4.0 out of 5 stars Nearly Perfect Debut, July 21, 2011

This review is from: Thousand Winding Roads (Audio CD)

This cd is as powerful and well-put together as any country music debut in the last 30 years. Each song oozes with earnestness reminiscent of classic country, the musicality of a Keith Whitley tune, mixed with the appeal of contemporary country. Two songs, "Home," and "Almost Home," in particular move me to tears nearly every time I listen to them. The sentimentality in these songs are unparalleled. "If the Devil Danced in Empty Pockets" is possibly one of the best to come out of this era, with lyrics that are witty and relevant in any era. "If You Want Me To," and "Stranger in Your Eyes," are break up ballads that aren't sappy, but beautiful. "I Ain't Leavin Til She's Gone," and "New Way to Light Up an Old Flame" sound more contemporary, with a little bit of drive to them. The low point of the record for me is a mediocre song called "Liquid Heartache," which is a cool little ditty, but nothing profound or memorable as the rest of the cd. Also, "There goes the neighborhood," is pretty mediocre. These two songs are what keep the cd from being classic. I would recommend this to any fan of country music, either contemporary or classic. This is a true five star album, a treat for any country music fan.

I bought this music on cassette when it was initally released. I searched for a long time to find it on CD. I was so pleased to find it on Amazon. I listen to it often. It came out the year my father passed away and "Almost Home" was the one of the songs I related to the most, along with "A Thousand Winding Roads". Every song on this CD speaks to the heart. This CD is the reason I purchase all of his others.
