Smoky Mountain Christmas album

Taylor Swift abandons any pretense that she's a teen on her second album, FEARLESS--which isn't to say that she suddenly tarts herself up, running away from her youth in a manner that's all too familiar to many teen stars. Swift's maturation is deliberate and careful, styled after the crossover country-pop of Shania Twain and Faith Hill before they turned into divas. Despite the success of her self-titled 2006 debut, there's nothing at all diva-like about Swift on FEARLESS: she's soft-spoken and considerate, a big sister instead of a big star. Nowhere is this truer than on "Fifteen," a kind warning for a teen to watch her heart sung from the perspective of a woman who's perhaps twice that age--a sly trick for the 18-year-old Swift. There may be a hint of youthfulness to her singing but that's the only hint of girlishness here; her writing--and ...

For those listeners who think real country music means Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline and Merle Haggard, this CD is for you. With a modern edge, this album stays firmly rooted in Country within a changing musical landscape. Opening with "Little Things", a radio-ready single that an A&R exec couldn't ask more from, it quickly moves to "Leave the World Behind", an intimate ode to slowing down and refocusing on what is really essential. Warning songs take the next two spots and create an atmoshperic edge that's as dark and real as the cemetery pictured on the cover. See if you can find the shiny red balloons popping on "You're Gonna Lose It All". Followed by the plaintive vocals on "Behind Bars", these songs contain some life-changing moments. "Sleepin In My Truck" is obviously written from experience and, with the benefit of a choir of drunks and some rocking guitar work, sends you straight into a whiskey-soaked ride with all of your redneck friends. You'll have flashbacks from this one, Guaranteed. It's been said that Rock and Roll is Saturday night and Country is Sunday morning. All of the consequences of the night before are in sharp relief, usually hand-in-hand with a hangover. This honesty is evident in "I Only Know That I'm In Love With You". With just a guitar, this song would make Hank Williams proud, and if there was any doubt that this is a country record this will silence all the critics. This strong declaration is the exposed emotion and vulnerable heart of the album and is not to be missed. The tone of the album changes with the title song, "Leaving Nashville". This song is where the album pivots and begins to introduce other influences. Partly in response to the events already captured in the previous songs and partly out of necessity a decision has been made: the singer and the music are moving in new directions. The guitar solo recalls the jazz-influenced solos of Willie Nelson while remaining closer to modal jazz. Paralells with Grant Green have been observed, and it is easy to overlook how daring this pairing of styles is when you hear it; it sounds completely natural. The song ends where the next one begins: underneath a star over a diner on the interstate. "Interstate Diner Blues" was written with a composite person in mind: all of the Nashville hopefuls, stuck in nowhere jobs with their talent and hearts elsewhere, and the writer's Grandmother who lives near Nashville. On a trip to her house, he was disgusted to find little orange flags in the front yard where the city had plans to widen the road to create a new interstate offramp which would be 200 yards from the house. Since the song has been written, the foundation for some type of building has already been poured. The guitar solo is from out of this world, reaching out and forward in anticipation of what is to come. "Interstate Diner Blues" is essentially an apocalyptic country song with strong overtones of "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", and sounds like you're listening from the cab on an 18-wheeler, rolling endlessly ...
