Mo Pitney viene de Rockford, en Illinois, y consiguió debutar hace cuatro años con Behind This Guitar, un álbum en el que colaboraban Morgane Stapleton y Alison Krauss. Sus inclinaciones hacia la tradición y los sonidos acústicos se salen de las normas que suele dictar la industria de Music City, aunque milite en un sello poderoso como Curb Records que tiene previsto publicar un segundo álbum a mitad de agosto al que da nombre este "Ain't Lookin' Back", subrayando que tiene una habilidad especial para seleccionar canciones que pueden llevar la firma de expertos en la materia. American Jackpot/American Girls es la nueva propuesta de Reckless Kelly, tomando el revelo a Sunset Motel de hace cuatro años. La idea era escribir sobre Estados Unidos y su gente, pero con la intención de no hacer himnos ni pontificar sobre ello. Lo que iba a ser un álbum sencillo se convirtió en dos ofertas gemelas con un total de 20 canciones en el que se encuentran historias de personajes convincentes, arrepentimientos y remordimientos, amores y rupturas. Todo con un robusto sonido envolvente. “Lonesome On My Own”, que forma parte del segundo de los discos, siendo una de las canciones que se les acumularon a los hermanos Braun en aquellas sesiones, manifiesta formas más amables de la banda de Idaho afincada en Austin. La otra parte de la “familia Braun” se reúne en Micky & The Motorcars, con Micky y Gary Braun como pilares fundamentales de un grupo que se marchó a Nashville para ser producidos por Keith Gattis, aunque persisten en su rock enraizado tras 17 años en la carretera y tomando el pulso vital al resurgir de Austin como capital del mundo de la música en directo. El tema que ha dado nombre genérico al registro, compuesto entre Micky Braun y Bruce Robison, es el encargado de culminar el proyecto, celebrando los altibajos de cualquier aventura para lograr algo importante. Es el viaje de unos contadores de historias cotidianas y reales. Desde que supimos de la creación de The Panhandlers, comentamos que el supergrupo que forman William Clark Green, Josh Abbott, John Baumann y Cleto Cordero estaba concebido para grabar un álbum de versiones en homenaje a los Flatlanders, el legendario trío de los legendarios Joe Ely, Butch Hancock y Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Sin embargo, aquel proyecto derivó hacia un disco de temas originales tras reunirse en la tejana ciudad de Marfa, para componer. Todas las canciones tienen que ver con el panhandle de Texas, un lugar poco agradecido que suele pasarse por alto. Y todas ellas están compuestas por los cuatro miembros de los Panhandlers, excepto la que sirve de apertura, "West Texas in My Eye", escrita por el compositor y fotógrafo de la ciudad de Lubbock Charlie Stout como una evidente fantasía escapista y en la que los integrantes del cuarteto se reparten el protagonismo vocal. Esta semana ocupa la primera plaza de la Texas Regional Radio Report la Chad Cooke Band con “Four Minutes”, un tema perfecto de two step para llenar las pistas de cualquier honky tonk… en el momento oportuno. Hablamos de un cuarteto originario de Houston que se mueve en los terrenos de la Red Dirt Music desde Oklahoma City hasta San Antonio, con guiños a los buenos tiempos de Brooks & Dunn y procurando no olvidar las armonías vocales que caracterizaron a los Eagles. Debutaron hace cuatro años con su álbum Easy Way Home y en la primavera de 2018 se marcharon a Nashville para proseguir su andadura que ha dado como resultado un segundo trabajo, Risk It All, del que forma parte es “Four Minutes”. Aquellos que siguen insistiendo en que el country clásico ha desaparecido con las nuevas generaciones, debería echar una escucha a Elijah Ocean. Para recuperar la tradición y las maneras de los buenos y viejos tiempos puede bastar recluirse en un estudio casero de Los Angeles, a donde llegó desde su Maine natal, y sacar a la luz las esencias del honky tonk para su quinto álbum en solitario, Blue Jeans & Barstools, que parece reclamar la vuelta de los mejores sonidos de la californiana Bakersfield y el espíritu de los legendarios forajidos de la escena campera. "Cleaned Up in Vegas", uno de los cortes más sobresalientes de un álbum bien equilibrado y altamente recomendable, muestra la desgarradora angustia del drogadicto. A primeros de abril, Charley Crockett nos sorprendió con 30 temas de baja calidad sonora que tituló Field Recordings Vol. 1 y ofreció para descarga digital. La grabación fue realizada junto a Kyle Madrigal en la granja que este posee en Mendocino County, al norte de California. Estaba formada por canciones propias y versiones de otras muy enraizadas en la tradición. Pero el artista sigue fiel a su inquieta personalidad y ya podemos escuchar la canción que dará nombre a su nuevo álbum de estudio, Welcome To Hard Times, previsto para el 31 de julio y donde mantiene el equilibrio entre country clásico, rhythm and blues y ciertas pinceladas de