Alamo, The - Asleep At The Wheel

Advantages: Variety, Superior Material, Showmanship
Disadvantages: Will Country Radio Respond?

...The latest offering from Hal Ketchum is one of his best. Top songcrafting and performance have always been Ketchum hallmarks, sometimes at the expense of commercial viability. As an artist Ketchum has always felt free to share his influences, from blues and R&B to folk to thundering rock licks. This time, he's got it all---there are several prospects for hit singles on this CD. "The Alamo," ("That's a pretty good place to make a stand") released in the US as a duet with LeAnn Rimes, has tons of potential to become a country classic. The title track is already a line dance favorite, even prior to its official US release.

Advantages: Something for everyone, new and creative so no danger of boredom.
Disadvantages: You just can't get enough, you may over listen to this CD!!!!

...Fancy adding something new and interesting into your CD collection?? If so PANIC! At the disco is definitly something for you. The songs on this CD are so creative there's no danger of becoming bored halfway through. Their quirky and infectious lyrics will have you singing along in no time, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is a great album for driving with because the beats of the song will stop you from falling asleep and have you druming along on your steering wheel at the same time. One of my favourite songs is "Build God, Then We'll Talk" despite the random name this is such an amazing song. Taking inspiration from Julie Andrews' Favourite Things, PANIC! have added an dark twist to the song "raindrops on roses and the girls in white dress, sleeping with roaches..." So definitly something for the kids then hahaahah. There are songs to make... Read review
