I am not a real Country music type of person, but i have to admit ‘The Nashville Years, Vol. 4′ really is amazing. When you buy a Burl Ives album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This -song debut EP shows the promise that Burl Ives has. I wish that “The Nashville Years, Vol. 4″ album was instrumental.
I can’t stop playing Four Initials On A Tree. The sound of Someone Hangin’ Round You All The Time is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Beautiful Annabel Lee have really caught my ear and imagination. Hobo Jungle very upbeat. In Strong As A Mountain full palet of sound is used by Burl Ives to accentuate the presentation. Can’t You Hear Me is possibly the best song Burl Ives has come up. Cherry Blossom Song is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. I love the melodic melody of What I Want (I Can Never Have) and to this day it makes me feel good. Song Can Angels Fly Over The Rockies? is actually a funny song. The Legend Of The T. I just LOVE this mix! Kentucky Turkey Buzzard is probably the most interesting track on The Nashville Years, Vol. 4. I came to like The Funny Little Show. Hard Luck And Misery - Burl Ives first major hit. Within the first few notes of Pearly Shells it’s perfectly clear that Burl Ives is living this song. This track is a great song that still never gets old. Short On Love - This one makes me want to not only sing along. Who Done It? - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Two Of The Usual which is my favorite is a truly Burl Ives sounding song. Tell Me - A nice song. This song stands out greatly from the others. Gater Hollow make listening to Burl Ives like being in some sort of time warp. In I Ain’t Messing Nobody Burl Ives spins a tale you want to hear to the end. I believe Catfish Bill is one of the most astounding, heartfelt songs ever written. Time To Bum Again (2:08) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. Burl Ives must have run out of lyrics on the next track Born For Trouble. Unemployment Check makes a person feel cool. The Atlantic Coastal Line is the more seemingly obscure song on The Nashville Years, Vol. 4 that bear up best to repeated listening. The Nashville Years, Vol. 4 couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Don’t Let Love Die. How Deep Is The Ocean is a gorgeous song and it grows on you. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing.
