Debut album. I can handle this once I get past the fact that they market it as country. I get hung up about that. I
must just listen. Some decent pop music with a slight tinge of country attached here. Nothing great and one bomb.
Five tracks from this ten song set made the country chart, with All Roads Lead To You making #1, and the album at
#35. Steve's voice reminds me of Glen Campbell. Just wish any of his songs were as good. He's had 18 albums, 50
charting singles with 10 #1's, so he has some fans out there. I see where Wariner was made a member of the Grand Ole
Opry in 1996. An insult to that institution as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, the album is ok.

Did Steve's debut a couple of weeks ago. This is his fourth and it comes out a little better. More of a country
flavor than the first. Two love track scores with I Let A Keeper Get away and The Heartland. There were two #1
country singles, Life's Highway and You Can Dream Of Me, and a #4 single with Starting Over Again, the only track I
don't care for. The album reached #22, an improvement over the performance of the debut. Surprised to see Chet
Atkins showing up on Natural History. Though Steve was never a consistent chart topper, he did his share of
contributing to that 80's country sound, when pop made it's permanent infiltration to what was the traditional
country sound. Not much of that here, but that's where Steve ended up.

JOHN WILLIAMSON "hillbilly road" cd,2008.

JW, an Aussie storyteller,telling stories of 'country living' on this his umpteenth album of country/folky sounds...
been around since the late 1960s and still going strong as a live performer and respectable albums to his credit.
this one is reasonably good as are most of his records,but obviously with age comes a decline with all artists...
for the most part very personal,self analytically style songs, but ok, nonetheless, acouple of loves,a couple of loathes,with the remainder being ok. a long way from his best works of the 1970s and early 1980s but i like 'em.
bugger!...no link for my favourite track or most of them for that matter!!!!

GRAHAM NASH "songs for beginners" cd,1971

was tossing up whether to put this in 'classic rock' thread or this 'folk' one...obviously decided on the latter because its here...
heard this one numerous times over the decades from my parents scratched vinyl collection so i was pleased to find this on cd yesterday and put it straight to the top of my 'to listen to' pile of cds.
Graham's debut solo set,but his career goes back a lot further than 1971...he was a founding member of British pop group The Hollies way back in 1962-63ish...then as a part of Crosby,Stills & Nash at the end of the 1960s...
absolutely nothing amiss with this one IMO,great lyrics,vocals,mucis,harmonies,production...just simply a great,great album...which starts off with the incredibly brilliant "military madness" and rarely lets up through the entire eleven tracks
its amazing that over the period 1970-71 we had the brilliant CSN&Y album "deja vu",NY's "after the goldrush" and "harvest",this one and Stephen Stills debut set...that is five absolute masterpieces by these guys,showing just how great a talent they all were in that period either together or apart...
to add to this, when i saw CSN live earlier this year Graham Nash was the best vocalist of the three that night.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM
