Many times in life we are told about something new that we ‘need to see’ or ‘give a chance’ and we either pass or reluctantly… finally get
around to it. Based on the words of Cody
Canada telling us that “if Jason Eady is not the biggest thing in Texas within
a year, then something is majorly wrong”, we took him at his word. Fortunately we did not need to wait long as
Jason Eady’s fourth album, AM Country Heaven, had just recently came out and he played a CD release
party here in Houston at the Firehouse Saloon.
Listening to the album is like watching the hands of time go
backwards right in front of you. There
is only one song that we can pinpoint, “Longer Walk In The Rain”, that would
fit the format of today’s country radio.
(And we mean that as a compliment.)
The rest of the songs harken back to where expressing yourself, in any
format, was what really mattered. There
are songs that reminisce about the days of old such as the title track “AM
Country Radio” and “Old Guitar and Me” to a song like “Man on A Mountain” that
literally sounds like it could have been a B-side to a Dolly Parton/Kenny
Rogers album. There are songs about
drinking, losing a lover, and doing all the things good ol’ boys are supposed
to do. All in all, there’s at least one
song for every listener.
If you want to find
out why your parents fell in love with country music then have a listen to this
album. The music feels authentic and
that is something that cannot be faked.
While todays musical landscape remains dominated by cookie-cutter artist
doing what is pandered to them and making sure to fit the right mold, it is very
refreshing to see and hear an artist going against the stream and helping us
all remember what good music should sound like. There will be more great things
to come from Mr. Eady. We’re counting on
it!
Check him out for yourself...and let us know what you think!