spaghetti western. Como viene haciendo en los últimos tiempos, este tejano nativo de San Benito está filmando y dirigiendo una serie de videos que el mismo protagoniza a lo largo de paisajes desérticos. Es la tierra que describe su sonido… y viceversa. Cody Jinks también ha publicado nueva música en estas fechas, la primera novedad desde que el pasado año nos regalara dos álbumes como The Wanting y After The Fire. La resistencia y la esperanza en días mejores suele ser el mensaje más habitual en tiempos de cuarentena, aunque el tejano haya tomado un camino diferente con "Watch the World Die", un tema melancólico que va adquiriendo dureza antes de que todo desaparezca. La solución es mantener el dedo corazón bien erguido y hacer el amor toda la noche. El toque esperanzador llega en versos como "Por la mañana, si estamos solo nosotros dos, sabremos que lo hemos hecho bien". Otro nombre que añadir a la lista de artistas con personalidad suficiente para conquistarnos es Kylie Frey, que creció compitiendo en el circuito del rodeo y componiendo desde muy corta edad. Sus padres apoyaron sus inclinaciones musicales y tras actuar en distintos locales de Texas y su natal Louisiana (ella nació hace 25 años en Opelousas, la tercera ciudad más antigua de aquel estado), debutó a finales de 2014 con su álbum Cinderella Dreams, del que destacó un tema propio editado en single, “The Chase”, logrando una importante repercusión en las emisoras de country tejanas. Hace tres años nos hicimos eco de su dúo con Randy Rogers en “Too Bad”, una balada impecable para un EP que produjo Paul Worley, seguido hace unos meses por “One Night in Tulsa” y ahora llega “Spur Of The Moment”, una de las canciones favoritas en las emisoras tejanas… y en TOMA UNO. Caitlin Cannon es puro desparpajo y optimismo. Nativa de Alabama, con un padre que abandonó a la familia, una madre peluquera esforzada por sacar adelante su hogar y un hermano en prisión, celebra con descaro y orgullo su situación y la de quienes sobreviven a los malos momentos con esfuerzo. Y lo hace en "Going For Bronze", el tema de apertura de su última novedad, un álbum con el explícito título de TrashCannon. Pero entre bravuconadas y cierto desapego emocional, Caitlin confiesa su alcoholismo y alguna que otra adicción para ahogar la realidad de una mala relación, cobijada en el rockabilly, algunos acentos punk y el llamado countrypolitan. Es la mejor manera de reflejar su soledad, frustración y el desafío ante situaciones injustas. Regreso a las raíces y a las botas. Vuelta a los sonidos originales y a las tradiciones que han construido un género tan particular como el country. Ese es el camino recorrido por Tessy Lou Williams, sobre cuyo álbum de debut, de título homónimo, llamábamos la atención hace varias semanas. Criada en Willow Creek, una localidad de alrededor de 210 habitantes en el estado de Montana, pasó por la tejana Austin y ha terminado en Nashville, de donde partieron en origen sus padres, también músicos. En la Music City ha contado con el apoyo de artistas como Ashley Campbell, Carl Jackson, Larry Cordle o Jon Randall. “Your Forever Will Never Say Goodbye” es una de las grandes canciones de este álbum, pero no la única. Ha estado casi una década al frente de Tessy Lou & the Shotgun Stars, pero ya era el momento de lanzarse en solitario a las aguas del country clásico, con evidentes influencias de Lee Ann Womack y Patty Loveless. En su disco de título homónimo Tessy Lou Williams despliega tonalidades de honky tonk, baladas enternecedoras y un respeto casi secular por la tradición, como se hace evidente en "Someone Lonely", la canción de su padre, una robusta balada recubierta por el Steel guitar de Mike Johnson. Su debut supone uno de los más apasionantes activos del presente de una country music que está recuperando su razón de ser desde la independencia de sus nuevas propuestas, al otro lado de las grabaciones sobre-producidas que atiborran las emisoras de radio fórmula del género. Convertir una súplica en una promesa es el milagro que Whitney Rose consigue en “Don’t Give Up On Me”, la canción que hoy cierra nuestro tiempo de radio y nos emplaza para la próxima semana. La artista canadiense, afincada y afianzada en Texas, nos ha hechizado a todos con un trabajo tan solvente como We Still Go to Rodeos, un último trabajo con un arsenal emocional evidente Escuchar audio

