Easton Corbin ReviewPrime Cuts: This Far From Memphis, Leaving a Lonely Town, Don't Ask Me About A Woman

Behind a great record stands a great producer. Just when country music has been hijacked by the derivative rock of the 70s and the drivel of adult contemporary shtick of the 90s, this record is the avatar that there's still hope for fans of the traditional persuasion. This album's raison detre is to a large measure due to presence of producer Carson Chamberlain. Being the man who wrote some of country music's cornerstone pieces such as George Strait's chart topper "The Best Day," Alan Jackson's "Love's Got a Hold on You" and Tanya Tucker's classic tearjerker "(Without You) What Do I Do With Me," Chamberlain has given this disc a traditional push that sets this release apart from the current radio fare with nary a cacophonous chorus of noise or screeching electric guitar riffs. Rather, listening to this CD calls to mind an amalgam of the countrified sounds of George Strait, the mournful cries of Keith Whitley and the tropical escapism of Kenny Chesney. Vocally, Easton Corbin does have a southern drawled tenor that calls to mind the aforementioned Chesney without sounding too distinctive. Nevertheless, it's the songs that make this record a stand out.
First and foremost, Easton Corbin is to be congratulated for his hard work in learning from the best country music in town. You could almost hear Alan Jackson singing "Don't Ask Me About a Woman." This is the type of record that made Alan Jackson such a superstar: clever use of words over a humorous take on the gender divide all over an infectious melody. And Easton Corbin is wizened to take this a signature hit to come and make it his very own. The carefree "A Lot to Learn About Leavin'" calls to mind Kenny Chesney with its Cuban-island relaxing feel. Tony Lane and Johnny Park's "Roll with It" has an uncanny resemblance to George Strait's mega hit "Run" except that it is set at a faster pace with pronounced fiddling. The jaunty "The Way Love Looks" triumphs on its sunny disposition over some Diamond Rio-esque guitar and Corbin's Brad- Paisley type excitement.
Despite Easton Corbin's tipping his hat to his sonic heroes, it doesn't mean he is bereft of his own signature authenticity. The saccharine "Someday When I'm Old" has a bluesy feel that is riverting piece to listen to. One of the best road songs this year has to be "This Far From Memphis," which scores the record's best original line "Now I've run out of road/So I guess my only hope is to trade this truck for a boat." If you want to hear Corbin bear out his soul, take a listen to the mournful "Leavin' a Lonely Town" and prepare for some tearful moments as Corbin bids his parents goodbye as he leaves home. Lead single "A Little More Country Than That" may not chart new grounds with its picturesque reference about Corbin's own self identification with everything rural, but it has such a gorgeous melody that it stays etched into the memory for the long haul.
For a debut record, Easton Corbin's self titled release is a winner. It doesn't yield to the temptation to crossover to the pop market nor does it endeavour to be sound hip without regards to the album's depth. Rather rifle with clever and catchy tunes over a backing which is afraid to let the steel guitar and fiddles take the lead, this is a bona fide country record. And producer Carson Chamberlain is to be congratulated together with Corbin for a job well done.
Easton Corbin Overview2010 release from the Country singer/songwriter. Like his heroes George Strait and Ketih Whitley, Easton is unapologetically Country. His songs, while rooted in the present, call to mind simpler times when the back porch was where folks gathered to network. His first single, 'A Little More Country Than That,' paints a picture of rural life that speaks to Easton's small town sensibilities. ''This song identifies who I am,'' he says. ''It shows character and that's important where I'm from. You learn to say 'yes, ma'am' and 'no, sir,' and to open the door for the ladies.''
