Strong [Enhanced]

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Mainstream country radio rarely challenges its listeners--after all, the airwaves are really about advertising, not music--and so the consultants nod approvingly at songs with the fewest rough edges. Tracy Lawrence, a hit-maker despite his odd, muffled tenor, knows how to survive both radio's choppy seas and his own frequently turbulent life; on Strong he presents a more mature look at both. There's some ripe sentimentality in "Paint Me a Birmingham," about a relationship gone bad. And "A Far Cry From You," about a man who physically leaves but is still shedding tears, offers the kind of wordplay radio loves. Yet Lawrence can deliver country's core values without schmaltz (the title song, a tribute to single mothers), and he can bring a lump to a listener's throat with a restrained vocal and powerful lyric ("Think of Me," which salutes firefighters, cops, EMS workers, and the military). But he's never stronger than on the old-fashioned country shuffle of "Sawdust on Her Halo" and on "The Questionnaire," which dramatically exposes the dead-end truth of a marriage. If Lawrence could ever pay more attention to his own instincts rather than the dictates of consultants, he'd leave behind a legacy stronger than just his chart positions. --Alanna Nash

An outstanding follow-up to her debut album, Learning How To Fly. Inga's voice is smooth and accurate while at the same time retaining a sense of intimacy and warmth.

5 out of 5 stars Inga sings and swings.......2006-07-09

A great album of great songs. Inga sings with feeling and is ably supported by the Bill Peterson Trio. 'Black Crow' and 'Just in Time' are exceptional tracks, but then the whole album is superb. Excellent.

This is an awesome CD and brings you into worship. They are an anointed group.

5 out of 5 stars Great music, great lyrics.......2007-03-31

This album is great not only musically, but the lyrics are powerful, too. Good, solid, uplifting Christian music.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome CD.......2007-03-09

There are many people who don't like this CD because there is only two songs that Kutless actually wrote. That's true, but I have to say that Strong Tower is my favorite worship CD. Kutless adds a bit of edge to it. I love their rendition of each of the songs on this CD. Kutless has a way of making you feel the music, rather than just hear it. I prefer to feel than hear.

Strong Tower is also one of my favorite songs. They've done a wonderful job with that song. Once again they have taken something that I feel very often and made it into song. They are just a phenomenal band, and if you haven't already, I'd suggest checking them out.

3 out of 5 stars Great Songs Poor Singing and Style........2007-02-24

I listened the Cd the sound is weak and milky. Jon Mich Smith needs singing education he is tone deaf. He sings some these songs he messed up he needs to listen to The Rock King Elvis . He needs to decrease the bass and electrical guitar and drums . He needs to improve his voice for a smooth Elvis Voice needs to have more better sounding instraments . Worship is not about rock it's about worship the lord beafuly he need's to improve . Don't buy the Hearts of the Innocent. He needs to dress nicer than that. He follows my opinion he will be on a higher list.

5 out of 5 stars Praise that rocks!.......2007-01-10

Every song on this CD is awesome! I have it on my IPOD & rock to it @ the gym...& to think it's praise! I get pumped up & blessed @ the same time w/ this amazing album! My hubby & I think Kutless has really out done themselves w/ thier last 2 albums! Kutless is another band that gets better w/ every album!

Stinging urban blues by way of Texas and Memphis distinguish Robert Cray's major-label debut, which followed three strong independent releases. Here he fleshes out his sound with bursts of brassy Southern soul courtesy of the Memphis Horns, but keeps his pungent, steely guitar solos out front in an engaging dialogue with his plaintive vocals. Released in 1986, Strong Persuader signaled that Cray, as a writer--like his contemporary Stevie Ray Vaughan--had something to say about his interior life beyond the usual bluesman's laments, an approach that pays homage to the music's rich traditions while suggesting new areas of inquiry. --David McGee

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars LOVE IT.......2007-06-01

I love this CD. I had bought it on cassette years ago and used to listen to it non-stop. Then my cassette player broke and I didn't listen to it for years. Now I'm listening to it all over again. My favorites are "I Wonder" and "Right Next Door".

5 out of 5 stars The quintessential Cray album.......2007-02-16

If you were able to buy just one Robert Cray album, this should be it. This was arguably the most commercially successful of his albums. I remember seeing the video for "Smoking Gun" on MTV as a teenager, and while I didn't know a thing about music (I thought Bon Jovi was the pinnacle of musicianship at that point in my life), that song stuck with me for years. I eventually added this CD to my collection, and that's probably where the evolution of my taste in music really began.

Robert Cray plays masterful blues guitar with an element of classical jazz fused into the music. His vocals are piercingly soulful, and the songs are fitting examples of what the Blues is all about. Songs like "I Guess I Showed Her," "Nothin' But A Woman" and "Fantasized" are up-tempo numbers that focus on a frequent blues topic... women and relationships. The counterpoint is provided by brooding slower songs like "Right Next Door" and "I Wonder" that wrench every bit of emotion possible out of the song. Anchoring it all is "Smoking Gun" which is more or less Cray's signature song.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Robert Cray perform live several times now, and it's always one of the best live experiences, especially if you can see him in a small, intimate venue. I've got a lot of his other CDs now, and they're all great, though his latest work takes a turn into the territory of political protest. I think, though, that this album embodies the purest essence of Robert Cray and his music, and would not hesitate to list this album among my top five favorite albums.

