Great, obscure old Berlin!.......2002-08-07

As a cast member on this album, I'm a little bit biased, but it's this is really a chance to get a listen to some really fabulous Berlin. This is Berlin's first Broadway show and has some great gems like "Have the Boys Around Me" and a bunch of great catchy tunes. It's a wide mix of Berlin and if you're a big fan, it's a great chance to hear him in still somewhat developmental stages. A couple songs from this show were later re-worked and put into other shows. It's also has a great feel for the period and shows the influences around the time he was writing: opera (Opera Melody), cowboys (I Gotta Go Back to Texas) and Hawaii (Honolulu Girls). It's a keeper!

Also on this CD is a great tribute to Berlin's counterpoint tunes. It's a mix of all three of the greats: Simple Melody, Old Fashioned Wedding, and Just in Love. Sung individually and then all three together! You won't get that anywhere else.

+1/2 -- Homespun, but still Nashville.......2004-06-24

There's certainly a good helping of twang here, but the vibe is often more tuned into early '90s Nashville (think early Clint Black or Garth Brooks) than Austin, Houston or Dallas. The album mixes spunky honky-tonk and Southern rock with the less edgy material found on more mainstream Nashville albums.

The strongest cuts are upbeat numbers such as the swampy "Hickabilly Beat," the mid-tempo canter "This Side of a Heartache," and the Texas-styled swing of "Disgustingly Domesticated." Blake turns on a strong two-step beat for "Honkytonk Hankerin'," and the twangy adolescent longing of "Hot Rod Chevy" is reminiscent of Alan Jackson's "Chattahoochee."

Less distinctive are crossover tunes like "I'm Home" and "Rich Man," which set their homespun lyrics amidst florid bass and piano, smoothed drums and slick harmonies, and the spoken-sung "She's All That" sounds like any number of recent country radio hits. The one ballad that really shines is Blake's tale of childhood poverty and family riches, "Christmas Things."
