5.0 out of 5 stars A southern man full of soul sings to his wife....., July 11, 2006

Simply put, this album is great! Dave Barnes is a talented singer/songwriter and this time out he writes of his recently wed wife and their relationship (except for the break up song). Dave sounds very comfortably as he moves through these songs. His sound this time is less based around his acoustic guitar (although it is there) but more the musicians that play with him. Chasing Mississippi comes away with more of this funky blues rock feel to it; however, it still feels like Dave Barnes. This album feels more like a next step him I think. The quality of the production itself is very good. It doesn't feel like an independent record at all. Ed Cash did a good job producing this one for Dave. If you like singer/songwriters, soulful singers, or just good music then check this album out. Then after that check out his other album.

Dave Barnes should be famous. In circles, he is...his fans are legion in Nashville, and Vince Gill & Amy Grant lend their talents to this album. Bonnie Raitt approached him in a coffeehouse once to praise his work. Barnes has the songwriting chops and performing ability of someone with twice his years of experience. Chasing Mississippi is an amazingly polished blend of modern pop, late 70s/early 80s blue-eyed soul, and hints of country influence. "Stay Away" and comes off like a Hall & Oates classic, "Jackson" is a slow, sad bluesy-country lament, "All That Noise" and "Greyhound" are hand-clapping gospel-flavored stomps, and the rest of the album is full of great music. Highly recommended, and look for his other releases as well.

This CD would be right at home with late 70's-early 80's pop/rock (Kenny Loggins, Eagles)...very well-crafted with excellent musicianship...my favorite tunes are "Everybody Knows But You", "Jackson" (with harmony vocals from Vince Gill), "Sounds Like Me".