3 out of 5 stars A little disappointing.......2006-11-03

I have to admit, I am not very familiar with his music, but I heard one of Robert Cray's songs a while back and loved it. However, this CD was a little disappointing. All of the songs sounded so similar that I got tired of listening. I'll probably pick and choose a few songs from the CD from now on rather than playing the whole thing.

4 out of 5 stars Robert Cray's Smoking.......2006-08-03

Robert Cray is last in the line of great bluesman. He took the torch of BB King and Albert Collins and made something special. It is a rocking blend of stax, r&b, and memphis soul. There really is no one to compare it to, today. His singing is outrageously soulful and a throwback to Bobby Bland. His guitar playing is literally unparalleled, even with his relavtively short solos. There isn't much he can't say with one note, and white blues players simply pale in comparison.
Smoking Gun is an excellent album if you like a little soul with your blues and/or you are a student of blues guitar. I can almost gurantee you that there is no heir to the throne after Robert Cray.

5 out of 5 stars fantastic breakthrough album.......2006-07-03

Very few albums truly merit a "5 star" rating (handed out on amazon.com like they're going out of style nonetheless, but I digress). However, in the genre of modern blues and soul this is certainly one album that deserves all the credit it has received. Every track here is catchy and will get your head bobbing - the melodies and grooves are that good. On top of that you have Cray's fantastic guitar tone and licks, as well as his strong, soulful voice. Not much here is new (after all this is the blues we're talking about) but Cray manages to make each song sound distinct and uniquely attractive. Blues purists may sneer, but music lovers who value good melody and passionate vocals will love it.

    I am impressed with the quality of the Gramercy Brass Ensemble's performance of these traditional American Patriot pieces.

    Beautiful sound, outstanding musicianship, classic yet spirited arrangements, and wide variety from national anthems to branch-specific armed forces hymns.

    I would recommend this recording to anyone looking to hear American Patriotic music at its best. A very nice CD.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Patriotic CD.......2004-02-21

    This is a great CD if you ever need or want to have patriotic music. American music played by an American brass band. This group sounds terrific. For those of you unfamiliar with brass band, it is comprised of 25 brass players and 2 or 3 percussionists. You get a rich, full sonority and these guys play GREAT! This CD is HIGHLY recommended to all bras players who want to hear tone quality, timbre, intonation, and more. Band directors would be wise to use this as a model for their students for everything from pitch to phrasing. Everybody else would be wise to pick it up if you like Americana. I know people who use this for their commute because it is upbeat and uplifting. Excellent CD!!!! You may also want to check out their second CD entitled "Christmas Time Is Here". Also highly recommended.

    Are Hot Chip another postmodern buzz band from England making happy-go-lucky pogo-pop as fast as they can before it becomes passe? Thankfully, the answer is hell, no. Not only is there a span of five years between their first EP and their debut, but Hot Chip may in fact be seen as an update of the Beta Band at their loosest and best. A loungey, electropop sheen covers much of the music, but more than anything, Hot Chip displays an omnivorous approach to the entirety of alt, `60s pop and electronic music history. Their songs are infectious, silly and often weirdly beautiful. The hilarious "A-B-C," for instance, is a big pimpin' in the basement tune that crosses acoustic guitars with retro bleeps and will easily appeal to fans of Ween. A London-based group with singer-songwriters Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard at the core, Hot Chip's mixture of textured, smart, lo-fi groove with actual humor is incredibly rare, and great. -Mike McGonigal

    Album Description

    Newly signed to Astralwerks and DFA, Hot Chip is London's twisted electronic pop up & coming band whose influences range from the The Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young and Prince to Ween, Madlib and Devo. Coming On Strong is like a 21st Century electronic version of Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes, having recorded in a murky home studio and brimming with the pleasures of domestic life: eating, sleeping, loving, drunkeness and heartache. The 80s loom large in Hot Chip, with songs like "Take Care" and "Down With Prince" which features a disjointed funk that would make the Purple one smile. US release includes 3 bonus tracks.

    has anyone noticed how the album cover looks strikingly like the album cover for that other brit band, Hi-fi , stars of the cctv . interesting. by the way both albums are good.

    5 out of 5 stars The first half gets all the stars.......2006-03-26

    Think of it as an amazing EP. Other reviewers have got it right - this album is unclassifiable, and amazing -- for about 7 songs. In fact, I'm not positive about anything about this album. It is that unsettling. Imagine Paul McCartney getting brain-damaged and haunted by Beck's Midinite Vultures, with only a cheap keyboard to keep him company. Maybe. I am having a hard time even forming an opinion of these guys, which is usually an indicator that they are doing something very good.

    3 out of 5 stars Close, no cigar.......2006-03-22

    I LIKE Hot Chip's remixes, but this debut album is, truth be told, a bit of a letdown after the slow trickle of singles and 12"s that have been flowing that past few years - all build-up, no climax - nice production sheen and some cool electro noodles, but they're still in search of...er...um...actual SONGS you can wrap your head and ears around. Still the JUSTUS KOHNCKE remix of OVER AND OVER on import is a nice stuff, in a "White Horse" by Laidback sorta way.

