iTunes Review
Having divorced Dixie Chick Emily Erwin in 2008 after nine years of marriage, you’d expect Charlie Robison’s 2009 album to open with the kind of embittered divorcee twang that country music fans are used to. But the uplifting “Beautiful Day” reminds us that severance can be a friendly process amongst mature people. The catchy title track muses on the woman he lost while simultaneously poking fun at her, so yes, Robison’s fifth studio long-player is a divorce album. But the tunes here play with a bit more maturity and complicated subject matter than your usual honky-tonk jukebox gems based on broken hearts and bruised egos. Of course it’s not all California sunshine and therapy sessions — in the fast-talking, country-rocking “Yellow Blues” he all but calls his ex a coward — then in the slow burning “Down Again” he blames himself for blowing it with her and faces his own music with a realistic sleep-in-the-bed-you-made redemption. He closes with an eerily sad version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Racing In The Street” because even a songwriter as good as Robison sometimes needs the tunes of others to recognize his pain.
Recent Customer Reviews
Great Music!
by Rick from KnoxvilleBeautiful Day was written during divorce from Emily (i.e., Dixie Chicks) and you can tell. Styles of songs definitely all over the place:
Classic Charlie - Beautiful Day, Down Again, Reconsider
Cajun/Louisana Style - If the Rain Don't Stop, Middle of the Night
Pat Green Style - Feelin' Good
Classic 60's & 70's Sounding - Yellow Blues
Springstine Style - Racing in the Street
Album tracks/fillers - Nothin Better to Do, She's so Fine
After listening to the album several times, the songs in your head aren't necessarily the songs indicated by the ratings. Overall, a good balance of music. Very entertaining. Great sequence on album. Texas (redroad) music at it's finest. Welcome back Charlie!
Written on flight from Detroit, MI to Salt Lake City, UT in Delta 1st class - hardly a place you would expect to find Charlie!
Best sound/production I have heard in a while!
by jringo21Charlie delivers again with 10 solid songs and one of the best sounding albums I have heard in a long while. Several cuts from songwriter Keith Gattis on this album (just like Good Times) and a pretty good cover of Springsteens "Racing In The Streets". Worth the money for sure!
Quality Work
by D&KJettThis is Charlie's best work since Life of the Party. Great to hear him give a s**t again.
