High Lonesome

If you are only a little bit into country, I think you might still enjoy this record. Travis is always in fine voice even though he is more of the traditional country singer. Some of the folks he reminds me of most had a little pop culture success themselves without losing the roots-Lefty Frizell and George Jones. Randy does a song called Oh, What a time to be me, and it almost has a Jimmie Rodgers sound with the horns added. There really are a lot of honky-tonk qualities in here with Better Class of losers and Allergic to the blues which are favorites of mine. High Lonesome is just a great example of a perfect country song it's simple and it shows how beautiful country can be, the mandolins and all. It has some ballads and it shows off what Travis can do and every aspect of his sound too I think. The songs go from lots of instrumentation to minimal instrumentation, and in all between. And there is back up singing here and I personally don't care for back up singing in general and think it ruins alot of country recordings, though this is not quite intrusive like with other records. The singing done in the background, does harmonize well and is not intruding on Randy's distinct vocals nor does it ruin his performance; for me anyway. If you know what I'm talking about, some country songs have become ridiculous and hokey with back-up singers. Who in Nashville or Mars or wherever ever decided that we all like that? That we don't think it is incredibly stupid, annoying and not really suited to guys like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Jr., etc? I think more traditional fans and more pop oriented fans can appreciate this record as it is often as catchy as it is traditional. The players on the record are also great. The Slide guitar is fantastic and having Marty Stuart play on it sure didn't hurt and Alan Jackson's writing was a help too. I recommend it to anybody who has heard Travis' voice and liked it. He is a fine example of a real country artist, no offense to the pop country people intended.
