Music reviews of Honkytonkville
Music Review: George Did it Again With Honkytonkville
Rating: 5 Stars
In 2001 George came out with The Road Less Traveled and it was great. One of his best albums in years. So, when I went out to get Honkytonkville I wasn't sure if would be as good. Well it is and it may even be better. Everytime I listen to it I love it more and more. First, it starts out with two honky tonk songs: SHE USED TO SAY THAT TO ME, and HONKYTONKVILLE. They both will get your toe tappin. LOOK WHO'S BACK FROM TOWN is a good song about a woman who comes back to her country man, after her city boy dumps her. It's kind of funny because she dumps the country boy to be with the city boy. It's a song that only George can pull off. Then, there's COWBOY'S LIKE US this is a great song about the Cowboys life that has that old western day feel to it. TELL ME SOMETHING BAD ABOUT TULSA is George's new single and if you haven't heard it well it's great.
Next, AS FAR AS IT GOES may be the best song on the whole album. It's a beautiful love song. The lyrics will blow your mind. It's one of his best songs in a long time. It's up there with CARRYING YOUR LOVE WITH ME. Moving along I FOUND JESUS ON THE JAILHOUSE FLOOR is a good song about a man who finds Jesus in jail. DESPERATELY is a great song about a man who is still in love with an old flame. It sounds like a song the great Don Williams would have done.
The 9th song on the album is HONK IF YOU HONKY TONK which is another honky tonk song, and just might be the second best song on the album. But with so many great songs it's hard to say. This along with AS FAR AS IT GOES would make great singles. HEAVEN IS MISSING AN ANGEL is another good love song. How many times has a man said heaven must be missing an angel to a woman. It's about time someone wrote a song about it, and the best part is George is singing it. Next, FOUR DOWN AND TWELVE ACROSS is a very clever song. A man is doing a crossword puzzle about his troubling relationship. It's a witty song that once again only Strait can pull off. To end the album George sings MY INFINITE LOVE a great love song about a man's infinite love for his lover. This is a song the more you hear it the more you love it.
All I can say is HONKYTONKVILLE is great, and if your a George fan it's a must have. If your new to country music grab this and hear what real country music sounds like. George is the man and he proves there is no slowing down THE KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC. Now if you'll excuse me I'll be heading to HONKYTONKVILLE.
Description of Honkytonkville
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.After more than 20 years and 30-plus albums, George Strait might be entitled to cruise through a CD or two. But after the sublime "She'll Leave You with a Smile" hit the benchmark of 50 No. 1 country singles, the crisply starched Texan went on to make one of the most satisfying albums of his career. Honkytonkville finds him sitting a little taller on the barstool than his last efforts, more concerned with the kind of romantic disappointment that hurts too much for middle-of-the road leanings and requires more of a sawdust-on-the-floor environment. Jim Lauderdale's "She Used to Say That to Me" kicks things off with 100-proof hillbilly angst, and from there Strait serves up some pretty strong stuff: the exquisite heartbreak ballad "Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa," the rollicking "I Found Jesus on the Jailhouse Floor," and the George Jones-style novelty romp, "Honk If You Honky Tonk." Strait?s session players--Matt Rollings on organ and Paul Franklin on steel guitar, for example--fill the space around his elegant vocals with taste and grace, supplying an audible teardrop and an anguished sigh. It all adds up to a nearly perfect album from a justifiable king of modern country. --Alanna Nash
