Underwood and Travis collaborate on a country classic
Carrie Underwood took a gamble when she recorded her own version of Randy Travis’ 1988 country classic “I Told You So” for her sophomore album ‘Carnival Ride,’ but she took an even bigger risk when she released it as the album’s fifth single. Now, Underwood is joined by Travis on a duet of the song, signaling that the risks paid off tenfold. The new version of the track sounds fresh despite featuring artists that have already done solo versions of the song, and Underwood’s soft, angelic vocals complement Travis’ rustic, gritty vocals perfectly. There are moments where “Told You” comes off sounding a little too much like a cut-and-paste job, but overall Underwood’s harmonies take the song places it has never been. Even though Underwood is as commercially-friendly as country singers come, her ability to connect with the country style of yesteryear is undeniable, and proves that she could have been just as bright a star had she been around as an artist twenty years ago. As if Carrie Underwood even needed additional “authentic country cred,” her duet with Randy Travis on “I Told You So” should keep the dissenters quiet once and for all.
i love this!
There has always been talk among fans of country music about the changing sound of the genre; and the seemingly lack of appreciation today's artists have of the past. In comes Carrie Underwood to release a 5th single from her album, Carnival Ride, sending a clear message where her heart lies. While the move was deemed a risk at the time, it shouldn't be any surprise, in retrospect, since she has consistently shown her respect for old school country music throughout her career. Throughout her very short career thus far, Underwood has been able to showcase her versatility, by reinterpreting George Michael's "Praying For Time", the Pretenders "I'll Stand By You"; and yet maintain her commitment to older school country music. Some of her best live performances have taken stage at the Grand Ole Opry (Tammy Wynette's Stand By Your Man") and this stunning vocal of a Randy Travis hit. It's no wonder the Grand Ole Opry decided to request her to sing this song and have Travis sneek up on her towards the end to extend an invitation to the historic institution. A year after that emotional evening where Underwood and her fans shed tears of joy, she returns to the studio along with Travis to deliver a stunning duet. Initially, one may think their voices are so different; yet their voices blend oh so smoothly together. Underwood effortlessly switches between her flawless high notes and soothing harmonies; while Travis lends a more mellow, mature voice to the track. This combination between voices from country greats from 2 eras is a must have for all music lovers!
Brilliant
Anything Carrie Underwood does is heaven! and this is not an exception! Her brilliantly beautiful voice accompanied by the beautiful stilings of Opry legend Randy Travis is truly a musical event that shouldn't be missed. They will perform this song on American idol tomorrow. Be sure not to miss it! And def. 100% without a question: BUY IT!
