| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | Recording information: 2002 - 2004. | | The fourth volume of the TOTALLY COUNTRY series collects more hits by the genre's most accessible artists. Alan Jackson and George Strait are the veterans of this bunch, showing the younger performers how it's done with the confidently laid-back tunes "That'd Be Alright" and "Desperately," respectively. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Gretchen Wilson kicks up a ruckus with her hit "Redneck Woman," and Big & Rich rock out on the irreverent "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)." Kenny Chesney makes like a countrified Jimmy Buffett on "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems," which glides along on pedal-steel guitar lines and a hint of tropical rhythms. Of course, no country compilation would be complete without a few sad songs, and TOTALLY COUNTRY VOL. 4 is no exception--John Michael Montgomery's "Letters from Home" tells the tale of a homesick soldier abroad, and Lonestar's power-ballad "Let's Be Us Again" pleads with an estranged lover. Showcasing 17 songs by just as many hit-makers, TOTALLY COUNTRY VOL. 4 is a sure bet for contemporary country fans. |

4 of 5 Solid album of Nashville country hits Tuesday, February 08, 2005
redtunictroll@hotmail.com from Earth, USA
Volume 4 of this series scoops up another 17 mainstream country hits across multiple labels, providing a one-stop shop for catching up on recent chart action. There are no real surprises here (which would be tough to do, given the radio exposure these cuts received), but these songs were hits for a reason: they stand up to repeated listening. The one really different sounding song is the RnB styled Heaven from Los Lonely Boys. It's hard to imagine why this would be a country hit, but it sure is catchy! If you like this cut, be sure to check out Los Lobos, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Santana and others.
Highlights abound, including Alan Jacksons wishful Thatd Be Alright, Gretchen Wilsons hell-raisin Red Neck Woman, Toby Keiths warm Saturday-night anthem, I Love This Bar, and George Straits cover of Bruce Robisons terrific Desperately (check out the original of the latter on Robisons CD Wrapped, along with the original of Angry All the Time). Buddy Jewels Help Pour Out the Rain (Laceys Song) shows the Nashville Star winner to have a confident, easy style not unlike George Strait.
Kenny Chesneys breezy No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems and Blake Sheltons Jimmy Buffet styled Some Beach make a nice pair placed back-to-back, and even farther down-tempo there are ballads that include Brad Paisleys Little Moments, John Michael Montgomerys touching war-time Letters From Home, Gary Allans Tough Little Boys, and Clay Walkers I Cant Sleep.
As should be expected, many of these tracks cross-over into other genres. Big & Richs Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy), features Western-themed lyrics and edgings of banjo and fiddle, but its basically a pop-rock song. A good pop-rock song, but heavier on the power chords than the Carter Family probably every struck up. Similarly, Sara Evans Perfect plays her superbly country-tinged voice against guitars and drums that are more power-pop than Opry acoustic.
This is a nicely programmed disc that gives modern country fans a chance to hear their favorites without commercial interruption! Was this review helpful?
