Album Review: Garth Brooks – ‘The Lost Sessions’ In 2005 Garth came briefly out of retirement with the release of a lavish box set exclusive to Walmart, which included one disc called The Lost Sessions, a collection of offcuts from previous records with a handful of new songs. This was subsequently given a separate release with added tracks. Opener and lead single ‘Good Ride Cowboy’ is a tribute to rodeo rider and cowboy singer Chris Ledoux, who was so famously namechecked in Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)’ at the start of Garth’s career, and who had died earlier that year. He launched the song on an unsuspecting world live in Times Square, New York, during the CMA awards show, and that gave the single enough impetus to send it racing up the charts. An eventual peak of #3 made it Garth’s biggest hit since 1998. Garth did not actually write the song himself; the writers include later hitmaker Jerrod Niemann. He and Steve Wariner are among the chorus of backing vocalists on the rowdy tune. It was followed by a duet with Trisha Yearwood, to whom he was now married. ‘Love Will Always Win’, which had been recorded in 1999. It is a pleasant enough but rather bland song, and only reached #23. The third and last single, the fiddle-led ‘That Girl Is A Cowboy’, was a new Garth co-write with Niemann and Richie Brown, two of the writers of ‘Good Ride Cowboy’. It’s quite a nice song, and the arrangement makes it one of Garth’s most traditional country records. ‘Under The Table’, another Garth song (written with Randy Taylor) may date back to the recording sessions for his self-titled debut. It is an excellent song in traditional vein, a pained ballad about trying to drink away a memory. A breezy cover of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s ‘Fishin’ In The Dark’ is also very enjoyable. Five songs have copyright dates of 1996-7, three of them Garth co-writes, and I suspect they are rejects from the Sevens recording sessions. ‘Allison Miranda’ (a Garth co-write) is a pleasantly understated story song about picking up a hitchhiker and falling in love. The heavily strung and very short (less than two minutes) ‘American Dream’, which he wrote with Jenny Yates, is a gentle ballad about growing up in America, which feels like an unfinished first draft, consisting of only two short verses disguised by an orchestra. ‘Meet Me In Love’ is a loungy jazz style number. My favourite of these tracks is DeWayne Blackwell’s ‘Please Operator (Could You Trace This Call)’, a solidly country and entertaining drinking song about a man who’s consumed so much to forget his troubles that he has no idea where he is. I also very much like Bruce Robison’s catchy ‘She Don’t Care About Me’, one of three songs Garth subsequently passed on to his former sideman Ty England for the latter’s 2000 Garth-produced Highways and Dancehalls album. The pleasant Tex-Mex ‘My Baby No Esta Qui No More’ is also enjoyable, but ‘I’d Rather Have Nothing’ is a bit cluttered and just okay. Alison Krauss harmonises on the chorus of ‘For A Minute There’, a gently melancholic tune about a remembered romance which dates from 1999, and which Garth wrote with Kent Blazy. The western swing ‘Cowgirl’s Saddle’ is an attempt at quirky humor from 2001; I enjoy Garth doing this style and it sounds great musically; but the lyric (another of his co-writes) is a bit off-color. Dating from 2002, Steve Wariner and Marcus Hummon’s ‘You Can’t Help Who You Love’ is a self-justifying cheating song which is quite good, but over-produced. The brand new ‘I’ll Be The Wind’ is plain dull. The set closes with a delicate reading of the 1950s anti-war folk song ‘Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream’. This is a very varied, if not terribly cohesive album, with elements of most of the styles Garth has pursued over the years. It certainly wasn’t worth buying the original boxed set for, but is a better bet as a standalone especially now that used copies are available relatively cheaply. My Kind of Country.

