Pe scurt:
Prin albumul de fata, Chris Cagle nu revolutioneaza nicidecum muzica country. Mai mult, My Life's Been a Country Song nu este si nici nu va deveni in timp un album de colectie, nu va cuceri cu avant topurile de profil si nici nu va lasa in urma prea multe hituri. Dar va vinde suficiente exemplare pentru a putea fi considerat un succes comercial. Si cam asta cred ca si-a propus...

Mie mi-a placut! Dintre cele 11 melodii de pe My Life's Been a Country Song, poate doar pe vreo doua le-am tratat cu indiferenta. In rest, albumul curge destul de drept si poate fi o companie perfecta la un drum cu masina. Cei care iubesc muzica country pot incerca cu incredere iar ceilalti, putin mai rezervati...

Pe scurt:
Nascut in Noua Zeelanda iar apoi relocat la varsta frageda in Australia, Keith Urban ajunge in 1992 in Statele Unite, la Nashville, unde incepe sa-si construiasca o cariera in muzica country. Curand insa, devine mai preocupat de cocaina decat de muzica si, datorita acestei pasiuni, aparitia primului sau album in State intarzie pana in 1999. In iunie 2006 se casatoreste cu actrita Nicole Kidman pentru ca anul acesta, in ianuarie, Nicole sa confirme ca este insarcinata si asteapta impreuna cu Keith un copil in luna iulie.

Urban este genul de artist caruia eu nu i-as cumpara albumele de studio dar pe care ma bucur sa-l ascult pe o compilatie care strange cele mai bune melodii ale lui. Cred ca acest Greatest Hits a fost posibil si datorita albumului din 2006, Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing, care reuseste sa completeze frumos aceasta aparitie prin numarul mare de hituri lansate atunci.

V-am spus ca imi place muzica country? Daca n-am facut-o, o fac acum... Imi place!

Imi aduc aminte cand eram pustan, 10-12 ani, si aproape ca plangeam pe muzica lui Dolly Parton la melodii ca Jolene sau Coat of Many Colors. Recunosc, am fost un copil sensibil dar si nesuferitii astia de cantareti country stiu foarte bine unde sa te apese pentru a-ti stoarce o lacrima... ;)

Iar despre George Strait... Cum suna 31 de albume in ultimii 32 de ani? Suna bine, nu? Omul e prolific si foarte bun! Dupa ce a scos in 2004 compilatia 50 Number Ones (care continea, ca sa vezi, 50 de hituri ajunse pe locul 1 in topurile americane), a mai reusit sa adune in 2007 inca vreo 22 de hituri pentru un album, la solicitarea fanilor, melodii care poate n-au ajuns toate pe primul loc dar sigur au facut istorie. Nu degeaba i se spune King George...

Ascultati Amarillo By Morning putin mai jos si veti intelege...