    3 out of 5 stars Fun.......2006-03-09

    Won't make you re-think your life - but can make you laugh or relax. Fun.

    5 out of 5 stars happy music for a depressing day.......2006-02-06

    i can't quite figure these guys out... are they a downer band or are they upbeat jokesters? hot chip is the exact center point between dreary radiohead and hip-bucking Beck, and, yes, it is as weird as that sounds. "playboy" is without question the standout track and is one of the very best/weirdest pop songs i've heard in many years. most of the album is incredible , tho there are moments where i wanna rip the keyboard out of their hands... oh well... but most of the album grows like a fungus over repeated spins so it's rewarding as time goes on.

    this record would sound great thumpin' at a summertime party or alone in your room with your headphones as you curse the entire world and everyone in it. one of the more unique listening experiences i've had in a while.

    5 out of 5 stars A Children's Ministry or Mom "Must".......2007-01-18

    We use this music and DVD in our children's ministry, which has a few hundred K-6th grade kids in it. Even our preschoolers love the music and motions. I still like the little songs we all learned, like "This Little Light of Mine", but these guys provide an amazing example of how children can worship God with all their little hearts too. I love the song "Super Strong God". Even though we are leading the kids in worship, I can easily close my eyes and relate to the song. Their choice of words in these songs take it down to their level without turning it into sing-songy Barney songs (although sometimes their commentary between songs can sound a little Barney like, even with those cool Australian accents, but it does hold the kids' attention!). We also sing "Rainbow" often. This age kid is sometimes self conscious to all this, worshiping God like the teenagers and grown-ups do. The DVD shows "cool" teenagers (nobody is wearing a tie or look "churchy") leading worship, and the room is full of kids their age singing and worshiping too. They also have really good kid dancers on the stage. I just can't say enough about the quality of the production of this CD/DVD. Even if you don't care for the DVD, these are songs you won't mind hearing when the kids are yelling "Again, mama. Again!" in the minivan!

    5 out of 5 stars awesome worship cd for kids and parents.......2006-10-24

    My sister recommended this cd for my kids because her kids love it so much, and I'm so glad she did! My kids already know all the words and we love to hear them singing in the backseat of the car "One way, Jesus, you're the only one that I could live for". The whole cd is so sincere and sweet. I think it's a must have for every family. The music is catchy and the kid love it!

    5 out of 5 stars Great for Vacation Bible School.......2006-04-26

    I bought the dvd and am now purchasing the cd. The songs are great for active kids. You need to also buy the dvd to experience the live worship and learn the motions to the songs.

    For Comin' on Strong, Adkins rejoins producer Scott Hendricks, who discovered the rangy Louisiana native in the '90s, signed him to a recording contract, and helmed his initial hits. On Chrome, Adkins's previous release, producer Dan Huff had taken him the predictable pop route--and scored a top five album--but apart from his perfect fit with blue-collar themes, Adkins never sounded completely at home with the album's gussied-up backgrounds. Now Hendricks brings him back to a rootsier sound and makes the most of his distinctive, deep-sea baritone, the likes of which country hasn't heard since Ed Bruce's early-'80s hits. "Missing You," which captures the loneliness of a oil driller far from home, is one of several tunes that show a new maturity and believability in the singer's material, just as "I'd Sure Hate to Break Down Here" and "One Nightstand" again prove Adkins's ability to convey vulnerability in an ultra-masculine fashion. Yet none of those tracks are likely to receive as much attention as "Hot Mama," a tune of middle-aged lust that's sure to keep Adkins popular with both polyester-clad Wal-Mart shoppers and jaded radio programmers, the real gatekeepers of any country singer's career. --Alanna Nash

    4 out of 5 stars Comin' On Strong.......2007-02-07

    That cocky smile he has that can melt a woman's heart is evident thru out the CD packaging and on the CD cover. You can almost hear it in some of the songs as you listen to the tracks. Two of Trace's latest hits are featured on the CD, Red Hot Mama, along with Rough & Ready. They are the first and last songs on the CD, but the songs in between are worth listening too also.

    Trace Adkins is one of my most favorite artist. I havent seen him in concert yet but i am a fan club member and hope to see him in concert soon. In the meantime I have both of his music video dvds. I like every song on this CD. My favorite is HOT MAMA. The video HOT MAMA is really good also.

    5 out of 5 stars Comin' On Strong Does Just That!.......2004-12-12

    Trace Adkins never ceases to amaze me. Each album gets better and better and Comin' on Strong is no exception! This album is steamy and is an excellent representation of Trace's vocal ability and traditional interpretation of country music. There is not one song that is not up to snuff and this is sure to become a favorite of hardcore Trace fans, as well as those who may be discovering him for the first time.

    Great album. If you don't know Saxon at this time, then why are you here? For me, this album and 'Wheels of Steel' are it. This is what I call European metal. Its raw, edgy, and just some sweet rock and roll. Pass the bowl.