Album Review: Jerrod Niemann – ‘Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury’ Jerrod Niemann seems to have something of a split personality musically. He is a competent if not particularly distinctive singer with a nice grainy quality at times, who seems determined to compensate for that by over-ornamenting his records with gimmicks. The songs are interspersed with a set of comic sketches conceived by Jerrod with Dave Brainard (with whom he shares production credits). These share the fatal flaw of not actually being funny. Most of them weren’t even funny the first time I listened to them, with the sole exception of a pointed if unoriginal little jab at radio demographics and teenage girls not being interested in drinking songs. After listening through the number of times I needed to in order to review this, I hated them. Self-indulgent in the extreme, these make an excellent argument to download selected tracks. There is a particularly annoying piece right at the end which implies one needs to be drunk to appreciate the album. I’m not so sure that’s wrong, either. His current big hit, ‘Lover, Lover’, which has propelled this album to good early sales figures, is a remake of a 90s pop song which is very catchy with multi tracked vocals all from Jerrod himself, even though it has very little to do with country music. There is one other cover, Robert Earl Keen’s double-entendre ‘The Buckin’ Song’, which has some fine instrumental breaks but is tiresome to anyone sober over the age of about 15. Keen is a significant Texas songwriter, but this particular song is juvenile. However, I was familiar with Jerrod’s name as a songwriter, and had hopes for this album. He has written or co-written all but two of the tracks, most often with one Richie Brown. In fact, one of my favourite tracks was a song which was already familiar. ‘How Can I Be So Thirsty’ was one of my favourite tracks from last year’s John Anderson release, which Jerrod wrote with Anderson and Billy Joe Walker Jr. Jerrod’s version is enjoyable if lacking the vocal punch Anderson brought to this hangover complaint. Jerrod has an obviously penchant for the subject matter, as Jerrod’s only solo composition here is the far less likable ‘For Everclear’, a drunken college (I hope) student’s song rather implausibly involving getting way too close to one of his teachers (an ex-stripper). Niemann appears to be about ten years past the point at which this song would be appropriate. ‘One More Drinking Song’ is a relaxed-sounding defence of that sub-genre, which has no actual reasons included, and has an irritating repeated hey-hey-hey in the chorus, but is good-humored and bearable. It was released as a single last year, but sank without trace. ‘Down In Mexico’ is very nice sounding, but a rather generic Chesney-style song about the impossibility of being depressed on the beach. Written with Dallas Davidson and Jamey Johnson is the jazzy loungy ‘They Should Have Named You Cocaine’ which is a pretty good song about a woman with a hold on the singer, which would have been more pleasing to listen to without the pointless artificial sound effects in the mix. ‘Bakersfield’ is a pleasant sounding ballad about nostalgia for a weekend’s romance in California. Co-written with Wayd Battle and Steve Harwell, the song isn’t bad but the production gets a bit busy towards the end. ‘I Hope You Get What You Deserve’, a generous goodbye wish to an ex, also has too much going on musically. All these songs might have sounded better with a more stripped down approach. Highways & Dance Halls. England's first album in four years is a leap of faith. For one, he's gone from Ty to Tyler because he says, "this is a more grownup record, with a more mature sound and subject matter." Second, there isn't a song on this 12 track collection that sounds anything like the contemporary country pop that radio favors. But he's true to his traditional roots and provides ear candy for the honky-tonk soul with songs like the up-tempo "My Baby No Esta Aqui," the moving story-song of the "Travelin' Soldier," or the eclectic remake of his only top five hit "Should've Asked Her Faster," with the guitar-lovin' Steve Wariner. What England does lack is vocal enthusiasm, but he makes up for it in originality. Produced by his college buddy Garth Brooks, Highways & Dancehalls is a verifiable reprieve from the bubble gum music we've gotten used to hearing on radio. Country music fans will welcome England back with open arms. He Should Have Asked Him Faster. When Ty England parted ways with RCA Records in 1997, he packed up his wife and four kids and moved back to his native Oklahoma. After only a month or so of settling into their new home in Oklahoma City, he got a phone call that would eventually bring him back to Nashville. It was England’s old friend and former boss, Garth Brooks, with an offer he couldn’t pass up. “He said, ’Buddy, I feel like you didn’t get the shot you deserved, so if you want another chance at this I’m willing to try to help you get it,'” England recalls during a recent interview. A former guitarist for Brooks’ band, England struck out on his own in 1994. He signed a solo deal with RCA and released his self-titled debut in 1995, producing the Top 5 hit “Should Have Asked Her Faster.” His sophomore album, 1996’s Two Ways to Fall , failed to yield a follow-up hit, and he and the label parted ways. Although disillusioned with the experience, he wasn’t ready to give up. “In all honesty, I had done a lot of soul searching and looked through newspapers for jobs,” England remembers. “I did everything to try to figure out what I was going to do with my life. I have never found anything that I care about the way I do music. When Garth called, my immediate response was, ’I want to try it again.'” Brooks introduced England to Pat Quigley, then president of Capitol Records. Quigley signed England — now called “Tyler” — to a new solo deal, and Brooks offered to produce the record. England quickly accepted, even though at RCA he had taken great pains to distance himself from his famous friend. “I felt I needed to get away from Garth so I could earn credit and wings on my own,” he explains. “I realized that no matter what I had done, it was going to be ’because Garth had helped,’ so I thought, ’Why not let him help?'” England and Brooks met as students at Oklahoma State University and quickly bonded over music. Having known Brooks for years, England hoped working with him as a producer would help him avoid the pitfalls that derailed his career on the first go-round. “We made several mistakes at RCA, number one being we chose songs by committee,” England says. “We were exclusively trying to pick songs that we thought radio would play. And [producer] Garth Fundis didn’t know me for who I really was. He knew me for who I had been in Garth’s [Brooks] band. There was much more creative freedom on Highways & Dancehalls , England’s first album for Capitol, due in stores Tuesday (Nov. 21). Even so, England admits he had a few early reservations about working with his old boss. “Garth is a get-things-done kind of guy, and when he’s a busy man, he lets you have it with both barrels if you need both barrels,” he explains. “So, having been an employee, I thought, ’What if it’s like working for Garth instead of with Garth?’ But he looked at it like, if this was his album, how would he want a producer to treat him? And he treated me like gold.” In fact, England says Brooks was a skilled first-time producer, having picked up a few tricks from his own longtime producer, Allen Reynolds. The experience also gave England a chance to mend fences with Brooks. He says the two drifted apart after England left the band. “Garth went to Australia for his world tour, and I went out on my tour and literally didn’t speak to Garth for about three years,” England says. “Anytime he needed me he could have called, and vice versa, but we were just busy. A friendship became drastically misplaced during the process, but it was still there.” During the recording sessions, England would come to Nashville in two-week stretches, staying at Brooks’ house outside town. The singer says the time was “almost like being back in college.” “The only thing we didn’t do was go for midnight doughnuts,” he says. “We’d sit around with guitars and talk about songs and play songs. It helped us find that old friendship. I call him a lot now, and I’ve been to see him in Tulsa now, where he lives. So if this album did nothing other than that, it brought a friendship back around, and that’s nice.” England says Highways & Dancehalls is much more suited to his musical tastes and personality than his earlier efforts. But he admits he and Brooks didn’t always see eye to eye on songs, including the album’s first single, “I Drove Her to Dallas.” England liked it. Brooks didn’t, but he eventually came around. On the other hand, Brooks convinced England to re-cut “Should Have Asked Her Faster,” a song the singer was eager to leave behind. “I got so tired of that song being the only one related to the name Ty England. It was wearing me out.” Brooks called his friend and labelmate, Steve Wariner, and asked him to join England on the recording. “You gotta know, I was starting to sing Steve Wariner songs in high school,” England says. “I used to want to be just like him. I’m intimidated by this guy, bad. And I’d never done a duet with anyone. I mess up a lot, so I thought, ’I’m going to mess up and he’s going to kill me.’ So Steve comes in and puts on his guitar. You know how Steve is, he’s so nice and so talented it just pisses you off. But, he’s standing 10 feet in front of me and all the butterflies just disappeared.” To round out the album, the duo found two songs written by Austin, Texas-based recording artist Bruce Robison. The singer-songwriter played guitar and joined Brooks on harmonies for “She Don’t Care About Me.” The second tune, “Travelin’ Soldier,” is the haunting tale of a young Vietnam soldier who didn’t come home. The album also contains three songs with a Mexican feel, including the aptly titled “Blame It on Mexico.” “My Baby No Esta Aqui No More” was co-written by David Stephenson, who has a total of three cuts on the record. “I’d Rather Have Nothing,” written by Great Divide frontman Mike McClure, has a Jimmy Buffett groove. Lyrics like “Commitments and strings and all that wealth brings/Just may be for some other breed … And I’d rather having nothing/Than a whole lot of something I don’t need” echo England’s own life philosophy. “I think everybody who’s ever drawn a paycheck feels like that song at some point in time,” he says. “That’s why I think that song is magical. It’s not my performance of it, it’s the attitude the song expresses. It’s like a blue collar man’s and woman’s anthem.” While he has a new record deal and a new chance at stardom, England is ever mindful that he also is still a working man with a family to support back in Oklahoma. Instead of touring to promote the record, he says he’ll concentrate on making hits at radio. That way, he says, he can actually make some money on the road when he does hit the dance hall and honky tonk circuit. “My wife has hoped for a long time that I would grow up and get this out of my system. It’s just so hard to explain to her,” England says. “Now, the day my wife calls and says we missed a house payment this month or the kids are hungry, life’s going to take an immediate and drastic change. We haven’t gotten to that stage yet, so I’m going to give this my best shot. I look forward to the day when I can make life easier for her. Right now, I just want people to find something in my music that I find in it.” Ty England. AllMusic (previously known as All Music Guide or AMG) is an online music guide. Billboard 200.
