Play

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Neotradtional
by: Brad Paisley

November 04, 2008
Play by Brad Paisley is a departure from his other CDs. Although his other CDs have featured his strong guitar playing and sounds instrumentals, this entire CD is a guitar playing showcase. The very few songs that feature vocals are still secondary to the outstanding guitar playing, and that is just the point with this CD. Brad Paisley is an incredibly talented artist, and he gets to show off these talents with a few of his colleagues.

This is an outstanding effort from Brad Paisley. The only downside to the CD is that there are not 10+ great songs featuring vocals. That's okay though, because the other Brad Paisley CDs beg repeated listenings. If you are a new fan, don't miss out on these other great CDs:

That Don't Make Me a Bad Guy

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Neotradtional
by: Toby Keith

October 28, 2008
Bobby Pinson is one of the most respected songwriters in Nashville, and deservedly so. Though he's known for crafting two of the most annoying songs of recent times (Sugarland's "All I Want to Do" and Keith's "She's a Hottie"), anyone who's listened to Pinson's own albums, or followed his songwriting career, knows that he is a masterful songwriter, full of nuance and a rugged grace. So it's telling, then, that Pinson co-wrote (with Keith) eight of the eleven songs here.

Not to say that Keith isn't a solid songwriter himself; of course he is. It's just that, lately, he's become too enamored with selling himself as a roughneck bad boy. Perhaps he is (there's too much arrogance in a lot of his stuff to be COMPLETELY fraudulent), but those of ... Read More:

Troubadour

George Strait is the way cowboys should be. I wish there were more cowboys... and people in general... like him. Yet again, his talents shine and his words reach into your very soul in a kind and loving way. Thanks, George!

Damn Right, Rebel Proud

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Neotradtional
by: Hank Williams III

October 21, 2008
Hank III's new CD is full of the stuff his fans love. He trashes the Country Music establishment, glorifies drinkin', calls the Devil his friend--and makes it all sound great with his tight country punk band. I thought his last CD, 2006's "Straight To Hell", was full of classic songs. Unfortunately, "Damn Right" doesn't quite measure up to "Straight To Hell"--for example, sometimes it seems like he is trying too hard to make the words fit the music. But it does have some great songs on it, and is certainly better than 2002's "Lovesick, Broke, and Driftin'". "Damn Right" doesn't break any new ground, but if you are already a fan, it won't disappoint.

Sleepless Nights

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Neotradtional
by: Patty Loveless

September 09, 2008
My girl wanted tickets to see Patty when she was in our town in October. So, I bought a couple of good ones and they hung on the refrigerator for a couple of months until the day of the show.

Understand that I liked Patty just fine before the show. She wasn't Emmylou, but good, good, good. I didn't even know about "Sleepless Nights" when we walked through the doors of the Carolina Theater. "That's All it Took" lived up to it's name and more. I kept hearing these fine old songs and kept thinking "Where did this come from?"

No kidding, we went home from the show, turned on the computer and downloaded the record. Burned it, put it in the car, and listened to it for THREE WEEKS straight. It's true. Every song is a gem. Even Emmylou's song, and ... Read More:

Greatest Hits Vol. 3

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Neotradtional
by: Tim McGraw

October 07, 2008
I guess when you can't come up with creative, new music you just keep crapping out greatest (s)hits packages. It's only been a couple of years since Tim's last package of hits and here he is again with yet another one. I guess for Tim's next album, Curb Records could release the top 10 Tim McGraw songs that have appeared the most on greatest hits packages of his.

5th Gear

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Neotradtional
by: Brad Paisley

April 08, 2008
This CD had 3 of my favorite songs on it, so, it was a winner even before I opened it (they are: Ticks, I'm Still a Guy, Online). I admire his versitility, with fun songs, ballads, love songs and message songs. Not to mention his guitar playing skills.

Brad is the Man!!!!

A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Neotradtional
by: Alison Krauss

April 03, 2007
This isn't for your upbeat, dancing mood; but it is beautiful and satisfying in its own right. Listen to it a few times before making a judgment. I love Alison's pure voice and the simple, heartfelt songs she chooses. The only song that I don't care for is the "Sawing on the Strings", as it doesn't fit the rest of the mood of this more melancholy, yet lovely collection.
