Although for the rest of his life, underinformed fans of 1990s pop will forever be calling Darius Rucker "Hootie," the former Hootie & the Blowfish singer-songwriter makes his solo debut with a perfectly credible take on mainstream contemporary Nashville country. The laid-back, largely acoustic folk-pop of Hootie & the Blowfish was never that far removed from contemporary country in the first place, so only the fact that Rucker is the first major African-American country star since the heyday of Charley Pride makes the stylistic crossover out of the ordinary. First single "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," ...

| | Trapps Good Luck Or Goodbye? CD (2006)
Kings Of Country
$10.15
Formed in the winter of 2003 in New Paltz, NY, The Trapps are an adventurous, American Rock and Roll Band led by Sean Schenker (songwriter, lead vocals, guitar), Warren Gold (lead guitar, slide guitar), and Jason Sarubbi (backing vocals, bass). The Trapps band name derives from a particular area of the Shawangunk Mountain Range outside of New Paltz, NY a world-renowned spot for rock climbing enthusiasts. Rock Climbing can’t even be conceived without rock. Mountains are formed by the collision of the Earth’s crust. Symbolically this represents the different musical influences uniting the band. The Trapps = Solid Rock. Aligning their sound with the bluesy jam-rock tradition of southern favorites like the Black Crowes, while reaching deep into areas of musical challenge like Neil Young, The Trapps fuse concise songwriting with an ability to freely explore the boundaries of song, sound and improvisation. The mixture results in a finely balanced presentation of modern pop sensibility with an ability to jam within a structure – always benefiting the presentation of “the song” itself. The Trapps have recently released a self-produced, full-length CD titled “Good Luck or Goodbye?” The new CD pulses with an extremely diverse catalogue of songs showcasing the bands strong lyrical content & songwriting, wailing guitar solos & solid musical interplay. “Good Luck or Goodbye?” has already started to gain serious industry attention. Standout singles “Alright Now”, “I’m Through” & “Blood on our Hands” have received heavy radio play on ...
| | Cledus T Judd Boogity Boogity: A Tribute To The Comic Genius Of Ray Stevens CD (2007)
Kings Of Country
$8.59
As strange as it is to see Cledus T. Judd as a post-Celebrity Fit Club stud muffin on the cover of Boogity Boogity, the motivation and execution of this tribute to "the comic genius of Ray Stevens" is much stranger. Cledus recorded his tribute a bit before a reality television fitness show turned him to just about the hottest man ever to record a novelty tune, back when he was at Koch Nashville, which went belly up. Cledus held onto the album as he searched for a label, then when he signed with Curb and announced a guest list that had country star power all over it, it sure seemed like Boogity was going to be a very important and grand album for country comedy, because really, nothing in the genre before had this combination of reverence and Vince Gill. Boogity has Vince Gill, and it has plenty of reverence, too, plus a heaping helping of obsession. Cledus loves the work of Ray Stevens, there's no doubting that, but he chooses to re-create dated material like "The Streak" and "Gitarzan" so faithfully that it's eerie, and there's a reason albums filled with novelty songs are rarely eerie. Stevens' delivery, the trio of female backup singers he always preferred, the canned laughter he dropped on his songs, and even the flatter production soundscape that was just the way it was when these songs were hits are re-created faithfully, admirably, and with no clues as to why one shouldn't just go listen to the originals. This isn't always the case, since the all-star cast on "Everything Is Beautiful" offers a unique -- and moving -- touch, while the timeless question "Would Jesus Wear a Rolex?" is delivered with enough kick that it does sound like it came from the age of Kenny Chesney. These moments are truly good times, and when Cledus chases the mythical Margaret ...
