Supercool Music: A Living Article© Part 58: “Vinyl”

If I could only have one album from each genre I like in my vinyl record collection, “Vinyl” by William Michael Morgan would be my country album. 😎 It’s no surprise, then, that the title track from this supercool album is about to be featured here in the first article of 2019. 🙂

   The unique sound of a vinyl record is a treasure to enjoy. Likewise, yet to a much higher level, is the voice of William Michael Morgan and the heart he sings with. As you know, I don’t rely solely on radio (FM, AM, satellite, streaming) for good music, because they tend to play only a small portion of the good stuff. A friend of mine came across William Michael Morgan’s music on YouTube when it came up as an advertised video when she was looking up Jon Pardi (another great real-country singer!). I knew instantly that I loved William Michael Morgan’s sound when we listened to “I Met A Girl”. I was amazed when my friend scrolled and found he also had a song called “Vinyl”! 🙂 😎 Because I love vinyl records and his voice even more, it was a favorite song before I even heard it. 😉 And when I heard it…I loved it! 🙂 I have been wanting to review this song ever since, but because it is so special to me, I am a bit overwhelmed as to how to put the wonderful depth of meaning of this song into words. I will do my best to do it justice, despite the fact that there are really no words to adequately convey the full love of something so good.

   William Michael Morgan has noted that “Vinyl” is his favorite song and is his favorite track on the album, which helped lead to it being chosen as the title of the album. 😎 He certainly has good taste! 🙂 He said that vinyl has always been a “timeless classic” from when it first came out and onward through now and is continuing to hold that distinction. The correlation between love and vinyl in the song is that they’re both constants. 😎 I agree with him on that. 😎 (And on quite a few other things as well! 😉 🙂 😎 ) It is so wonderful to me that this song exists now and was recorded by an artist of William Michael Morgan’s caliber.

   I read that Ashley Gorley, Wade Kirby and Carson Chamberlain are the talented songwriters who penned this great tune. Thank you! 🙂

   Besides sounding great on the recording, William Michael Morgan performs “Vinyl” with such honest ease that whether he has a full band backing him, one additional guitar or, my personal favorite, just his own guitar, it sounds wholly wonderful. As I have said before: when an artist is truly good, they sound just as good live – and usually even better – than their recordings. He sounds great in every category, never failing to get it right – in note and heart – and supercool each and every time. 😎

   This supercool song starts off with drums – always a plus to this Cherokee girl! 🙂 😎 The very groovy, pure country melody continues to hold the musical interest as guitars and other well-played man-made instruments lead the way to the best sound of all: William Michael Morgan’s voice singing heart country. 😎

   In a deep, warm country tone, he sings to the girl, telling her that if their love was a song, he would play it all night long. And he’d put it on vinyl. 😎 “A little Rock, a little Motown” – very cool lyrics! 🙂 I love that. 😎

   Shortly after the first half minute of the song, it swings smoothly into the chorus. The references to vinyl throughout this track are excellent, knowledgeable and cool. 😎 “Baby, you’re an instant classic.” He compares her and their love to the long-lasting (ever continuing onward since its initial appearance, in fact), treasured sound of vinyl. There’s nothing quite like it. 🙂 It is unique, deep, nostalgic, brand-new and delightful. 🙂 “Ain’t nothin’ gonna stop this groove.” 🙂

   William Michael Morgan sings with the effortless sound of a voice the Creator designed to fill His creation with song. 😎 He carries the notes so smoothly (note “you” and “groove” in the first chorus, for example) and uses the right inflections for emphasis at the pivotal spots, letting the song carry on in a natural way. 😎

   “You know you got the real thing,” he sings with cowboy matter-of-factness as the second verse begins.

