IF YOU LIKE ALL Burl Ives’S SONG GO FOR IT! twelve years ago, Burl Ives briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Billy Bayou”. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Burl Ives on ‘Mary Ann Regrets’. I wish that “The Nashville Years, Vol. 3″ album was instrumental.
Billy Bayou gets you up and jumping. The Moon Is High presents the marvelous mix of instruments on The Nashville Years, Vol. 3. If you are a Burl Ives fan, you will love Green Turtle. Bury The Bottle With Me - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Burl Ives. The Blizzard is a fine track on any terms. It Comes And Goes is probably the most interesting track on The Nashville Years, Vol. 3. Some call I’m The Boss from The Nashville Years, Vol. 3 as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Strong, powerful vocals of Burl Ives in The Same Old Hurt (remake 1963) are very impressive. Curry Road marked the continuation of Burl Ives in style evolution. The Deepening Snow is a amazing sing-along. She Didn’t Let The Ink Dry On The Paper (2:27) - awsome. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Home, James hits the heart. Man About Town is one of the best records ever. She Called Me Baby had me crying as I was able to relate so well. My Chicken Run Way To The Bush defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Baby Come Home To Me is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. I was truly moved when I heard Roses And Orchids. Get The Nashville Years, Vol. 3 and turn on Lynching Party if you are going to sip your wine late at night. A Hundred Twenty Miles From Nowhere is the song that really did it for me. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. I Found My Best Friend In The Dog Pound - Check out that bassline! I’ll Hit It With A Stick has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. There is excellent mix of music in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Some Folks - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. I’ll Walk Away Smiling is outstanding work of Burl Ives. There Goes Another Pal Of Mine is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. This Is Your Day has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. This is probably my favorite song on the album.
