“LOVE, LIGHT & PROMISES”

AS A WRITER OF MANY GENRE OF MUSIC STYLES, AND MANY MUSICIANS AROUND THE GLOBE SOME INDEPENDENT MUSIC ARTISTS AND SOME MAINSTREAM MUSIC ARTISTS, NONE HAVE COMPARED TO THE INCREDIBLE HONOR IT HAS BEEN FOR ME TO WRITE A REVIEW ON THE LEGENDARY MUSICIANS. WITH THIS BEING SAID, I’VE HAD THE REAL HONOR & PRIVELEDGE TO WRITE IN THE PAST A REVIEW ON THE LEGENDARY BAND THE OAK RIDGE BOYS AND THEIR PREVIOUS 2 ALBUMS ONE CALLED “17TH AVENUE REVIVAL” & THE OTHER “ROCK OF AGES”. NOW FLASH FORWARD TO 2021 WITH THEIR LATEST PROJECT CALLED “FRONT PORCH SINGIN”. THE ALBUM IS A TRUE ALBUM FILLED WITH ETERNAL PROMISE, AND HAS THE FEEL AND TEXTURE OF THE CLASSIC AND LEGENDARY SOUNDS OF THEIR ROOTS AS A GOSPEL QUARTET. THE ALBUM HAS A TRUE FLARE OF GOSPEL THAT ALLOWS YOU TO REALLY HEAR THAT SOUND & FEEL THE VIBES ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THE FIRST SONG CALLED “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL” THE BOYS REALLY SHOW THEIR TRULY LOVE FOR THE MUSIC AND HAS A VIBE THAT ASKS YOU TO COME CLOSER TO THE SPEAKER. THEIR VOICES ARE TRULY REMARKABLE & VIBRANT DOWN TO THE FALSETTO IN THE CHORUS THAT BRINGS IT ALL TOGETHER & KEEPS THAT TRUE SOUND OF WHO THE OAKS ARE AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN. “LOVE, LIGHT & HEALING” A SONG THAT OPENS THE ARMS OF LOVE AND A PRAYER THROUGH THE OAKS INCREDIBLE VOCALS THAT PLEAD FOR LOVE, LIGHT & HEALING AND AND ACTUALLY FEEL THE INCREDIBLE POWER OF THE GOD ABOVE WHO PROVIDES US WITH ALL WE NEED AS LONG AS WE ARE ASKING AND KEEPING OUR FAITH AND EYES UPON HIM. THE NEXT SONG CALLED “OLD WAYS” ANOTHER SONG THAT IS SPIRITUALLY FILLED WITH THE LOVE AND HONOR OF THOSE AHEAD OF US WHO BROUGHT & TAUGHT US WHAT WE KNOW AND HANDED DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS. THE BOYS REALLY SHOWCASE THEIR SIGNATURE SOUND ON THIS SONG WHICH I FELL IN LOVE WITH BACK IN THE DAY. IF YOU’RE INTO SONGS OF I NSPIRATION & HEALING AND TOTAL LOVE THIS ALBUM IS FOR YOU. WITH THIS BEING SAID TH NEXT SONG CALLED “PROMISED LAND” JOE BONSALL, REALLY HITS THE EMOTIONAL LEVEL WITH HIS AMAZING AND HEARTFELT VOCALS THAT RING A TOUCHING MOMENT, THAT WE ALL WILL FACE ONE DAY OR ANOTHER