Big Rock – Crazy Cowgirl
To inaugurate this new version of the blog, my first column …
For once, there is now a French artist, Big Rock, one of the few in France that, for me, is worth listening to …
This album was highly anticipated since it is his first album, the previous (Tribute) was an album of covers …
And so in this first album, Crazy Cowgirl, they discovered the musical identity of Big Rock …
The album opens with an instrumental crazy (just like a Brad Paisley …).
Wedged between two times ( “Drinkin ‘Songs & Other Logic” by Clint Black and “Blame The Vain” by Dwight Yoakam), one finds a Country-Rock, with influences from Red Dirt …
The fifth title, “Freeland”, is a good way of honky-tonk, one of my favorite tracks of this album!
“A Place in the Sun” is more in the style of Jimmy Buffett, the type of security is needed at this time to warm up …
After a group of Texan Eli Young Band ( “Oklahoma Girl”) is the title “Cowgirl Crazy” …
This is the first single taken from this album, and it is a title that should appeal to both dancers as lovers “country moving” …
Follows a title may be prescient ( “I Want to go to Nashville”), a reprise of Hank Williams ( “Hey Good Lookin ‘), and finally an excellent outro que je vous laisse découvrir …
In summary, the album was due for fans, and the least we can say is that they will not be disappointed!
For a first album, the cocktail is explosive, fun titles, and musical quality!
My notes for Crazy Cowgirl is 3 stars 1 / 2
The album will be available soon on the official site of Big Rock, so do not miss it, it’s the first surprise of this year 2009!
Finally, to be quite full, you can listen to excerpts from the album on the MySpace of Big Rock …