   The entire sound and feel of the song, from William Michael Morgan’s excellent singing to the production and recording – all of it makes for a supercool song that you just can’t help wanting to listen to repeatedly. 😎 I can’t even guess how many times I’ve played it now. 🙂

   At one minute and fifty-three seconds into the song, a very cool instrumental break begins, featuring some great guitar work along with the other instruments. 😎 The melody takes an upward flight in heart as it leads to his next vocals. “Ain’t nothin’ gonna stop our groove.” ❤ ❤

   He continues to emphasize the lasting strength of love, like vinyl records. 😎

   “When you say my name it’s the sweetest sound.” Nothing sounds the same as vinyl and nothing sounds the same as your name on your true love’s lips. Both are like nothing else. 🙂

   William Michael Morgan sings with heart, pouring genuine feeling into the continuing chorus, telling the girl again how their love is like vinyl records – lasting without end, always strong, always real. 😎

   I love this song and I love the way William Michael Morgan sings it. I love the sound of vinyl records above CD, MP3, Cassette, Radio, any of the various things available. Always have. Expect I always will. Truly, it is as if the song was made especially for me. It couldn’t have been better if I had asked specifically for such a song. It’s perfect.

Supercool Music: A Living Article© Part 53: “Dirt on My Boots”

Here’s the story: I had enjoyed listening to country music on the radio in the 90’s, when one of my favorite baseball players got me listening to Randy Travis. I soon loved his music along with other great, real country artists like Alan Jackson, George Strait, Clay Walker, Alabama, Pam Tillis, Ricky Van Shelton, Neal McCoy, et cetera. Then the radio stations started playing too much non-country and I stopped listening to them for a long while. I had the good stuff, so why not just pop in a CD instead of subjecting myself to non-music? Very recently – this winter of 2018 – I decided to give country radio another try, just in case they had decided to play some real music again. And guess what I heard? 🙂 Yes! 🙂 They were playing some truly good stuff again. 😎 (I don’t believe that all of what they’re playing is true country, but it’s more evened out now, anyway.) The song that stood out most to me was “Dirt on My Boots”; I immediately recognized its greatness and knew it would sound awesome live! 🙂 Finding out who sang it and then watching footage on YouTube soon followed. Real country. So cool to hear him say he wants to do good stuff similar to the 90’s – the very decade I most enjoyed the rockin’ soul of country music sound! 🙂 😎 No wonder I love Jon Pardi’s music! 🙂 He knows what sounds good and he delivers. 😎 Keeping the good music going, playing what he knows is good. I like it that he goes for the upbeat sound; that’s my kind of music. 😎

   Time to review this supercool, super-country song, “Dirt on My Boots” by Jon Pardi! 😎 (Album: California Sunrise. Released: June 17, 2016. Label: Capitol Records Nashville.) And here we go! 😀

   It starts off with the voice of the fiddle – a pure country fiddle that draws you into the song from the barest sound of that first note, musically pulling you in as the bow is drawn across the strings. 😎 Yes, if you know the song like I do, that takes place in the first second of the track. 😎 More than three minutes remaining in this song filled with musical satisfaction. 😎

   The other instruments join in as the time hits right on the one-second mark. 😎 It immediately sounds really cool; you know you are hearing something great already. It’s got a deep yet laid-back sound to it, perking you up and settling you down comfortably at the same time. It catches your interest and assures your ears that you are in for a great country song. 🙂

   Twelve seconds in and the fiddle sings a happy, upbeat tune, announcing the approaching vocals of Jon Pardi. His voice is the best instrument yet and by his tone and style, he sets the stage for this song, telling it like it is with authenticity. 😎 He’s been up since the crack of dawn, earning his pay in the 100+ degree heat with no shade to be found. He knows exactly how much work he has left in this workday then he’s shutting that tractor down. A half hour after that, having gotten cleaned up some from his rough day at work in the fields, he’s going to go pick up his girlfriend for a date of dancing. 🙂

   And here comes that supercool chorus! He might have a little dirt on his boots, but he’s taking her uptown tonight. And he may have a little mud on his wheels, but they’re going to shine with her up inside. 😎 Great lyrics delivered excellently. 😎 I love the distinct way Jon Pardi sings “got-a-little”; it’s really cool, sounds good. 😎 He sings about how they’re going to dance the dust right off those boots.

