Texas roadhouse veteran Delbert McClinton hit upon his masterful mix of country, blues, and R&B stylings decades ago, but it took the Grammy-winning 2001 release, Nothing Personal, to fully showcase his talents. Room to Breathe, once again benefiting from a diverse selection of original McClinton songs, updates and embellishes the approach with most of the same participants present. McClinton uses his classic blue-eyed-soul voice with full authority and more than a little eclecticism, bouncing through "Blues About You, Baby" with an almost Jerry Lee Lewis boogie feel, while infusing the snaky "Jungle Room" with laid-back nightclub coolness. "Ain't Lost Nothin'," cowritten with producer Gary Nicholson and harp hero Kim Wilson, is the purest blues expression, although the piano-led ballad "Everything I Know About the Blues," a McClinton-Nicholson tune cowritten by Heartbreaker Benmont Tench, also works well. McClinton rocks through "Same Kind of Crazy," gets funky on "The Rub," and even conjures a distant Lynryd Skynyrd echo on the uptempo "Money Honey." Yet his biggest effort is saved for the star-studded sing-along "Lone Star Blues," a tribute to Texas complete with fiddle and pedal steel guitar and featuring an anthemic country chorus from a host of famous McClinton friends and fans. --Michael Point

solid, professional and really good.......2005-10-19
Perhaps the most valuable service Delbert provides to us (other than making some of the best music available) is showing how fine the line is between r&B and country.Unfortunately as a result he only gets played when he shows up on IMUS in the Morning.
Definately one to own-but make sure you have "Fortunate Few" and "Never Been Rocked Enough" too.
Triple Threat!.......2005-07-28
Dilbert writes these songs with a sharp insight into the
human condition...'witness what I said he done.', and
'that woman's the same kind of crazy as me!'.
Clever arranging prevents any let down as tunes spin by,
then, as always, McClinton performance is peerless.
Challenge: Find a single number that doesn't work!
Great Album.......2003-05-21
True Confessions.......2003-02-08
Delbert McClinton's "Room to Breathe" is an excellent accomplishment. Delbert went through a creative period where he turned out a lot of songs and was ready to head back to record within a year after "Nothing Personal." 4 tracks are instant classics. The opener "Same Kind of Crazy" bounces with a great punching rhythm section, "Ain't no doubt about it; she's the same kind of crazy as me." "Everything I Know About the Blues" (I learned from you) is a slow burn that has "standard" written all over it with Todd Sharp's bluesy piano and Kevin McKendree doing some very classy strings on this track. If Etta James doesn't record this, I'm gonna lose a BIG bet. "Blues About You" is a great boogie woogie, "The hardest thing honey 'bout having' the blues, like I'm walkin' the floor in a dead man's shoes." "Ain't Lost Nothin'" has that great Jimmy Reed kind of beat with Lynn Williams' drums propelling this burning rocking blues. The other tracks including "Don't Want to Love You" are also great. So my advice is to not try to compare this Delbert CD to his others because, quite frankly, he's consistently brilliant! So plunk down the spare change and get some room to breathe! Enjoy!
the great mcclinton does it again - and even better!.......2003-01-20
And this man gets better and better with age. It's unbelievable. This is his very best album yet.
His gritty, relaxed voice is doing great, the band plays with a nice rough edge, the songs are great and it's a fantastic album.
I've played it again and again in different ways, and it keeps getting better. For instance: I think Money Honey doesn't last long enough, it should keep on rolling for at least half an hour, so I put it on repeat. That's when you start to find the subtleties in this music, and you never get bored.
This man should be world famous.

Reba McEntire's first album in four years finds the spunky redhead (and sitcom star) thinking like a singer again. Where she'd virtually burned out, doing too many albums a year, she's now thoughtful about her material, updating her repertoire with the hill-country radio hit, "I'm Gonna Take That Mountain," while also drawing on the kinds of meaty ballads that propelled her to diva-ness. If "Moving Oleta," a nursing home tale of love, is too squishy a topic for most folks, McEntire seems to be saying that it's high time we looked unflinchingly at a full range of relationships beyond the standard romantic fare. To that end, there's the woman-to-woman song, "My Sister," the pained adoption tale of "Secret," and the bittersweet "He Gets That From Me," a tribute to families who lost loved ones on 9/11. By the time McEntire mixes in some uptempo dance tunes, a gospel number, and a straight-country waltz, she's delivered an album that's a combination of all of the types of music she's recorded over the past 25 years. Thankfully she keeps her trademark vocal curlicues to a minimum, which allows guests Alison Krauss, Union Station vocalist/guitarist Dan Tyminski, and Vince Gill to sweeten the sound. But it's really all Reba, in a very classy return. --Alanna NashCustomer Reviews:
first CD in 4 years.......2007-07-15
The 3rd single "He Gets That From Me" is about a son that has characteristics of his father and mother. You do not know what happened to the dad in the video until the very end when they go to the graveyard to visit the father's grave. Breath taking video if you ask me and is also very sad. The 4th single "My Sister" is about 2 sisters that are best friends but are miles apart and they call each other from time to time. 2 other songs on this CD that are moving are "Moving Oleta" and "Sky Full Of Angels"
EXCELLENT!!!!.......2007-02-06
*Okay anyway... I absolutely love this album. The particular song that I absolutely love is "Secret" I can totally relate to it. I was gave up for adoption... so put two and two together and there ya go ;)
Anyone who wants a GREAT album, with the greatest Country-Western female singer since Pasty Cline then this is definitely the perfect one for ya!
Nice CD.......2007-02-01