Cinderella Dreams of Fire by Casey Lane Published on August 15th by the author. 44 Reviews with a 4.7 star average https://www.amazon.com/Cinderella-Dreams-Fairy-Tales-Forever-ebook/dp/B01K227NN2/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1472101302&sr=1-1&keywords=cinderella+dreams+of+fire   What if Cinderella led a double life? Cinderella has a secret. In the 10 years since her mother's death, she's only pretended to be too weak to challenge her cold-blooded stepmother. By day, she cleans the floors and washes the laundry. By night, she takes to the streets as a fearless thief with no equal. Out on a routine mission, Cinderella never expected that she'd run into him… Braedon is hardly a model prince. He spends most of his time in the tavern, much to the dismay of his royal mother. When an unexplainable blight strikes the queen's soldiers down, Braedon's attempt to help brings him face-to-face with the beautiful, sardonic thief. He wants nothing more than to partner up with her, even if it could get him killed… The thief would much rather work alone, but the prince’s persistence starts to wear down her defenses. When the evil force decimating the army turns its attention to the throne, Cinderella and Braedon have one chance to save the kingdom, their loved ones, and themselves. Cinderella Dreams of Fire is the first book in the Fairy Tales Forever series, a set of fantasy novels that inject the classic retellings you know with a burst of attitude. If you like strong female characters, action-packed fantasy, and simmering chemistry, then you’ll love Casey Lane’s romantic, fast-paced adaptation. There are five chapters in the Amazon preview. I'm going to read you the first two chapters, about 15 pages. (Read Chapters) I wanted to review this one right away because I follow the author on the Sell More Book Show podcast and have read the first book of the "Ted Saves the World" series. He's writing under this new pen name and using the "Write to Market" method to publish books in a niche that is currently under represented but performing well. This method also stresses writing quickly to meet the market demand for the genre. He has promoted the book heavily and it is performing well in the Amazon charts. He's gotten several #1 best seller rankings and is hoping to stay in the top 2500 for all books on Amazon for the next month. I have to admit, I was a little let down after reading these first two chapters. I had gotten used to the sharply detailed, quality writing of the last few books I've reviewed. This is not "My Lady Jane", "The Paper Magician", or "Learning to Swear in America". It reads like it was written very quickly with a focus on telling the story and not showing us the depth of character detail or the fantasy environment. I read the first two chapters originally, before I read the synopsis, so it left me a little confused. In fact, it appears to me that the author spent more time fine tuning the synopsis than he did writing the story. Chapter 1. We view the story through one girl's eyes. Kayla? With a visit to a country tavern. We get the information that they were once princesses but are currently starving. The mother asks about a local Duke. When the tavern keeper's daughter comes in the older sister draws a knife. Besides cruelly cutting the girl, her mother makes an obscure comment that she wants something more than what the keeper can offer. We learn in the second chapter that it was the duke's hand in marriage. How she got that from threatening the tavern keeper isn't explained. Did the tavern keeper have some special connection to the Duke? It's kind of hard for me to believe. Chapter 2 we meet Cinderella. I'll admit, I expected her to have a slightly different name. I guess that was my bad. I mean the name of the book is "Cinderella Dreams of Fire", but also expected a creatively different approach to the use of the name. We find her cleaning up a wine stain, not cinders, and learn a little of how she came to be in this mess. It appears that Casy knows the mechanics of story telling and punts a zinger at the end of each chapter to encourage the reader to continue to the next page. Neither zinger worked for me and left me somewhat annoyed. Chapter 1's was a little darker and violent than I had expected, though it showed me what a cruel person the mother and older sister were. And then in the next chapter the introduction that Cinderella works for the Godmother came across as silly and contradictory to the first chapter. On his recap of his writing process in the bonus episode of the "Sell More Book Show" the author talks about knowing the tropes of the genre. I don't know if silliness is one of the expected tropes, like watching a Shrek movie, or not. If it is, the first chapter was entirely out of place. If the author didn't mean for it to come across as silly, then I completely misread this second chapter ending. In conclusion, if Fairy Tale retellings is a genre that you like, you might like this one. I've mentioned before that one of my all time favorite books is "Beauty" by Patricia McKillop. It was neither dark not silly, just beautifully written. I give this a three star recommendation, "Try it. You might like it." I will have to take a pass on this one and spend my time reading something else. Knowing the other things this author has written I expected a higher quality of writing and story telling. It seems like he has put his quality efforts into marketing this one.