   The instruments are played great on the album and, as with Jon Pardi’s singing, it’s even more powerful in concert. 😎 He plays guitar with strength, a comfortable ease and is great to watch. 😎 Most of the performances I’ve seen (thanks again to all of the fans who share concert footage on YouTube so we can all see it! 🙂 ) featured the supercool drumming of Mitch White. What great style, power and smooth precision! If you watched him play the song (any song), but couldn’t physically hear him, you could still “hear” it just by watching his movements. He’s one of the drummers I most enjoy watching. 😎 During this summer, Kevin Murphy started playing the drums, and, as a drum enthusiast, I immediately recognized his strong talent. He seemed to be enjoying it, too. 🙂 I miss seeing and hearing Mitch. I always have room in my heart for more good drummers, so I welcome Kevin, too. 😉 🙂 Solid drumming. 😎 Lee brings that essential bass groove to the music. 😎 Terry Lee plays supercool guitar. 😎 Billy makes his fiddle to sing. 😎 Andy really brings it with his steel guitar work. 😎 Great band, The All-Nighters. 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 (There’s a “cool” smiley for each of you. 😉 )

   “Got a little dirt on my boots!” As Jon Pardi finishes up that chorus, he sings out a hearty, “Yeah, Girl!” that fits perfectly and is one of my favorite parts. 😎

   The second verse goes a little deeper. 😎 He sings to the girl in the song that he’s worked really hard that day, but he’s going to put even more into loving on her. (Terry Lee’s guitar does a really cool thing right here. 😎 ) He’s going to spin her all around that dance floor. When she’s ready to go, he will take her back to her place. The music brings it down here, as it did at this point in the previous verse – really cool. He assures her she needn’t worry – he’ll kick his dirty boots off on the porch when they get there. 🙂

   Supercool chorus! 🙂 😎 The drums really hit it. 😎

   Coming up on two minutes, the instrumental section starts sizzlin’, really rockin’ it good, then winds down to this really cool tempo by the drummer. 😎 And now we’re at the final verse of this supercool song.

   The third verse goes deeper yet. 😎 A cool play on words – since there’s actual dirt on the boots – as he sings in his wonderfully-timbered voice, “A little dirty dancin’, blue-collar romancin’.” He notes that he can get cleaned up if she wants him to, but – here he gives a tug to his collar and cuffs – “I can only get so fancy!” Love that part! 😀 😎 😎 He sings it with such great delivery; it’s supercool. I looked forward to this part every time it came to it on the radio when I was first hearing it. And I still do. The entire song sounds great, but this part, the way he sang it, really added to the song and made me want to go buy it. And I did. 🙂 I love listening to it! 🙂

   The final chorus continues the strong, solid, rockin’ real country music that this song (and all of Jon Pardi’s music) is filled with from start to finish. The song never lacks, never eases up on its power, never loses its appeal. It’s lively, good and entirely enjoyable. Great song. Great band. Great artist. Great for country music. Keepin’ it real and true. Keepin’ it live and genuine. Keepin’ it with heart and authenticity. Thank you! 🙂

Supercool Music: A Living Article© Part 48: “Head Over Boots”

🎶~~~~~SPECIAL EDITION~~~~~🎶

Osiyo! 🙂 (Cherokee/Tsalagi greeting) This is the second-year anniversary of publishing Supercoolmusic: A Living Article at its own independent blog space. 🙂 I appreciate everyone who has read my articles; thank you for letting me know how much you enjoy them! 🙂 It’s always good to know my work is appreciated; I do this on my own time, celebrating, encouraging and sharing good music as well as cool, related aspects. 🙂

   Choosing a special song for a special occasion is always fun and this time I chose one of my favorite songs. 🙂 “Head Over Boots” by Jon Pardi is three minutes and twenty-three seconds of lyrics and music that most definitely qualifies as supercool music! 🙂 😎 This song, track #3 from his “California Sunrise” album (released June 17, 2016 on Capitol Records Nashville), is going to be a joy to review. 🙂 I love it! 🙂 And there’s so much good to say about it. 😎 I have some supercool behind-the-scenes information to share with you all as well. 🙂 Come on, let’s go! 🙂 😎

   “Head Over Boots” is so beautiful and touches my soul so deeply, that even while I’m trying to review it, I keep getting caught up in the pure beauty of it. Jon’s voice carries the message of the song straight to the heart. 😎 The words and the melody exemplify a perfect pairing. 😎