OMG! ZOEgirl has another great album!.......2006-11-13
Wow!.......2006-08-30
1. Reason to live - 9/10 A really good beginning! Zoegirl always knows how to beging their album, and this song is very encouraging.
2. Dead serious - 10/10 Wow, this is a very pop, dancy song! Chrissy's voice in the chorus is amazing, I like her the best. This song is also really cool to sing along to, and it's very energetic.
3. About you - 10/10 A very great single! They need to make a video of this song sometimes, it would be interesting to see what it's like, and the lyrics are so true
4. Scream - 10/10 Oh, this song is so beautiful!It's so encouraging and uplifting, it's a very sweet song written by Alisa. And you definitely don't have to scream for God to hear your prayers!
5. Forevermore - 10/10 This song is also mainly sang by Alisa, at least in the chorus, which is by far the best part of this song! It talks about how our Lord Jesus Christ is forevermore Holy, and that He reigns all the earth.
6. The way You love me - 9/10 This song is also very sweet, but I gave it 9 out of 10 because it's a little too slow of a song for my taste. But I still like it a lot, because the lyrics are important to know.
7. Let it out - 10/10 Ok, this song is EXACTLY the opposite of the previous one! It is very upbeat and energetic, and also a very short song he he.
8. Good girl - 10/10 This one is great too! I didn't like it TOO much when I first heard it, but now I think it's really cool, especially with Chrissy singing the chorus so well!
9. Not the one - 10/10 Cool! Chrissy sings the whole song, and it sounds great! She and Alisa wrote it, and it talks about how they changed themselves completely, and that they became christains and finally stopped taking advice from wicked people and all.
10. Skin deep - 10/10 My favorite song on the whole CD! This is a very sweet and true song that Kristen wrote, and she has a very pretty voice when singing this (the whole song is sang by her), and the tune is so beautiful. We are definitely soooooo much more than skin deep!
11. Safe - 10/10 A perfect ending to this album. It really is because it talks about us christains spending eternity with God in Heaven, and that if you believe in Christ as your Saviour, you're safe, and that's what the world will be like in the end, which is why this is such a perfect ending to the album!
Anyway, there you have it! Those reasons listed above are the reasons why I love this album. I REALLY hope the make another album, but I'm not sure they will, and if they don't, I'll miss them and their music sooooooo much! It's always so nice to pop in one of their CD's (I own them all) and listen to their voices, hearing them sing their praises to the Lord! So, if you like Christain music, I urge you to buy this CD, it's great! And if there are any non-christains reading my interview who don't know the Lord, please buy this CD and see if you like it. And if you do, I hope it will change your heart and that you will get to know Christ someday. Trust me, it's definitely worth it!

Room to Breathe - Tiresom.......2006-05-21
Overall, it was a great CD, the songs show young girls to live for God but with a great, contemerary beat. It's just not good to have JUST this CD, because it will eventually grow tiresome.
AWESOME CD, VERY UPLIFTING!!.......2006-03-21

More great Chenilles.......2002-07-12
On first hearing, I liked this album a little less than some of their others, but after a while I find I like it more. As always, the harmonies are delightful. They combine a jazzy 50s sound and texture with modern subject matter.
The lyrics are not great poetry, but they're thoughful. If "About Happiness" doesn't make you cry a little you've lived a life very different from mine. At bottom, I think, that's what I like about the Chenilles--their songs are not about the trite excesses of the youth culture, instead they remind you of feelings worth feeling. They manage to be both tuneful and thoughtful.
Super Sweet Harmonies.......2002-04-21
I wish I could say the same for their songwriting. The lyrics themselves are straight up and forthright with little embellishment or simile.
While these gals have most excellent voices their own songs are not quite ready for prime time. The songs on this disc vary seem to be written from either the "Mother with Kids" or "Single & Looking" viewpoints. The only gems on the disc are written by other folks & you can hear the difference.
I bet the Chenille Sisters are great live but their probable stage presence doesn't translate on the CD.
I'd skip this one unless you're a fan.

A superb indie CD from the south..........2004-10-26
Although I like almost all the tracks on the Album, my favorites are "Not Tonight" and "Down". Both are soulful ballads with heartfelt lyrics and great melody, one about breaking up and the other about moving on. I'm not particularly fond of track 7, "Pick Up". The entire last verse is "na-na-na-na" Like the writer was struggling to come up with lyrics, but at 4:18 it's the second longest track on the disc. He should have quit while he still had something to sing about.
Other tracks that warrant praise are numbers 2, 5, 9, and 12. All are quite lively and well worth radio airplay. In fact, if you're anywhere near Birmingham, AL then you've probably heard them on WRAX from time to time.
Finally, if you have a chance you should slip over to http://www.adelayda.com and see if the band is playing anywhere near you. I've seen them live, and they put on a great show. The lead singer, Jeff, is very personable and will gladly talk to you about anything and everything. Do try to catch them live if possible, it's money well spent.