AS WE HEAD TOWARDS THE “PROMISE LAND.” “RED RIVER VALLEY” THE BARITONE VOCALS OF WILLIAM LEE GOLDEN LEADS THE OAKS INTO A SONG CHALKED WITH EMOTION & LOVE THAT BRINGS YOU & YOUR HEART TO THE FRONT PORCH & SINGIN’ ALONG WITH THIS TRULY BELOVED SONG. “LIFE’S RAILWAY TO HEAVEN” A SONG THAT REALLY BRINGS IN THE LEGENDARY SOUNDS OF WHERE THE OAKS FIRST ARRIVED ON THE MUSIC SCENE, WITH THE SPIRITUAL FILLED AND ALLOWS THE DEFINITION OF LIFE THROUGH A SONGFUL NARRATIVE OF THE BOYS THAT KEEPS THAT TRUE AUTOGRAPH OF THE OAKS STAMPED ON IT. “ROCK MY SOUL’ ANOTHER SOLID GOSPEL SONG THAT THE OAKS INVITE YOU TO COME ALONG WITH THEM AS THEY ASK THE FATHER ALMIGHTY TO ROCK MY SOUL, A CATCHY A FLAVORFUL & TOUCHING GOSPEL SONG THAT IS MADE FOR THE OAKS. “SWING DOWN CHARIOT” ANOTHER NARRATIVE THAT ONLY THE OAKS CAN SING THEY MAKE THE SONG A FILLED WITH SCRIPTURE AND FILLED WITH TRUE INSPIRATION AND LOVE & PROMISE FROM THE HEAVENLY FATHER. “TIL I SEE YOU AGAIN” A SONG THAT AGAIN BRINGS TRUE INSPIRATION & LOVE AND HAS SO MUCH INFLECTED LOVE FROM THE BOYS THAT MAKE ONE FALL TO THEIR KNEES AND REFLECTING HOW THANKFUL WE SHOULD BE FOR ALL THAT HE BRINGS US AND ALL THE PROMISES THAT WILL BE MET WHEN WE MEET HIM AGAIN. “UNCLOUDED DAY” THIS SONG REALLY SUMS UP THE ALBUM NAME IN IT, IT HAS THE REAL FEEL OF “FRONT PORCH SINGIN” & THE OAKS REALLY BRING IN THEIR AMAZING ABILITY TO GET YOU ALL TO SING ALONG AND REALLY SPEAK OF THE FUTURE OF AN “UNCLOUDY DAY” THAT IS CERTAIN FOR US ALL. “WHEN HE CALLS” WOW!! WHAT AN TRULY INSPIRATIONAL & A SONG OF TRUE HOPE & LOVE FROM OUR FATHER ABOVE THAT PROMISES US ALL TO CARRY US HOME, DURING OUR ONE JOURNEY THROUGH THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE OF DOUBTS, SORROWS & TEMPTATIONS IF WE HAVE FAITH HE WILL CARRY US THROUGH OF IT. WHAT A REMARKEABLE OF LOVE FILLED AND CHALKED WITH TRUE INSPIRATION FILLED WITH LOVE AND ABOVE ALL THE PROMISE OF A “UNCLOUDED DAY” KNOWING THAT “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL” AND WE ALL HAVE THE PROMISE OF “PROMISED LAND” AND AS FOR MYSELF IM HONORED & PROUD TO CALL THE OAK RIDGE BOYS HAVE DEFINED THIS FOR ME AND HAVE INVITED US ALL TO JOIN THEM IN SOME “FRONT PORCH SINGIN” ALONG THE WAY.

