GGIELIFE CHESNE 1 country music fans should antici pate whatever Chesney has in the works (Grade: A-). percussionist Scratch (GraoJ — Megan E. Wright Everywhere We Co Kenny Chesney CD Courtesy of BMC Entertainment Since his debut on the country music scene five albums ago, Ken ny Chesney has continually pro duced records with an ability to sell. While some artists in country music streak across the charts and fade away, Chesney has built his success one step, one hit and one gold record at a time. His latest release. Everywhere We Go, is a testament to this pro gression in his career. With 11 well- written and well-performed songs, Everywhere We Go was purposeful ly produced without an encom passing theme to tie the tracks to gether. Thanks to the effort, the listener is exposed to 11 completely different and independent experi ences. “Baptism” is perhaps the al bum’s strongest effort, combining Chesney’s vocal talent with that of country music icon Randy TYavis in a song about the mental and spiri tual transformation of man during his baptism.The title track, “Every where We Go,” is one of the best songs on the album, musically speaking. The lyrics are simple and the subject is nothing new, but the delivery more than makes up for mediocre writing. Everywhere We Go follows the pattern Chesney has set with his albums. Each new release is stronger than the one before and things fall apart The Roots CD Courtesy of MCA Records When The Roots released their first album, Organix. in 1993, the group became immediately recog nizable by their use of live instru mentation and jazz stylings. The Roots carried the torch in a time when the hip-hop genre's musical integrity was taking a noticeable downward slide. At the same time other rappers were bragging about how much money they could make, The Roots continued down the hip-hop path to righteousness, making outstanding records along the way. With the release of things fall apart, the group’s fourth album. The Roots have ventured into the age of technology, experimenting with samples and loops. Despite what could constitute a purist fall from grace, The Roots remain clos er to the heart and soul of hip-hop than 1,000 Puff Daddies.
