Actual footage of actual Nashville. I don't think I've ever seen any footage of Nashville before.

Faintly 'murder ballad-y'.

Nashville is a pretty well-to-do city.

It's Memphis that's the crime-ravaged cr*dhole. sad yes

I like it. It looks like something you could use to electrically remove leg hair.

Getting quite like that Johnny Cash album.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri 9 Jul 2021 - 19:50

I'd like to hear Miley tackle this one. yes

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri 9 Jul 2021 - 19:52

It is over.

I thought that was an excellent album, beautifully written, beautifully performed and filled with the kind of darkness that is Country music's main gift to humanity.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri 9 Jul 2021 - 19:52

I shall give it 5 stars.

That was, to me, very much a by-the-numbers album.

Everything was absolutely predictable (music and words) and the production was much too polished for its own good and anything songs were trying say (about, say personal tragedy and the darker side of life) was buried by it.

That said, there was nothing remotely offensive about it: a good or bad thing, IMO, yes.

However it would be churlish to be too down it as a whole.

Still, a generous three Wendi-asterisks from my end. cheeky
