Lovett’s wife Julia Roberts can be heard on the
song “Fat Babies.” Her voice can distinctly be
heard in the chorus, as she is the only woman
singing. However, the novelty quickly wears off,
and the lyrics, “Fat babies have no pride,” become
tiring.
The title track of the album sings like a lul
laby, and has the potential to put “Everybody” to
sleep. Once again, Roberts’ voice can faintly be
heard. But what man can complain when Julia
Roberts sings him to sleep? But wait ladies, you
can knock how terrible her voice sounds on this
track.
Next.
“Old Friend” is the most moving song on the al
bum. Within the song, each instrument is playing
in its own direction, and the featured cello carries
the song through. The lyrics briefly tell the story
of two old friends parting, but Lovett leaves the
lyrics open for interpretation.
Throughout the album, Lovett rarely deviates
from his new blues style. His guitar is constant
ly mimicked by the stings, and his musical cre
ativity occasionally shines through. But this
creativity can be better observed by evaluating
the entire album. Lovett’s musical progression
toward the blues is refreshing and innovative for
him, leaving the impression that his style will
change again for the next album.

“I like dancing to it because

these times balance the high-quality tracks on the
disc with the frustratingly poor tributes.
The only other redeemable number is the album’s
first single release, “A Voice Still Ring True.” Over
20 individuals and bands perform together as a re
spectable choir biographical ballad about Whitley.
The song is the only real tribute to the artisb- it
can’t escape the designation given its subject.
Krauss and Jackson make an investment in this
album more than worthwhile, and the new Whitley
releases add to that value. Unfortunately, half the
songs on “Tribute” will disappoint fans of both Whit
ley and the current artists.

COMMANDANT’S TROPHY WINNER
BRAD TIPPETT ‘95
The Commandant’s Trophy was initiated in 1957 to recognize members of the Platoon Leaders Class
(PLC) who distinguish themselves at summer training. Recipients of the trophies are those candidates
who attain the highest leadership, physical and academic averages in their respective increments.
This year’s Commandant’s Trophy was awarded to Brad Tippett during halftime at the Oklahoma
game. Major General M.T. Hopgood, Jr. ‘65 presented the trophy on behalf of the Commandant of the
Marine Corps. Dr. Ray Bowen accepted the trophy on behalf of Texas A&M. Tippett is the first Aggie to
win this award.
The Commandant’s Trophy will be on display at the Sam Houston Sanders Corps of Cadets Center.