“INFECTIOUS LOVE”

AS I LISTENED TO THE NEW ALBUM ARIVING FROM A GUY THAT HAS A SOUND THAT IS REAL, HIS SOUND HAS AN ALMOST STRIPPED DOWN & BASIC BUT BRINGS IN THE TRUE ELEMENTS OF LIFE. THE MUSIC ARTIST I AM WRITING THIS REVIEW FOR HAS A SOUND THAT BRINGS IN THAT REAL FEEL FOR LIFE & HIS NAME IS WALTER FINLEY, THE NAME OF HIS EP IS CALLED ” WHILE THE SUN STILL SHINES”. WALTER STARTS OFF THIS EP WITH A SONG WHICH IS A TRUE LOVE SONG CALLED “APRIL DAWN” AND BY LISTENING TO IT, IT MUST BE WRITTEN ABOUT SOMEONE IMPORTANT IN HIS LIFE TO NAME A SONG AFTER, THE SONG HAS A RING TO IT THAT IS REAL AND HAS A PULSE THAT RINGS LOVE IN HIS VOCALS AND THE INFLECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE SONG PROVE THAT WALTER HAS THE ABILITY TO HARMONIZE & WRITE A GREAT LOVE SONG. THE NEXT SONG CALLED “BIG STAR IN THE SKY” AN AMAZING SONG THAT HAS RINGS OF TOTAL MUSIC. WALTER REALLY STEPS UP TO THE MUSIC PLATE & MAKES THE GRADE WITH ON POINT ON LYRICS & MUSICALITY. THE SONG BRINGS IN A FRESH CURRENT SOUND THAT HAS SUBSTANCE & REALISM. THE SONG HAS A TRUE FEEL OF INSPIRATION AND THE ELEMENTS OF A GREAT SONGWRITER. THE NEXT SONG CALLED “WHILE THE SUN STILL SHINES” AND THIS SONG HAS THAT VERY ELEMENT THAT DEFINES, WALTER FINLEY AND WHO HE IS. A TRUE SONGWRITER & HAS A SOUND THAT IS CATCHY & FLAVORFUL AND KEEPS THE FOOT STOMPIN & CATCHIN THE BEAT AS ITS HITS. AS I LISTENED I NOTICED THAT WALTER HAS THE TRUE & HONEST ABILITY TO TELL A STORY THAT FEELS THROUGH HIS AMAZING VIBES THROUGH HIS GIFT OF SONG. “MIDNIGHT HERE IN CAROLINA” ANOTHER SONG THAT ALLOWS YOUR EARS TO REALLY SAVOR & SOAK UP THE AMAZING ABILITY THAT WALTER PRESENTS THROUGH HIS THOUGHTFUL & SENSITIVE.

“TEXTURED LOVE”

WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CHANCE TO WRITE A REVIEW ON THIS TRULY AMAZING MUSICIAN, I WAS WOW’D & AMAZED HOW MUCH TALENT SHE HAS. SHE HAS A TRULY AMAZING STORY BEHIND HER MUSIC. THE AMAZING TALENT IM TALKING ABOUT IS THAT OF CANADIAN SINGER & SONGWRITER CRYSTAL TAYLOR, HER ALBUM IS CALLED “MEMPHIS BOUND’ AND WHAT’S SO TRULY AMAZING IS HER STORY BEHIND THE MUSIC. THE FIRST SONG IS CALLED “I’M GONNA GO TO GRACELAND” CRYSTAL AND HER LYRICS AND HER PASSION SHOWS THROUGH ON THIS SONG WHERE SHE ACTUALLY IS VERY CONVINCING & POINT BLANK TELLS YOU THAT SHE IS MEMPHIS BOUND, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES, HEADED WHERE ELVIS PLAYED. WITH THIS BEING SAID THE NEXT SONG CALLED “TOGETHER OR PARTED” A TRUE LOVE STORY SET TO MUSIC & CRYSTAL HAS THAT PART OF MUSIC THAT WE CALL MUSICALITY THAT BRINGS HER MUSIC TO LIFE AND SHOWS HER TRUE MUSIC ARTISTRY. AS I WAS LISTENING TO THIS AMAZING MUSIC,THE TOTAL PACKAGE BEGAN TO UNFOLD IN FRONT OF MY EARS. CRYSTAL & HER SOUND REALLY HAS A WAY TO SINK IN AND HAS FEELING & EMOTION THAT DRIVES YOUR EARS TO REALLY LISTEN & HAS A SOUND THAT STAYS WITH YOU ALL THE WAY THROUGH. CRYSTAL HAS A VOICE THAT IS TRULY LOVE FELT & HAS AN AMAZING SINCERITY TO IT. THE “MEMPHIS BOUND” SONG REALLY HAS THAT ABILITY TO TAKE YOU WITH IT AND ALLOWS YOU TO FEEL THE PULSE & FEEL CRYSTALS EMOTIONAL VALUE THAT BRINGS YOU WITH HER. THE NEXT SONG CALLED “STARS” CRYSTALS VOICE IS SO VERY VULNERABLE & REAL, AND, AS MOST OF YOU KNOW IM A SUCKER FOR BALLADS, & WITH THAT