   I saw a piece of footage where Jon was giving an explanation for the song, telling of its origin. One night when he and his dad were at a Texas dance hall, he was watching dancers two-steppin’ their way around the floor, having a good time. What he saw inspired him to write a song about a constant love between a man and his wife (this story was featured later in the music video as well ❤ ). 😎 The next morning he was writing this beautiful song. 🙂 He saved it to finish the writing of it with another good song-writer whom he knew would get the song, too: Luke Laird. Jon said the song was just coming so easy and that for songwriters “…when it’s easy, it’s usually the best.” 😎 True. 😎 When the Creator gives you something to write, it seems to flow, coming quicker than you can write/type sometimes! 🙂 And it comes together so well, seamlessly. “Head Over Boots” is a very good example of musical poetry that flowed straight from the heart and soul to words and music notes. 😎

   Jon Pardi’s songs are all-new, current, traditional, timeless & pure, solid, rockin’ country. 🙂 😎 Each melody is instantly recognizable as one of his even before you hear his vocals, because it has that 😎 Jon Pardi quality to it. 🙂 This song is one of his masterpieces.

   Naturally, “Head Over Boots” opens with the earthy rhythm of a well-strummed guitar. It’s joined by drums, percussion, steel and bass guitar (the fiddle comes later 😉 ). Jon begins to sing the song of a man who’s deeply in love with his wife, their constant, abiding love evident. He wants to sweep her off her feet tonight, love her and hold her tight – spin her around on some old dance floor, “act like we never met before – for fun – ’cause…” And with that perfect lead-in and a timely pause, the first chorus arrives. 🙂

   The drums pick up the beat, guiding the music to a rousing chorus as Jon sings out with much heart and strong volume. “You’re the one I want. You’re the one I need.” Love. ❤ ❤ Two hearts joined as one; they share a heartbeat. Whether in each others’ arms or miles between because of work, et cetera, their hearts are united and their thoughts are of each other. True love is strong.

   The excellent lyrics continue. 🙂 If he was a king, she would be his queen. “You’re the rock in my roll. You’re good for my soul. It’s true; I’m head over boots for you.” 😎 True love satisfies a longing in your heart that can only be filled by that one person. There’s something special about your true love that outshines everyone else deep in your soul. The Creator loves us and blesses us with love. Sometimes you might think you found your special someone and your heart feels broken when it doesn’t last. But true love does last, because it’s powerful, abiding and real. That’s the kind of love that holds marriages together. Your true love is your priority – not yourself. Talking to the Creator about it is always a good idea; He has all the answers. 🙂 😎 ❤ ❤

   The instruments, the guitar taking the forefront, bridges the space from the chorus to the second verse in a supercool way. 🙂 Such great sound! 🙂

   “The way you sparkle like a diamond ring. Maybe one day we can make it a thing.” Marriage. 🙂 ❤ ❤ 😎 He sings of their continuing love for one another, enjoying life together year after year. 😎 Talking, sitting together on the porch, kissing… 🙂 🙂 Everything means more and is felt deeper when it is shared with your true love. They not only hold your hand; they hold your heart, too.

   That awesome chorus begins again; it has such a great melody, sung and played with good heart and real talent. What a great song! 🙂

   An extended instrumental break features more of that deep-note, country guitar work. 😎

   The song plays on with that well-chosen pace of melody that fits so well with the lyrics of this song. 😎 Each element is important in the overall sound of a song – and Jon Pardi is well aware of that and fully up to the task. 🙂 😎

   With reassuring strength he sings, “Yeah, I’m here to pick you up and I hope I don’t let you down.” Significant pause here. “No.” Very definite about not wanting to let her down – there’s a good man. 😎 The drums carried that down perfectly, too. 😎 Another pause then a series of acoustic guitar notes leads into a quieter, more gentle level as he sings again: “’cause you’re the one I want. You’re the one I need…”

   The volume and energetic strength heightens again as another round of the supercool chorus is repeated. 😎 “I’m head over boots for you!”

   Another section of instrumental supercoolness delights the ears and the heart. The fiddle is a key part in good country music and this song certainly qualifies – it all sounds so great! 😎

   Jon tenderly sings the first part of the song again, his voice growing yet gentler and quieter as the fellow sings to his sweetheart with all of the love in his heart. 😎

   During these last twenty seconds of the song in concert, Mitch’s finesse and style shines especially bright as he taps specific cymbals at just the right moments then shimmers them. 😎 Sheer poetry. 😎

   Although “Head Over Boots” finishes at a little over three minutes, Jon sings it in such a way that it is understood that the story continues onward. 🙂 The song reaches its full 3:23 length with a beautiful flourish, bringing a contented sigh from the listener’s heart and the motion of reaching out to play that song again. 🙂

   “Head Over Boots” sounds great on the album and in all of the special recordings and every live performance of it. That’s good music. 😎 Jon puts the right emphasis – and the right amount of it – on each word he sings. That’s important, too.

