5th Gear - Brad Paisley

Advantages: Original, Hilarious, Completely Entertaining!
Disadvantages: No one gives it a chance...

...There's no doubt that anyone seeing a William Shatner CD for sale would just laught and walk by. And well, usually that'd be the right thing to do. But not this time! Everyone must buy this CD. The music is amazing diverse. You have rock, blues, country, and, well some that are genre-defying. Some of the music is hilarious, some energetic, and some just very real. It covers many of the events in Shatner's own life - some positive, and some that are down right depressing. And the emotion is conveyed very clearly both through the lyrics and the music. In addition, you have well known singers like Brad Paisley, Ben Folds, and Henry Rollins. If you want to hear something you've never heard before, pick this CD up. It has something for everyone, and well, I bet you'll end up loving it all!... Read review

'Jenny Don't Be Hasty' is probably his most recognised single with a catchy tune and some deep lyrics which are possibly directed at his girlfriend Teri. 'Rewind' and 'Last Request' are two of his more downbeat songs, technically very sound, again with choruses that you will find yourself singing in the shower... Read review

...and I think you many (though not all, I will admit) might be surprised if you gave it a chance. Lecture over and coming down from my proverbial soapbox, ‘A Hundred Miles Or More’ is something that I would tentatively recommend. If nothing else, it’s worth trying to find a friend who has a copy that you could listen to before deciding whether or not to buy for yourself. ~~~ Track List ~~~ 1. You’re Just A Country Boy* 2. Simple Love* 3. Jacob’s Dream* 4. Away Down The River* 5. Sawing On The Strings 6. Down To The River To Pray 7. Baby Mine 8. Molly Bàn (Bawn) 9.
