Ruby Lovett's eponymous debut album is a fine collection of urbane country music that emphasizes her nuanced vocals and skill at interpretation. Ruby Lovett CD music Lovett's sound is based in the appealing country-folk that made Mary Chapin-Carpenter and Allison Krauss stars, but her music is a little more polished than those artists. Even if the production may alienate some listeners who would otherwise enjoy the album, it isn't too slick, and it helps give the album an appropriate sheen that makes it easy to enjoy. ~ Thom Owens

Ruby Lovett music CDs. Among Gerald Collier's work, no effort discloses his talents for songmanship like the EP-length Low Tar Taste.

Bold and shimmering acoustic guitars, weeping, leaning pedal steels, and gritty drum-basslines drive the songs in a satisfying, clear production style comparable to Dwight Yoakam. The infectious melodies, cut to flush perfection, are often accented by vintage tremolo guitars, banjos, or a Willie Nelson-style electric, earnest and unapologetic. Collier himself brings to mind the weathered boyishness of Gram Parsons, in lyric and in voice: No matter how many times he travels "down that road and back," he'll always be vulnerable, and his own worst enemy -- though it's invariably the love of woman that rules or ruins him.
