Gary P Nunn - Taking Texas to the Country (and the to the World), April 30, 2011
This review is from: Taking Texas to the Country (Audio CD)
This is an awesome CD from one of the most iconic & popular Texas musicians of all time. He's been taking Texas to the country & to the world for many decades now. So it's high time he had a CD out by that name.
"Taking Texas to the Country", the title track, is a fun tune made just for two-stepping around in a Texas dancehall. "Down to Lousiana" is another fun tune, but this time with a Cajun twist. My favorites also include the slow dance tunes "I'm Not That Kind of Guy" "The Girl Just Loves To Dance" "One State of Mind" and "Lonesome Lonestar Blues."
A very nice romantic tune is "A Two Step Away" and he gives a nod to Ray Price. Gotta love that. I love the quirkiness of "It's Not Love" and "Deja Vu." One of my favorites for dancing is "The Likes of Me" which is just a fun love song!! "The Rest of My Life" sounds like an old country standard.
Really only 2 songs on the CD are not all that good to me - "Mexican Blvd" and "Denver" though when he plays them live, I always enjoy them. I just don't think they are as good as the rest of the album which is a very very strong CD.
