"The Key"
Over a decade of amiable and entertaining
hits,Gill has occasionally emitted flashes of greatness. Using
spare instrumentation, and working amid a foundation of bluegrass
and barroom country sounds, he concentrates on simply stated
yet deeply felt songs about betrayal, loss, and the prospects
of opening a bruised heart to another lover.Gill brings out the
aching beauty of his tenor by settling into gorgeous melodies
laid out with unadorned authority. By daring to bare his innermost
feelings, Gill's achieved the greatness he's hinted at through
the years. --Michael McCall |
Customer review from Amazon
Reviewer: A music fan from Topeka, Kansas
And not just country either... Gill
finally rids himself of the 5 or 6 crossover songs that have
appeared on every effort since "I Still Believe in You"
and gets down to bare-knuckles country music. The music of Conway,
Willie, Hank and Monroe; not Billy Dean, Reba and the Anti-Hank
Garth Brooks. This is it, a return to the roots that have insired
Gill from the beginning. You get the full range in this album,
gut wrenching ballads like "If You Ever Have Forever In
Mind", a great Conway-Loretta like duet with Patty Loveless
and a great Texas shuffle on "I'll Take Texas". This
is the most complete CD by a mainstream country artist in years,
and Gill's best since "When I Call Your Name". The
best CD of 1999 and the best Country CD of the decade. |
