Music reviews of Let's Put the Western Back in the Country
Music Review: Simply superb music!
Rating: 5 Stars
Joni's found the happy medium here, preserving the authentic western sound she loves and lives, while keeping up with the times. Man, this is a super album. The fans of the very traditional Western sound will love the title cut, as well as "Cowboy Up", "I've Got A Feeling For You", and others, while listeners raised on Top 40 radio will feel right at home with "Shape Of My Heart", "A Little Bit Of Love", "Murphy's Law", and others. (Though most of the stuff on the Top 40 these days doesn't sound half as good as this!) This is a beautifully written, produced, and performed album. Heartfelt thanks to amazon.com, which first recommended Joni's music to me. I would probably never have heard her without reading about here here. And, yes, she fits right in with Terri Clark, Anita Cochran, Heather Myles, and other fun, fearless female singers I love, just as Amazon said she would.

Description of Let's Put the Western Back in the Country
Joni Harms established herself as Western music's preeminent female vocalist in the 1990s. For anyone hoping to understand the current dichotomy between Western and Country, her bracing opening title track explains it all. Harms may have used Nashville A-Team session musicians, but their playing is looser and more individualistic than it would be if they were backing some producer-controlled platinum act. "I've Got a Feelin' for You" has a '40s swing feel that is but one facet. Nearly every number, each co-written by Harms with various collaborators, reflects Western and ranch ethos. Her flair for storytelling drives the tragic mini-drama, "Coyote Café," and the ode to perseverance, "Cowboy Up." "We Work It Out" and "The Wind" continue that level of excellence; Harms falters only on the contrived "Louisiana Hot Sauce." While her confident voice and knack for writing quality commercial material ("Shape of My Heart" and "Love Never Hurt Nobody") merit wider exposure, one suspects that, like most Westerners, Harms prefers doing it her way, not Nashville's. For that we can be grateful. --Rich KienzleCountry CDs
