"Say No More"
The first couple cuts on East Texan
Clay Walker's seventh album are merely the sort of breathy, overwrought
generic power-pop country ballads that too often clog up the
country charts like bad cholesterol these days. Fortunately,
things quickly brighten as Walker veers masterfully back to his
honky-tonk roots. His rich, earnestly stoic baritone lends itself
particularly well to earthy, Friday-night-at-the-dancehall numbers
like "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again" and the
sorrowful "Could I Ask You Not to Dance." Along the
way, Baker also serves up some sprightly Texas swing on the aptly
named "Texas Swing," which he cowrote, and a delightfully
fiery and dead-on rendition of the 1959 Ritchie Valens standard
"La Bamba." --Bob Allen |

Clay Walker is stepping up and taking
his turn! Showing the world his God-given talent seems to be
the message as he belts out these lyrics with a breathtaking
voice, not to mention how he draws you into each song and it's
meaning with such charismatic magnetism. I am really impressed
with the wide selection of songs from your traditional slow,
"wish I was lovin'" ballads, like "Say No More"
and "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again" to his
trademark groovy-rock beat with "I Love it" where he
sings about his "favorite" - Texas Women! Clay also
shows off his Latin tongue with his very impressive rendition
of "La Bamba", and shows his Texas roots with the nitty-gritty
"Texas Swing". There is something here for everyone
and he is sure to get your attention when he gives it all he's
got with the wonderful "You Deliver Me"! What a great
song! Enjoy! |
