Guide Review - Jamie Richards - Between These Lines
"They've Never Been To Texas" tells of how no one in Nashville wants a truly country music song anymore because they think the people don't want it either, so Jamie says that until the big wigs come to Texas to see the honky tonks they can kiss our rear ends because we know what great country is about. "Wasted" is the upbeat first single where Jamie sings about years gone by and letting too many tears flow so he thanks Shiner Bock for making him forget it all.
"Between These Lines" of the wheels is something a truck driver loves along with anything chicken fried because he says "It's a big ole taste of what is real" along with "I'll be a rambling man until the day I die." Since I've started liking Charlie Robison music I've become a fan of the accordion in songs. "The Devil In Me" has one that only makes a great song even greater. "So Did I" is a slower tune about a man that was so torn up that stopped loving himself after the lady did the same.
Dancefloors better get ready for the rather calm "Under The Influence" and the two-steppin' "Last Time 'Til The Next Time." The last song, "Window Up Above" is country to the core, once you see who wrote it (George Jones) you will instantly understand why.
