Johnny C&sh, Johnny 99 (Columbia)
After 25 years of making records,
Cash has put out what may qualify as
his best album yet. What is most strik
ing here are the chances Cash take3
with his material. A Bruce Springsteen-penned
song, "Highway Patrol
man" highlights the proceedings.
Although Springsteen's New Jersey
cool seems ill-suited to Cash's Arkan
sas twang, thi3 song never-the-less
works, largely because of Cash's som
ber, understated delivery. Other high
lights are Springsteen's "Johnny 99,"
Jonathan Edivards'"Girl From the Can
yon" and the raunchy "That's the
Truth." Highly recommended.
Crystal Gayle, Cage the Songbird
(Warner Bros.) Gayle has foregone
longtime producer Allan Reynolds in
favor of label chief Jimmy Bo wen. Un
fortunately, Bowen doesn't under
stand Gayle's unique voice the way
Reynolds did, and the result is a signif-.
icantly weak effort. Bowen's bumbling
is most evident on "Take Me Home," a
song Gayle performed brilliantly in the
film "One From, the Heart," but stum
bles over here.
Gus Hardin, Gus Hardin (RCA) If
Austin served as sort of an escape
from Nashville in the 70s, then Muscle
Shoals, Ala., just may turn out to be the
Austin of the 'CC3. Gus Hardin is a
brilliant debut effort, rich with the
Muscle Shoals sound: the rich back
ground singers, the gusty horn arran
gement and the bluesy material Har
din's husky voice blends isi well with
this aggregation; If this' album b any.
indication, Hardin should be a hot
commodity.
Emmylou Harris, White Shoes
(Warner Bros.) They say about Ne
braska weather, if you dont like it, wait
five minutes and it will change. The
same could be said of Harris. White.
Shoes is a hard rocking departure from
last year's Last Bate, which was main
stream country music. Although some
songs work quite well a rockabilly
"Driving Wheel," a punk "Diamonds are
a Girl's Best Frknd," and a bluesy
"Pledgin' Uy Love," Harris' voice
doesnt seem as well suited to this
genre. Still, with its faults, White Shoes
remains one of the best country al
bums on the charts today.
Jason and the Nashville Scorchers,
Fervor (Paraxis) The Scorchers'
music is often terms "country-punk,"
which is something of a misnomer. The
group's sound Is more out of the South
ern rock tradition, yet its rhythms are
much more accessible and its lyrics
pack a more powerful punch. Highly
recommended.
Louise Mandrell, Too Hot to Sleep
(RCA) Sure, Mandrell's voice
sounds unnervingly like her sister's,
however Louise is gutsy where Bar
bara tends to be complacent. Some
times the strings leak in, but for the
most part, Too Hot to Sleep is a good
example of the tough music that Man
drell excells at.
Juice Newton, Dirty Looks (Capitol)
Rather than watch her market slip
away from her, Newton has opted to
try and jump on the "New Music"
bandwagon. It doesn't work very welL
Newton's booming voice i3 much better
suited to ballads and neo-rockabilly.
Hopefully, shell realize this before her
next effort.
Linda Ronstadt, What 's New? (Asy
lum) Although its been sometime
since Ronstadt did what could be con
sidered country material, her search
for a musical identity does parallel
country music's quest somewhat.
Here, Ronstadt has deserted the
psuedo-punk of Had Love and MOR of
Get Closer for some flat Nelson Riddle
arrangements of old classics. This al
bum could easily, have worked if the
arrangements could have been a little
less oppressive.
Ricky Skaf Don Cheat In Our
Hometown (Epic) 'Skaggs i3 themost
visible purveyor of the movement back
to traditional country music. His latest
album is another solid collection of
country classics, interspersed with
some great new songs by some of the :
country's finest songwriters. Highly
recommended.
The. Whites, Old Familiar Feelings
(Warner Bros.) The Whites have
been singing to enthusiastic audiences
in the South for well over a decade.
Sharon White's recent marriage to
Ricky Skaggs helped land the band a
major contract with Warner Bros.
Skaggs produced this album, and
while it is good, I still cant help but
wish fewer oeoole had heard of them.
Somehow, their music seemed fresher
and more honest back tnen. Oh well
