People and Places You need to know.......2001-04-23

Dale Watson aka "The Real Deal", is just that. His unwavering approach to Country music is very refreshing compared to the over produced pop music being labeled as country coming out of Nashville today. Dale and his band The Lonestars are about as talented and friendly a bunch of guy's you would ever want to meet, this album Introduces many real people and places, Heck even Cowboy Lloyd Cross has his own website now, Johnny at the Door is a honky tonkin look at a honky-Tonkin' bouncer, the pedal guitar by Ricky Davis will have you Yearnin for a stool a cold one. If you Like Texas music this is a must have album.

Album Description

The CD Places I've Been..People I've Known is eclectic: blues, jazz, neo-folk and even a little country melded by the versatile and large talent of vocalist and songwriter, Charisse Lowe. Producer Harvey Gerst characterizes the songs as little gems, "beautiful by themselves, gorgeous as a complete necklace. An embarrassment of riches."

Red Dirt Girl Comes Highly Recommended.......2001-09-26

In reviewing Places I've Been,People I've Known, I was particularly struck by the image " you'll see the tailights in the rear view long after I've gone". Charisse Lowe, Kansas based singer songewriter bursts on the scene with an album brimming with great songs that are highly memorable. If you only buy one album this year by a new and emerging artist buy this one. You certainly won't be disappointed.
Not only are all the songs first rate but the arrangements are tight and really cook, a testament to Charisse and to producer Harvey Gerst.
The album kicks off with Life Road Blues with its gospel flavouring. Little prepares you though for Taillights, an instant clasic of rare beauty that throws in flute and cello to emphasise the pathos of the song. It reminded me of a Lennon/McCartney style ballad whilst being totally original. The song is sure to be covered by many artists and will help Charisse grow rich on the royalties. The extensive range of the album is emphasised by Adam Everyday with its southern holler style harmonica.We next have Dancer's Grace,a lyrical piece that uncannily mirrors the real life story of ballerina Alexandra Danilova. The album title comes from Dark Secrets and perhaps the album standout track is Red Dirt,a song already attracting much attention with its perfect country credentials and melodic hook line that continues to spin around in my head.
Lime Green Sweater shows Charisse in vamp bluesy style and Leavin' the North has a warm reflective style that is autobiographical and tells of her migration from Connecticut to South Carolina.The album contains four other songs, all of which are excellent. These are What I Need To Know,Matisse's Violin ( complete with classy fiddle work), Perfect Stranger and Arms Around Me Still, a moving story of human loss after the death of a loved one.
The Nashville and Austin music scenes and beyond should pay careful attention to the Charisse Lowe phenomenon. Her warm and expressive vocals, covering, as they do, such an extensive range, will provide endless listening pleasure.The CD will never be far from my player and the music contained here will remian long in the memory. I hope many other listeners will derive as much pleasure from this album as I have done. Personally I can't wait for Charise's next offering.
