SOMETHING OLD... NEW... BORROWED... BLUE
SWANTON RECORDS
This whole winning concept is a welcome release with tried-and-tested common themes. I loved it! Ideal repertoire for secular-country and country-gospel interpretation, the true-blue ‘country & western’ trend continues into the 00’s with this classy singer-songwriter now a Methodist preacher. This special double-concept gem is an assemblage of some of Lynn’s newer ballad songs with some older gospel classics. Each song is presented in a typical deep-voiced country fashion with fiddle and steel and such out front. Unashamedly, I’ve never stopped playing this in the car ever since I received it. Yes, sure it is sentimental but these are quality ballads by a quality talent, an absolute gem.