BEING SAID THIS SONG I HEARD TRUE INNOCENCE & PURITY IN CHRYSTALS WONDERFUL VOCALS AND ABSOULUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG. “MAYBE I’LL LET YOU” CRYSTAL RINGS IN WITH A TRUE MEMPHIS SOUND THAT BRINGS YOUR EARS TO A SOUND OF WELCOME. THE SONG HAS LETS YOU KNOW THAT MAYBE SHE’LL LET YOU. WITH THE START OF THE NEXT SONG CALLED “WHEN DAD PLAYED HIS OLD GUITAR” AN AMAZING SIDE OF CRYSTAL HAS, THAT IS THE ABILITY TO TELL YOU A STORY THROUGH HER LYRICAL CONTENT & HER CONVINCING EMOTION THAT IS BROUGHT OUT WITH HER VOCALS THAT ARE WHAT I CALL A PURE NATURAL. THE SONG THAT IS CALLED “PEOPLE NEED LOVE” CRYSTAL REALLY PUTS ASIDE A SOUND THAT IS ALMOST BORDERLINING THE BLUES, BUT ONCE AGAIN I FELT THE EMOTION THROUGH CRYSTALS WAY OF SINGING A SONG THAT IS REAL & FULL OF LIFE’S REAL & FELT TEXTURES. “WHEN KARMA COMES AROUND” A SONG THAT HAS A QUICK REFERENCE TO WHAT ARE YA GOING TO DO” WHEN KARMA BITES YOU IN THE ASS” AND IS POINTED RIGHT DIRECTLY BETWEEN YOUR EYES. “I LOVE YOU MORE TODAY THAN YESTERDAY” A SONG TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE TRUE MEMPHIS SOUND ANOTHER SONG THAT TOTALLY EMBRACES WHO CRYSTAL IS AS A SINGER/ SONGWRITER, CRYSTAL, HAS THAT NATURALNESS & SOFTNESS THAT IS REMINICIENT OF COUNTRY MUSIC WHEN ALL WROTE ABOUT LIFE’S EXPERIENCES & LIFE IN GENERAL. WITH THE START OF THE NEXT AMAZING SONG CALLED “THE WORLD GONNA STOP” IT REMINDED ME OF GEORGE JONES IN A SENSE OF THE TOTAL MUSICALITY TO IT, HOWEVER, CRYSTAL MADE HER SIGNATURE ON IT AND PUT HER PERFECT ANGLES AND MADE THE TURNTABLE ROLL AT 33 & A THIRD. AGAIN CRYSTAL SHOWS HER ABILITY TO REEL YOUR EARS IN FOR MORE. “BAD ASS” A SONG THAT IS GEAR DRIVEN & CRYSTAL BRINGS IN THE ELEMENTS OF HARD DRIVEN MUSIC THAT SHOWS HER ABILITIES TO CROSS OVER THE LINE OF TRADITIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC AND DRIVES YOUR EARS AND GETS FULL ATTENTION. “THE ONLY THING I DO IS YOU” WHERE SHE MAINTAINS HER WAY OF TELLING A STORY THROUGH HER CAREFUL & YET THOUGHTFUL LYRICS, WHILE SHOWING HER SENSITIVITY AS CARING FOR HER SIGNIFICANT OTHER. “YOU HAVE MY LOVE” A SONG THAT CRYSTAL SHOWS HER VOCALS ARRIVING FROM THE SENSITIVE SONGBOOK OF LOVE AND IS AMAZING TO FEEL HER VIBES OF LOVE THROUGHTOUT THIS TRUE DEFINITION OF A TRUE LOVE SONG, AGAIN HER SENSITIVITY SHINES THROUGH. “WHEN I GET A CHANCE” CRYSTAL BRINGS IN HER NATURAL ABILITY TO TELL A STORY THROUGH HER GIFT OF SONG AND WRITER. AS A WRITER AND MUSIC REVIEWER IT’S A REALLY NICE FEELING WHEN YOU HEAR A MUSICIAN THAT HAS THAT ABILITY TO TELL A STORY AND ALSO NARRARATES YOU THROUGH THE SONG AND THE MUSIC FLOWS ALONG WITH IT. “WHEN I THINK OF YOU” ANOTHER LOVE SONG THAT CRYSTAL BRINGS IN HER NATURAL ABILITY TO MAKE YOU REALLY FEEL ALL THE EMOTIONS OF WHAT ONE GOES THROUGH AND TRULY FEELS. CRYSTALS VOICE HAS THAT EVER LASTING FEELING & PRESENCE THAT I COULD FEEL HER TRUE EMOTIONS AND TOTAL SINCERITY. HONESTY, THAT KEPT ME ATTRACTED TO HER TOTAL MUISICALITY THROUGHOUT THIS WONDERFUL & HEARTFELT EMOTIONALLY LOVE FILLED MUSIC ALBUM. “ROLL WITH ME BABY” A SONG THAT IS A FUN FILLED AND HAS EXCITEMENT & IS JUST A SONG THAT CARRIES YOU ALONG FOR THE PART OF THE JOURNEY THAT WE ARE ALL ON. ALL IN ALL THIS AMAZING & HEARTFELT MUSIC ALBUM HAS ARRIVED IN MY EARS AS AN ALBUM THAT TELLS A STORY AND BRINGS TO LIFE THE EMOTIONAL PARTS AND CLEARLY DEFINES WHAT LIFE REALLY IS THROUGH CRTAL TAYLOR & ALLOWS ONE TO JOIN IN & GO FOR THE RIDE OF LIFE AND TRULY HEAD “MEMPHIS BOUND”

