Personnel: Joe Nichols (vocals); B. James Lowry (acoustic guitar); Dan Dugmore (electric guitar, steel guitar); Rob Hajacos, Stuart Duncan (fiddle); Randy McCormick (piano, Hammond b-3 organ); Larry Paxton (bass guitar); Shannon Forrest, Chad Cromwell (drums); Wes Hightower (background vocals). Joe Nichols gets a little loose on his third major-label album, appropriately titled III, as evidenced by the very title of its first single, "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off." It's a silly name and would seem like a throwaway novelty, but it's not only genuinely funny, Nichols delivers it with sly humor and a low-key swagger that shows more character, as a vocalist, than he did on his previous albums. And that's the key to this album -- it's the first time that Nichols displays some genuine on-record personality that sets him apart from the Music City machine. While he still has a couple of generic numbers here, by and large the material is much stronger, bearing a harder country edge than the songs on his previous album, Revelation. Since Nichols has always had an appealing twang to his baritone, this harder country bent suits him well, particularly because it's not only present on straight-ahead country numbers like the two-step "Honky Tonk Girl" or Steve Earle's mournful "My Old Friend the Blues," Nichols also gives such softer, '70s-styled numbers like "Talk Me out of Tampa" a touch of grit, which is something he couldn't do on his previous albums. He's managed to steer away from the suburban country tract he was on and head back toward the country, which has made his music livelier and quite entertaining. Nichols still isn't a traditionalist on the level of his clear idol Alan Jackson -- the subjects, sound, and feel are more modern than traditional -- but he manages to strike a good balance of classic and contemporary here on III, which not only makes it his best album to date, but the first to suggest that he's carved out a distinctive niche for himself. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine Joe Nichols's III (which is, ironically, the artist's seventh release) gives listeners another strong dose of contemporary country with a new-traditionalist flair. Nichols knows his way around a country tune, giving a tip of the hat to old school Nashville (as on "Should I Come Home (Or Should I Go Crazy)") and laying down some serious emotion on tear-in-your-beer ballads like "I'll Wait for You." III starts off with two songs that seem to play on novelty: "Size Matters (Someday)" and III's first single "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" (a song reputedly written--though it tests believability--about the singer's grandmother). These tunes are somewhat lightweight for Nichols, yet he pulls them off with a charm that balances the serious roots aesthetic apparent throughout the rest of this strong release.

| | Josh Turner Your Man CD (2006)
III
$10.39 Personnel: Josh Turner (vocals); Ralph Stanley (vocals); Bryan Sutton (guitar, banjo); Aubrey Haynie (mandolin, fiddle); Shannon Forrest (drums); Eric Darken (percussion); Dana Williams, Gene Johnson , Marty Roe (background vocals). Josh Turner made a splash on the country music scene in 2003 with his hardline traditionalist debut LONG BLACK TRAIN, and reappeared in 2006 with YOUR MAN. Turner's sophomore release is as decidedly old-school as his first, reaching back to the mournful ballads and honky tonk leanings of Hank Williams Sr. and overtly referencing the likes of Loretta Lynn and Johnny Cash. Genre legends Ralph Stanley and John Anderson are on board to lend the young Turner some historical credibility. The real draw of the album, however, is Turner's beautifully ...

$6.45 It's hard to say too much about a super budget-priced Kris Kristofferson comp that contains ten of his best known tracks from his earliest recordings with Columbia Records, other than, if you don't have them already, this is a great deal. There are no notes to speak of, and the cover photo kind of sucks, but the music and words -- if you don't mind Kristofferson's voice -- are killer. From "Help Me Make It Through the Night" and "Me and Bobbie McGhee" to "Sunday Morning Comin' Down" and "The Taker" there is enough great songwriting here to fill these 35 minutes with pure pleasure. ~ Thom Jurek Sony ...
