Wonderful album, probably his best in over a decade. I liked everything on the album, even “Oughta Miss Me By Now” which I do not regard as a dud, although it isn’t one of the albums stronger songs. Agree with the A rating you gave it
The title is a little ham-handed. “Tradition lives” is something that the listener should feel on his own upon hearing the album. If they have to tell you, then it spoils part of the discovery.
But I’m glad Mark has a new album. To my mind, Chesnutt, along with Aaron Tippin–when he wasn’t acting the buffoon–were the best of the ’90s “neo-traditionalist” honkytonk singers. Can’t wait to hear it.
Here’s a bulletin (also known as Marketing 101) Before anyone can “discover” something they must first purchase it. A descriptive title is a helpful component of that. For a traditional country album the title is well chosen. Mark was alerting consumers to the content of his new album. Well done. Ham handed? Your contention is ridiculous!
And Mark never acted the buffoon either. Where on earth do you come up with this absurd stuff?
Hey, they could have called Randy Travis’s first album “Tradition Lives” instead of “Storms of Life.” I doubt that that title would have been as effective. The “acting the buffoon” was a reference to Tippin. I’d guess most people got it. But thanks for your comment. Always enjoy your astute perceptiveness and your openness to discussion on those rare times that I hear from you.
Perhaps if your comments were more accurate & succinct you wouldn’t have to be called out so often. And in case you haven’t picked up on it, most of your posts are ignored.
Easily the best album of the year so far and it has me even more excited to see Mark live next week.
