A few years ago, I was re-discovering Country Music, as I
\npurchased a book on Country Number One Hits. And one of the artists
\nthat received top-charters was T. Graham Brown.<\/p>\n
I’ve never heard of Brown, yet I was curious in hearing his
\nstyle of country. His 10-song
\nSuper Hits<\/i>, released in 1995, has today’s pop meeting
\ntoday’s country sound.<\/p>\n
“I Tell It Like It Used To Be” is a number that sounds more pop
\nand blues than country. “I Wish That I Could Hurt That Way Again”
\nis a slow ballad, and has a slight resemblance to Lee Greenwood’s
\n“God Bless The USA”, both musically and vocals, despite the sad
\nsong title.<\/p>\n
“Hell And High Water” is another ballad, and is as touching to
\nlisten to musically, as the previous ballad, “I Wish That I Could
\nHurt That Way Again.”<\/p>\n
“Don’t Go To Strangers” is down-right blues country. The
\nblues-driven guitar leads defines the the blues sound as it meets
\ncountry.<\/p>\n
Another ballad, “The Power Of Love” is as pretty as the previous
\nballads on this album. This one is similar to a ballad done by
\nKenny Rogers and\/or Alabama. “The Last Resort” is another ballad,
\nyet it has a pop touch. Also, “She Couldn’t Love Me Anymore” is
\nanother pop ballad, and it reminds me of Ronnie Milsap’s “There
\nAin’t No Gettin’ Over Me.”<\/p>\n
“Brilliant Conversationalist” is a bouncy pop\/country number,
\nand the lyrics are fun to listen to, as they explain how one’s
\nconversation is just “brilliant,” punctuations and all. “Come As
\nYou Were” is a slow ballad in the area of blues, and reminds me of
\na slow Mickey Gilley blues song.<\/p>\n
And probably my favorite song on this set is the last song,
\n“Darlene.” It just has a grooving country-rock beat, where any rock
\nor country band may want to take a crack at it. This is one song I
\nwouldn’t mind having in our set, if I was in a band. It would be an
\neasy song to do; the bass controls the song, and the guitar
\nlicks\/leads are real cool.<\/p>\n
T. Graham Brown’s music is enjoyable. His style of country is
\nmore in the ballad style, yet his bouncy pop\/country numbers are as
\njust good as the pretty ballads. Of the 10 songs on this album,
\nonly 3 reached number one on the country charts: “Hell And High
\nWater,” “Don’t Go To Strangers” and “Darlene.”<\/p>\n
He may not be a household name in Country Music, but his style
\nis just as entertaining as the late 80s-early 90s country
