Here is what I
thought about Krystal Keith's album, “ Whiskey & Lace.”
Remember – all scores are out of a possible 10 points.
“Doin' It” -
I am a bit confused. What is
everyone doing? Listening to music? Drinking? Or are you talking
about sex Krystal? The music is fun enough, but the lyrics left me
scratching my head. Score: 6
“Can't Buy You
Money” - This mid-tempo track
has what I like most – swagger. The music reminded me of “Harper
Valley PTA” which is a good thing. Krystal sold me on this one with
her blues inspired vocals. Score: 9
“What Did You
Think I'd Do” - This track
reminded me of 90's country. Non-threatening, catchy, and easy on the
ears. The only problem is I can quickly forget this one as I continue
on my journey for emotionally real songs. Plus the very end of the
song pissed me off. Score: 6
“Daddy Dance
With Me” - This is what I am
talking about. Krystal dug deep with her vocals and killed me with
this gorgeous ballad. I think country queens have a new anthem to
dance with their daddies on their wedding day. Score: 9
“Cabo San
Lucas” - And we are back to
filler. Another easy listening, emotionally real devoid track. It was
nice to hear, but it made me feel nothing. Score: 5
“Him And This
Tattoo” - Now this is a fun
track. Upbeat music and clever lyrics are the highlights of this
song. I do like the tone of Krystal's voice. I wish she would do more
songs in this vein. Score: 8
“Beautiful
Weakness” - This track is
gorgeous from beginning to end. I would love to know who the male
vocalist who accompanied Krystal on this track is – his voice gives
me life. What more can I say? Go listen to this one and drift away.
Score: 10
“Down Into
Muddy Water” - We are back to
the swagger and I like it! Girl, this is your strong suit you should
do this more. Stop trying to be Jimmy Buffet and be more Miranda
Lambert. Score: 10
“Get Your
Redneck On” - Headslap –
back to filler. This easy listening song is good filler, but it is
still a filler track. Another Jimmy Buffet wannabe track, but I will
say this – Krystal's voice is heaven. Score: 6
“Whiskey And
Lace” - Krystal ends the
album on a high note with this upbeat rocker. Once again it is the
swagger in the vocals that sold me on this track. The lyrics are
pretty top notch, but it is the swagger that sells. Score:
9
Average Track
Score: 7.8 Would I recommend
this to my friends? Sure.
Overall, the album works. But I will warn them about the feel good
easy listening tracks.
Escalader,
Jim
