| | Travis Tritt Down The Road I Go CD Travis Tritt Discography of CDs
Travis Tritt recorded DOWN THE ROAD I GO after a self-imposed 18-month hiatus that saw him become a father for the second time, and sign with a new record company. The break seems to have done him good--DOWN THE ROAD I GO is more streamlined than his previous album, NO MORE LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER. It's also pure country, both in its instrumentation and its subject matter.
The title track finds Tritt back in full outlaw mode, spitting contempt at any woman who tries to tie him down. "Livin' On Borrowed Time," a blue-collar lament, is reminiscent of Tritt's earlier hit, "Lord Have Mercy On the Workin' Man." Tritt also looks to his musical influences--he wrote two songs with his idol, Charlie Daniels, while the CD's highlight, "Never Get Away From Me" was inspired by and written for Waylon Jennings and his wife, Jessi Colter. Tritt turns in a great, tough-but-tender vocal performance here, adding just the right amount of Jennings-esque swagger. Overall, DOWN THE ROAD is an understated, heartfelt collection that illustrates why Tritt has lasted so long in the fickle world of modern country music.

"Rollercoaster" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance.
Keith Urban is Australian, but listening to his debut self-titled solo CD, you'd swear he was raised somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line. Just as the Beatles mimicked the American accents of their musical heroes, Urban, the former leader of the group the Ranch, adopts the twang of the country stars he heard growing up Down Under. Urban's brand of country includes soulful vocals; a nice mix of acoustic and steel guitars, banjo, fiddles, and mandolins; and some fine songwriting, from Urban, Steve Wariner, and even two former members ...

Down The Road I Go
$12.35
On his prior 1967 LP, For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her, Yarbrough had tried to move into contemporary folk-rockish covers, with negligible sales and not much greater artistic success. With Honey & Wine there also seemed to be inclinations to update his sound, but great uncertainty as to which way his music should pull. There was just a bit of a nod to pop/rock on the album, primarily in the title cut, a cover of a relatively little-known Gerry Goffin-Carole King composition. That song is a bluesy, very good yet underrated ...
| | Look Pop Yowlin' CD (2005) (Import) Bonus Track; United Kingdom
Down The Road I Go
$16.19
It takes a perusal through the booklet to realize this isn't a long-lost Look album that has been gathering dust on some shelf for the preceding two decades. No, instead the set is comprised of nine new -- or at least "newish" -- songs; some date back to 1999, and "I Am the Beat" is appended as a bonus track. "I Am the Beat," of course, was the single that established the band's reputation, a number six U.K. smash back in 1980. The follow-up failed to follow in "I Am the Beat"'s soaring footsteps, and the group subsequently moved from MCA to the small Towerbell indie. When that label ...
