| | Clint Black Killin' Time CD Clint Black Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
One of the most self-assured country music debuts ever, Clint KILLIN' TIME is a watershed of the "new country" movement. Featuring five Number One hits, KILLIN' TIME introduced a country rarity: the artist as a whole package. Black could sing like Merle Haggard, write songs like James Taylor, and he was easy on the eyes, too.
But it was Black's songwriting that made KILLIN' TIME a success--he wrote or co-wrote every song, something practically unheard of back in 1989. Even more amazingly, every track's a winner--even a ditty like "Straight From the Factory" sparkles with Black's clever wordplay and enthusiastic delivery. Though he was only 27 when KILLIN' TIME was released, Black's world-weary tone on songs such as "Live & Learn" and the brilliant "Nothing's News" are completely convincing, and hopelessness and heartbreak have rarely been better expressed than in "Nobody's Home" and "Killin' Time." But the freshness of Black's songwriting really shines in "A Better Man." In describing how a busted relationship has left the singer, not an emotional wreck, but a better human being, Black's modern twist on a classic theme kick-started the "new country" sound.
Recorded at Digital Services, Houston, Texas; House Of David, Sound Stage, Woodland Studios, Reflections, Nashville, Tennessee.

Killin' Time album
 $9.15  
Everyone loves George Strait. From country fans to rock critics, George Strait is singled out as the PURE country artist. On LEAD ON, his admirers have new reason to follow.
His unadulterated country sound, awash in steel, fiddles and clean guitar picking, is swept by the deep waves of his distinctive Texas baritone. From the cajun dance beat of "Adalida" to the maxi-traditional "I Met A Friend Of Yours Today," Strait runs the gamut of tasty and tasteful country. No filler, no radio junkfood, just a lesson to all the wannabes, this is Country Music 101.
"Nobody Gets Hurt," by Jim Lauderdale (a Strait favorite) and Terry McBride, is a contemporary country classic with an old-time bass shuffle that makes it sound warmly ...
| | George Strait Beyond The Blue Neon CD (1989)
Killin' Time CD music
$5.25
It could easily be argued that George Strait never made a bad album and they were all hits, but even among that remarkably consistent catalog, 1989's Beyond the Blue Neon stands apart from the pack, with half of its ten tracks reaching the country charts. Three of these topped the charts -- "Baby's Gotten Good at Goodbye," "What's Going on in Your World," and "Ace in the Hole" -- with "Overnight Success" peaking at eight and "Hollywood Squares," a novelty so sly and understated that it never cracks a smile, scraping the bottom reaches of the charts. An easy nature is one of Strait's signatures -- he never makes anything look difficult -- and he's never made music that seems as easy as this. That casual virtuosity can disguise just how virtuosic this album is. Strait hits the same touchstones as always -- Western swing, barroom ballads, honky tonk shuffles, laments, and two-steps -- but what's missing ...

| | Faith Hill Fireflies CD (2005)
Killin' Time CD music
$15.65 
Coming after the relative commercial disappointment of 2002's pop-oriented CRY--and, not at all coincidentally, Gretchen Wilson's rise as the new Everygirl of country--Faith Hill's FIREFLIES is a blatant attempt to ditch the singer's glamourpuss image and reassert her country roots, such things having become fashionable again. This isn't a problem, however: Shania Twain-like chart pop wasn't Hill's forte, and FIREFLIES brings her back where she belongs.
The first single, "Mississippi Girl," is Hill's best song in years. A Dixie Chicks-like piece of sweet country-pop with a few bluegrass trimmings, the tune was written by country hitmaker John Rich. Rich also penned some of the other standouts here, like the laid-back "Sunshine and Summertime" and "Like We Never Loved At All," a dramatic, '70s-style duet between Hill and her husband ...
| | Charles Sawtelle Music From Rancho Deville CD (2001)
Killin' Time music CDs
$14.65
Proceeds from the sale of the CD will go to The Bluegrass Trust.
Music From Rancho DeVille stands as a testament to the life and work of guitarist Charles Sawtelle, packed full of good songs and instrumentals. After spending years as a member of Hot Rize, Sawtelle operated a studio and produced albums for Front Range and Leftover Salmon. The 16 cuts that comprise Music From Rancho DeVille are made up of a number of sessions and settings, featuring Laurie Lewis, Sam Bush, Peter Rowan, and other luminaries. Norman Blake and David Grisman join Sawtelle on three Carter Family songs, including the lovely "The Storms Are on the Ocean." This cut produces good solo work all around and nice harmony between Blake and Tim O'Brien. Mandolinist Tom Rozum and fiddler Darol Anger join in on "Aragon Mill," a poignant lyric about what happens when work dries up in a small town. Sawtelle's country-flavored vocals, and Rozum and Mollie O'Brien's harmony, prove just right to carry the emotion of the piece. The brooding, minor key "Jolie Faye," inspires an extended, soulful guitar solo backed by the insistent fiddle work of Michael Doucet. Several cuts, including "The Newz Reel" and "Chez Seychelles," show off the instrumental skill of all involved. The album ends on a solemn, spiritual note with "Angel Band," a haunting tune with nice group harmony on the chorus. The bagpipe fade-out is a lovely touch. The liner notes include an essay by Pete Wernick and reflections by Sawtelle's many friends. This album will be warmly appreciated by fans of the numerous musicians mentioned above, and is easy to recommend to lovers of great acoustic music. ~ Ronnie Lankford, Jr.