The guy has pure & thoughtful music that is full of soft touches throughout, I guess you can “Blame it on Love” that’s the name of Jeffs’ latest project & the album is an amazing gem of music at its best. The album starts with the title track called “Blame it on Love” and Jeff brings in his amazing flavor of a simple but chalked full of love. The song has a catchy fling to it and grows on you, and deserves your ears attention. The 2nd song is called “I Wish You Enough” & Jeff puts on the lyrical flavor that is typical Jeff & adds his amazing ability to put poetry into a song that is lovely and pure. I’ve admired Jeff for the last 4 or 5 years now and his songs have had me more in love with his amazing musical abilities that crossover not only as an adult contemporary singer but a musician that has true momentum and cradles all the way through. Jeff, who has been writing his music for several years dating back to his teen years has developed a style that makes all comfortable within and outside his circle. One can’t place Jeff into a certain style, Jeff just has the ability to transform your music pallet into flavorful and truly tasteful memories & savor the love & blessings of life’s beauty. With this album Jeff brings in all elements of the musical band including, but not limited to cellos, b 3 organs and much more. New Years Day ” another song that Jeff seems to have that ability to make you feel his music through his amazing and soul touching lyrics. The next song “The one for Me” is Jeffs’ fingerprints all over it, and I fell in love with this song during my 1st listening to this joyful & truly caring album, that will truly touch you emotionally and fill your heart with love. “For a Song” Jeff shows his sound that brings you with him in his club playing and feels nostalgic and remains basic feel to it but has the complexity of love backing it. “Always in Key” Jeff keeps his amazing lyrical content alive & well and keeps the transformation of poetry into motion into the alive feel of a beautiful musical masterpiece. “It’s Just Love” another reason that Jeff is the true master of love song, his consistent ability to write a song and having you to relate and have common association within his masterful lyrics that really matter. “Ain’t It that Way” a loveable and touching song that truly touches ones soul and pulls on the heart strings and allows you to know who Jeff is a true balladeer. “The Only Feeling Felt’ a song that Jeff brings in his amazing harmonies that sooth the soul & touches your senses into an awe state where, you really don’t wish to vacate. “Not My Business ” a song that sums what Jeff Brisbin is all about, a true musical genius, who teaches respect for love and defines in simple terms through his amazing ability to allow all to understand what love is through his simple approach and asks you to simply put “Blame It On Love”. I love this album and is earned a spot on my radio show and I will honestly be a “Foreverly” a true fan of Jeff Brisbin.
