Been listening to The Beanfield Blues, the new Terry Lewsader release. Lewsader wrote all 10 tracks and they are primarily on the gritty side of pop country. What I mean by that is that Lewsander's music has the qualities that country music has and although has some of the traits of pop country (pop) it doesn't stray to the point of losing it total identity as country. The Lesson has strong bones and illustrates Lewsander's understanding of real country roots. Reckless Ways is another track that stands out as a more pure flavor in the country ballad vein. Cades Cove ventures across the country bluegrass border and it is quite an enjoyable instrumental featuring Al Perkins on Dobro and Byron Berline on Fiddle and Mandolin. Lewsander has a barrage of associates working with him on the recording including David Upton (Vocals), Russell Wiener (Drums and organ), Todd Connelly (bass), Sutter Zachman (vocals), Jason Mandell (Vocals and bass), Linda Lamb (vocals), John Abella (drums), Ron Chicalese (bass), Lydia Sanikova (vocals), Elexus Quinn (vocals), Noah "Shark" Robertson (drums), Carla Tassara (vocals), Andrea Peterson (vocals) and Ashli Haynes (vocals). I don't profess top be an expert on country music but i do know it when I hear it. I applaud Lewsader for his efforts to put out a set of recordings that aren't just pop country.