   The lyric video is way cool, the words rolling in the Old West town setting with specifically selected features – love the picture of Jon swirling along in the dusty breeze. The concept and creativity as well as the completion of it all’s supercool! 😎 Have you seen it yet? 🙂

   In regards to the music video, Jon said, “It’s really cool – probably one of my favorite videos we’ve done so far.” The dedication of everyone working together and being enthusiastic about making the video authentic-looking shows in the finished product. 😎 It was filmed at the Twin Sisters Dance Hall in Blanco, Texas, a historic treasure from the 1870’s that continues to hold weekend dances. 😎 That setting really went with what Jon was thinking for the song: “It just really hit home with my idea for ‘Head Over Boots’.” The video tells the story of a guy and girl meeting at the dance hall, coming back for more dates; they get engaged, married and celebrate anniversaries. 🙂 Cool mini-movie! 😎 I love the look of the video, the lighting, setting, et cetera – especially the 1950’s look, the 1970’s jacket, so cool. 🙂 Way cool to see the classic Chevy pickup! 🙂 😎 🙂 There were more cool scenes than I can fit in this review, but I do want to make sure I make mention of the many cool in-between-the-storyline scenes where Jon played his guitar by an old jukebox – and laying out some very, very smooth dance moves. 🙂 😎 He sure feels that music! 🙂 😎

   “Head Over Boots” sounds fantastic from the album and in Jon Pardi’s supercool concerts with The All-Nighters (they were in the music video, too – very, very cool)! 🙂 Jon, Mitch, Lee, Billy, Andy and Terry bring everything to the music – heart, soul, talent, energy, fun, celebration, liveliness, vibrant music! 🙂 😎

   I love to hear “Head Over Boots” come on the radio, too! It’s so great to hear such good, solid, truly beautiful, hearty love music! 🙂 Thank you, Jon, for sharing your love and gift of music! 🙂 I’m looking forward to more! 🙂 😎

Supercool Music: A Living Article© Part 47: “Heartache on the Dance Floor”

When an artist is as good as Jon Pardi, it’s hard to choose which song of theirs to review first! 🙂 All of his original songs that I have heard thus far are supercool, pure country music. 😎 And I believe that every song he’s covered has sounded the best those songs can sound – and that’s a supersize compliment! 🙂 I would like to review every song he’s sung – originals and covers – yet before I could claim that accomplishment, a certain decision must be made. Do you know what that is? 😉 Deciding which song to start with! 🙂 I believe I will do this one…

   “Heartache on the Dance Floor” is the newest radio single from his album, “California Sunrise”, which was released on June 17, 2016 by Capitol Records Nashville. 😎 Supercool. 😎 I loved his debut performance of it on TV (March 6, 2018), every piece of concert footage I’ve been blessed to see of it, the video, the performance video and especially when he sang it solo for a radio show. 🙂 It was a perfect example of what George Strait’s character was talking with hope about in the movie “Pure Country”: you don’t need all the smoke and lights – just a man and his guitar. 🙂 😎 (At that same radio show, Jon also sang George’s “I Just Want to Dance with You”; I so loved it that I’m working on a review for it, too. 🙂 ) Back to this review: I loved “Heartache on the Dance Floor” since the first time I heard it. 🙂 This song has such a great sound – made it feel like summertime in the wintertime. 😎 Sunshine, blue skies, sparkling waters, the colorful artistry of the Creator’s sunsets – I can hear it all in Jon’s song. 🙂

   At the very start of “Heartache on the Dance Floor” you immediately know two things about it: it’s pure country and it’s good…really, really good. 🙂 😎 As you all know, I appreciate every aspect of what makes a song sound good – and this one excels in it. 😎 Every instrumental note is played with genuine heart and talent. And every note sung is essential to the great sound of this song. Guitars, drums, fiddle and steel guitar all lead into the opening verse featuring the amazing lead vocals of Jon Pardi (later joined by the All-Nighters’ impressive backing vocals). 😎

   Jon begins telling the story of the song in first person; he has a Creator-blessed gift for storytelling, by the way. 🙂 The setting is a little beachside town on the West Coast.

