Review CHRIS STAPLETON - Traveller
Review
OMG…yes, I’ll say
it again…OMG…what a gem Chris produced with this album. One sing-a-long
worthy song after another. When I can say something actually tempers my mood in
the temperamental Dallas traffic, you know it’s gotta be good.
The soothing tones
of even the brokenhearted songs strum through the speakers, reminding me of
lazy days in rocking chairs or a shady riverbank. Days when you go fishing and
don’t even care if you catch a thing, or spend a quirky evening catching
lightning bugs. This is the kind of album I’m talking about.
Fire Away is a
challenge for those with trust issues to take the plunge and believe in
someone. That no matter what you throw their way, they’ve got your back. Even if
it means ultimate demise.
Genius. At least,
it’s this Oklahoma girls opinion.
You don’t have to
be a country music fan to enjoy his red-dirt voice, with just enough grit to
make the songs stick like an Olympic gymnasts landing. The first song,
Traveller, of the album namesake, makes me want to take a road trip with my
best friends- times when all we do is laugh and point out goofy landmarks. (even
stopping in Winslow, Arizona, as I actually did in June with my bestie, Rhonda
and her boy, Ty.)

Now, that’s
loyalty.
Tennessee Whiskey
is a beautiful love ballad with a line unlike I’ve heard before…”But when you
poured out your heart I didn't waste it…” Wow, that’s deep and it’s a
comparison to a bartender’s best:
Genius. At least,
it’s this Oklahoma girls opinion.
So, if you want to
venture over to another side of the music spectrum, give Chris a chance. Rolling Stone agrees.
