| Unn Cathrin | Thorn | * * * * * * |
| Unn has a very soft....albeit nice.....voice that I found was drowned out by the backing much of the time. Shame! | ||
| Frank Ifield | I Remember You | * * * * * * * * * * |
| Pop music classic, given a country feel with the inspired, subtle addition of Pedal Steel Guitar. What can I say other than, Excellent!! | ||
| Bellamy Brothers, Lisa Brokop & Hal Ketchum | Let Your Love Flow | * * * * * * * * * * |
| Pop/Country classic from the 70's, that works brilliantly, with the addition of two two artists who found success mainly, in the 90s. Once again, Excellent!! | ||
| Cerrito & Jet Williams | Mansion On The Hill | * * * * * * * * * |
| Hank classic, unusually, given a tex/mex feel and......as far as I know....recorded as a duet for the first time. It works!! | ||
| D.K. Davis | Pick Pocket | * * * * * * * * |
| Infectious swinger that can't fail to get the feet moving. I like it!! | ||
| Gretchen Peters with Bryan Adams | Blessing In Disguise | * * * * * * * * |
| Nashville's queen of songwriting gets together with Canada's king of Soft Rock for a touching ballad, that surely, must be a hit in any genre! | ||
| Everly's Experience | Release Me | * * * * |
| Very poorly produced!! Would have been much better had the pedal steel player taken a break now and again! There's just too much going on! | ||
| Scott Dawson | Marry Me Or Bury Me | * * * * * * * |
| Lively foot tapper that is sure to get the dancers up, although I found the vocals a little weak for the backing! | ||
| Rick Sharp | Let The Children Play | * * * * * |
| Good lyrics, but I'm afraid that's about it! | ||
| Tim McGraw | Drugs Or Jesus | * * * * * * * |
| This will surely be another big winner for Tim, but personally, I feel he has done much better. | ||
| Chris Harris | I Ain't Comin' Back | * * * * * * * * * |
| Chris isn't too bothered about the break up of his marriage in this lively, solid country song. I like it!! | ||
| Coal Porters | Yonder Over Canaan | * * * * * |
| No problem with the musicianship, which is very good throughout! But there's no melody to this Bluegrass tune and I found it very boring!! | ||
| Dick Shuey | Splish Splash | * * * * * * * |
| A good version of this Rock n' Roll classic, that I am sure, was recorded many years ago by Dick. I can see it getting good airplay this time out! | ||
| Bill Durham | Pink Cadillac | * * * * |
| Very average cover of this Country/Rocker. | ||
| Roy Rivers | What Our Love Is Not About | * * * * * * |
|
Great Voice!! But although the song started out well, I'm afraid it just didn't take off for me! |
||
| Keith Irwin | I Ain't Goin' Back To Work Today | * * * * * * * * * |
| Unusual vocal style and a good, lively foot-tapper, that is certain to fill the dance floors! I like this one!! | ||
| Jimmy Scott | Cast Your Bread Upon The Water | * * * |
| Although lyrically good, very poor production lets it down. | ||
| Big Sun | Ti Amo | * * |
| Very poor!! | ||
| Jo Dee Messina | My Give A Damn's Busted | * * * * * * * * * |
| Although I'm not really Jo Dee's biggest fan, I will have to admit, this one really got to me and had me singing along!! | ||
