This lovely young Texan lady sure has a strong hold on west-
ern-swing music. Harold Bradley produced this album in Good-
lettsville, Tennessee, and he certainly brought some talented mu-
sicians into the studio to make this remarkable album. Emily
George has the perfect voice for this kind of very beautiful 'west-
ern' style music, with the 'swing' just right.
It's remarkably well done, especially the 'mix' which puts Emi-
ly's beautiful voice out front where it needs to be. Some of todays
music has the vocalist so hidden in the mix you can't even under-
stand the words they are singing.
Surely not the case with Emily, she tells the 'story' of the song,
and tells it beautifully, much like it used to be when it was so tre-
mendously popular. Emily is on a 'preservation' journey, though
she might not know it, she is keeping western swing music alive
and well, and that sure is good medicine for those who like mu-
sic to be interesting, listenable, original sounding, well recorded,
well mixed, and entertaining. Emily has accomplished this and
much more.
The 'swing' musicians are super: Rhythm guitar-Harold Brad-
ley, Andy Riess and Joe Settlemires; lead guitar-Andy Riess and
Joe Settlemires; upright bass-Dennis Crouch; fiddle-Kenny Sears
(he adds that just right Bob Wills Spade Cooley 'touch' to western
swing); piano-Jeff Taylor; Steel-Tommy White; percussion-Josh
Hunt. I find it important to list musicians, especially when they
do a super good job like they have done on Emily's CD.
The possibilities of success in the music business today is lim-
ited. Doors are shut everywhere, open only to the very obedient
few allowed to be heard. Emily George has that 'just right' ap-
proach to modem music to actually cross the bridge into national
and international acceptance. She's a young woman with a 'music
touch' that many so-called country artists would be very envious
of. She's not afraid to stay within the 'definition' of a musical
genre, and she proves beyond the shadow of a doubt, she does
it better, and does it more honestly, than anything being offered
in America called 'country' music. Emily stays with the genre
without pumping a dozen other genres of music into it. it's pure,
it's honest, it's genuinely entertaining, and my fondest wish is that
'door' to a major label might happen for Emily IF they allow her to
pursue her music as she is doing it right now. Harold Bradley is
a very good professional producer in the studio, and he too knew
that what Emily is pursuing is 'honesty' and 'respect' for the music
she is creating.
There is also some notable 'original' songs on this album by
Jimmy Burson. Tracks 1-3-4-10 are his own compositions, in-
cluding #10 which he wrote with Randy Newman, and added
his voice to the same song. It doesn't get much better than that,
the entire 'style' and 'end result' is actually 'real' music done in a
'real' way. No computer voice cover-up, no electronic do-overs,
no digital robotic sound here, it's all 'pure' western swing music,
done in the way that it sounds best, it's own genre. Off it goes to
the Rural Roots Music Commission for their appraisal. They are
looking for this kind of professionalism.
