This week’s premieres feature a country music legend and a band from the left coast that is just getting started.
Randy Travis has recorded the perfect country album. There is not one out-of-place note nor one false emotion on his superb new Around The Bend collection. His vocals have never sounded more expressive, better phrased or more soulfully shaded. Backed by cool fiddle work, his voice eases into slippery highs and lows while toying with the bluesy tune of “Around the Bend”.
Few artists could be more convincing singing the stunning, cautionary lyric of the ballad “You Didn’t Have A Good Time”. “Faith In You”, the album’s debut single, is an extraordinarily emotive performance that alternates moments of meditation with flashes of passion. Each song seems tailored to suit one mood or another of his sublimely burnished baritone. The bopping “Every Head Bowed”, for instance, is one chuckle after another. And there’s the wryly amusing toe-tapper “Everything I Own (Has Got A Dent)”.
Also available as a Deluxe Edition (available on August 12th, 2008) which contains a bonus DVD featuring a CMT Unplugged performance at Studio 330 of the songs “Forever And Ever, Amen”, “Three Wooden Crosses”, “Faith In You”, “Diggin’ Up Bones”, and “You Didn’t Have A Good Time”; plus a six month free membership to Randy’s fan club.
Based out of Portland, Oregon, Above The Golden State’s self titled debut album is already gaining the attention of tastemakers and radio charts alike. The first single, “Sound Of Your Name”, is already a hit.
Crafting memorable pop melodies with sing-a-long hooks, Above The Golden State is sure to be acclaimed as one of the top debuts for 2008.
Above The Golden State will be specially priced at $12.99 or less when it arrives available at your local Canadian Christian retailer. Both releases will be available on July 22nd. Keep track of all the new and upcoming releases via your own personal copy of the July New Music Tuesday poster. Head over to HearItFirst.ca to hear more from these new releases.