   The video begins with him buying some fries at a standing trailer on the edge of the beach in the bright sunshine. 😎 The scene changes to evening, lights have been set up in front of it, music playing, people dancing, enjoying the atmosphere. 😎

   In the song he tells about a girl catching his eye the other night, like nothing he had ever seen. When Jon’s singing “Heartache on the Dance Floor”, he gets the full effect of the story across with such clarity and smoothness. 😎 The girl was dancing to an old Motown song (good music! 🙂 ). Jon Pardi has some great moves. 🙂 He sure feels that supercool music. 😎

   He sings he was speechless, watching her, couldn’t manage to say anything, so he just sang along to the Motown song. (Which would’ve sounded great! 🙂 )

   I love the notes, tones, volume, pace and melody of this song through and through! 🙂 It sounds so good!! 🙂

   The chorus begins, picking up the pace and volume from conversational singing to an upbeat rhythm of exultation. He sings about her being a heartache on the dance floor, moving through his mind. He’s determined to know her name, to see her again. She has him wondering where she is this night. Jon carries a “whoa” in strong, melodic fashion, along with the driving country beat of the band. 😎

   And I just have to note here: that blue guitar he plays so excellently has got to be one of, if not the most, beautiful guitars I have ever seen. 😎 Just beautiful. 🙂 I’m so glad that that fine guitar has such a talented owner. 🙂 😎

   In the second verse he continues the story. Wanting to see her again, he hung around that little West Coast town, dropping by that beachside place every night and staying until closing time. I like the way he said “my little mystery”. 🙂 😎 He put on a song, just to sing along. I like the heart and determination in this song; the man’s doing what he can, trying to find this girl who stirred his heart like that. Good romance. 😎

  The second chorus is sung and played just as excellently as the first time; Jon Pardi and his supercool band, The All-Nighters, give consistently top-notch performances each and every time. 😎 And they make it look so easy; they’re that good. 🙂

   This chorus includes some bonus features. 🙂 He sings that she’s got him mesmerized; she’s all he thinks about. Then the instrumental break arrives, featuring a blazing guitar lead with the rest of the instruments keeping that great song going in the background. 😎

   In the third verse, Jon sings that he’s right here, right now, humming this little song. If he could say a thing, he’d want her to know: “You were a heartache on the dance floor.” Bringing it down a little bit instrumentally, thus highlighting this part of the song expertly, he sings the entire chorus to her, with The All-Nighters echoing his words in good, strong voices. 😎

   He’s hanging around this little town, “looking for you, Baby”. Singing the chorus, addressing this girl in the song, brought a really cool element to it. First he was telling about it, and then he changes it, directing it personally to her. I really liked that touch. 🙂 😎

   The song ended as it began: perfectly! 🙂 Such a great sound; this is a song I could – and have 😉 – listen to repeatedly and love it just as much each time. Now that’s real supercool music! 🙂 😎

   Jon Pardi’s music sounds great whether it’s a studio recording or from a live performance with his band The All-Nighters. 🙂 Billy plays the fiddle with equal parts great talent and energy. 😎 The steel guitar artist, Andy, plays with smooth skill. 😎 (I would give them credit by last name as well, but I don’t have that information as yet.) Super guitarist Terry Lee Palmer and boss bass guitarist Lee Francis have accompanied Jon at various radio station performances. 😎

   I’ll close this review by telling how I know the supercool drummer’s name. 🙂 Mitch White, yes, he’s the one rockin’ those drums to a country beat, joined Jon Pardi in a cool, purposeful challenge – which they both aced. 😎 Jon was taking part in a 22 push-ups challenge to help bring more awareness of our soldiers who are losing their lives from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. He had asked Mitch to join him in the show of strength and they added extra challenges to it besides. 😎 (You can check out the footage on YouTube to see what they did. 🙂 ) And not only did they accomplish the 22 push-ups impressively, but they added two bonus push-ups at the end! 🙂 Strong fellows, good men who care about our military – the men and women who defend freedom and help keep us safe. 🙂 😎 The members of our military who are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other struggles, need our prayers, love and encouragement to help them have hope and to know that they can win this battle. Never give up. Please. Never give up.
