Curb the roadside memorials
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the road
Why is not there four of them, God only knows.
I guess that's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
That's what you leave behind when you go.
- Three Wooden Crosses, Randy Travis
For those who do not know sophisticated, Randy Travis is a country and western legend. Country and Western is a genre of music.
Three Wooden Crosses is a great song. Sad. In real life or death so real, wooden cross on the side of the road, while sad, are not large.
More than 3,000 Canadians die in motor vehicle accidents each year. The trauma of losing a loved one suddenly and violently is beyond human imagination and comfort and so its impossible to address the merits of questionable roadside memorials without seeming insensitive. So I will not even try.
Roadside memorials are bad. They almost can not help but look tacky. Often they are unattended for too long. The flowers fade and the tapes of the fight and they end up looking like nothing so much as garden decorations left out in the wind and rain. They are disturbing, depressing. And they must be bad for tourism.
Randy Travis: Anniversary Celebration < PopMatters
Randy Travis's catalog of songs is still in many ways an American treasure mine. His albums of the 80s are particularly strong, relaxed charm to put a face on the emotional type epic tales of sorrow and pain. Celebrating the anniversary marks the 25th year of the career of Travis. It's a way to bear witness to the enduring power of his songs, but as it mainly reflects the idea of Travis as a legend, putting him alongside the stars of today . Every song but one is a duet with a star of some sort.This includes well-established country stars (Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson) and latest (Josh Turner, Carrie Underwood, Zac Brown Band) legends (John Anderson, Willie Nelson, George Jones), non-country-ish singers (Don Henley, Shelby Lynne) and "Why are they here?" other (Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth, Christian singer Eamonn McCrystal).
In each case, the formula is to take a song by Travis, some new, some old and get Travis and invited to sing together. The pairings sometimes seem deliberate.Brad Paisley was on the song on guitar lick most prominent ("All"). John Anderson is a natural on "Diggin 'Up Bones". Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson on the song of someone who is about to hit the bottom, Kristofferson that sound like he is about to snap as he sings: "My life is in your hands / They say that no one can fix broken as you can. "Nelson also seems to be singing craggier on purpose."Have we not Shine" carries out an assortment of legends past in a nostalgic look, a parade of has-been, in part, by singing a turgid, syrupy song, if Ray Price still sounds awfully good. Sometimes the match-up seems too deliberate, of course it's Jamey Johnson singing about "some boys Ole Country." Other times, the logic behind the pairing is not clear, even staggering....
Music Review: Randy Travis - Anniversary Celebration - Blogcritics ...
That celebrates his 25-year career.
It was released on June 7 and features some great artists that sing along with Randy Travis on the tracks! The artists include: Zac Brown Band, Kristin Chenoweth, Kenny Chesney, Don Henley, Alan Jackson, Jamey Johnson, George Jones, Kris Kristofferson, Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood! These are so many of my favorites!
As a huge fan of country music, I loved this album and the new songs he added in addition to the re-makes of many of my favorites from Randy Travis! My three favorite tracks were "Forever and Ever, Amen," "Can't Hurt a Man," and "Is It Still Over?"
"Forever and Ever, Amen" is my favorite remake from the album because it features the Zac Brown Band and they put a little rock twang into the song and sped up the tempo a little bit. However, it still has the same great lyrics I love and their voices sound so great together.
