Alan Jackson's latest album stays true to traditional country sounds.
Alan Jackson
A Lot About Livin' (And a Little 'Bout
Love)
Arista Records
Nashville has declared October as Coun
try Music Month, and Alan Jackson could
not have picked a better time to release his
album "A Lot About Livin' (And a Little
'Bout Love.)"
Alan Jackson maintains his status as one
of the top country male vocalist and song
writers in his latest release. His CD delivers
a clever mix of traditional country blues,
cryin' steel guitars and lively Tennessee
twin fiddles.
"A Lot About Livin'" comes alive with
upbeat country cuts such as "Chatta
hoochee," "I Don't Need the Booze (To Get
a Buzz On)" and "She Likes It Too." These
cuts paint vivid pictures of good times in
thejcountry — like parties by the river,
young love and cruisin' through the town
on a motorcycle.
One of the major strengths of this CD is
how Jackson takes a sad country lyric and
makes it upbeat and fun. You forget the
song is a sad one, like "Tropical Depres
sion," "She's Got the Rhythm, I Got the
Blues" and "Up to My Ears in Tears."
This CD also includes the usual sad,
heart-breaking country ballads like "If it
Ain't One Thing, It's You" and "Who Said
You Can't Have it All."
Alan Jackson and Randy Travis co-wrote
the album's first release "She's Got the
Rhythm, I Got the Blues," a song about a
cowboy that leaves his woman and then re
grets it as he watches her on the dance floor.
Many of the new country artists release
their first CD packed with traditional coun
try music, then follow it up by changing to
more progressive country music. Jackson,
however, stays true to the traditional coun
try sound that brought this Georgian into
the country music spotlight.
So, if you love down-home country mu
sic, "A Lot About Livin' (And A Little'Boul
Love)" will be right at home in your CD col
lection.
Christian singer bridges gaps
with love, music in Rudder
By JULIE POLSTON
Feature Writer of THE BATTALION
Christian singer/songwriter Babbie Mason
is building bridges with her music to create
racial and denominational unity in the midst
of diversity.
Tonight, Mason will perform at a free con
cert sponsored by the Baptist Student Union at
7:30 in Rudder Auditorium.
In her fourth and most recent album, "A
World of Difference," the opening cut entitled
"From Love to Love" makes a strong state
ment about unity.
"We've got to love all our brothers and sis
ters," the lyrics say. "How can we say we love
God when we don't love each other?"
Mike Graham, director of the Texas A&M
Baptist Student Union, said that anyone who
appreciates musical and vocal talent will enjoy
Mason's performance.
"We've brought a lot of different people in
over the years," he said. "And to me, she is
the best Christian songwriter in the nation."
Mason writes on a variety of topics, many of
which reflect her background.
Christian singer Babbie Mason.
The daughter of a pastor, she was raised in
Jackson, Michigan where she served as pianist
and choir director for twenty years. Shelate
graduated from Spring Arbor Collegewiflii
bachelor of arts in music education.
In recent years. Mason has become advel)
involved with her church in Georgia, when
she lives with her husband and two sons.
Mason works in environments as diverseai
her background and her music.
"One week we might be in a black chaffi
matic church, where worship is considered)
verb — an action word," she said. "The ltd I
week, we could be in one of the mostconsen
ative Southern Baptist churches in thenatioi
Or we could be overseas in Africa worship®!
with people who have no concept of time."
Despite her popularity in the musicb®
ness. Mason said she is amazed thatsheiss®
well-known as a songwriter.
She said when she first began songwritinj;
she wrote from her heart and did notreali®
until a few years ago that there was a tech
nique to writing songs.
"I'm trying to value my songwriting)!
heavily as I do my singing," she said. "Ma)h
even more so because the life of a song"®
last longer than the length of one of my®
certs."
