Taylor offers a bit of harmony here and there, adding to the "bigger" sound of the album and pleasantly complementing Griffith's voice. Lyrically, A Poet in My Window offers sharp observations and memorable lines on pieces like "Workin' These Corners." When Griffith sings "She's just a hill country girl home from the city/Her pockets full of plenty of those neon lights" on "Waltzing With the Angels," she ...

It was produced and co-written by Raul Malo, whose skills have been honed to perfection at his day job as the voice of the Mavericks. The ten songs on In My Dreams manage to sound both country ("Overnight Success") and Latino ("Have You ...
