Author Post « Previous Thread | Next Thread » bigboycying Mind Peach Registration Date: 02-24-2003 Posts: 128 Is John Wayne any good?        I mean to say, is it just good or really really good? 03-20-2003 11:44 carl Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 6,960 It's rather one-dimensional....        I mean, how many times can you punch some bad guy or get into some bickering with the babe you just KNOW y'r gonna wind up with by the end of the movie? Oh, you mean John Wayne the ALBUM! I'd give it one "really" -- start great, ends great, a little samey in the middle -- but what I wanna know how have you managed to go without "Mr. Flutter" and "You Lay Down" for this long??? Or "Writer's Block," Hey John Wayne" and "Chicken Crosses the Road," for that matter? Criminal, really.... __________________ 03-20-2003 11:56 Mark Moderator Registration Date: 03-18-2002 Posts: 9,525 Location: Grand Encephalon - Words have their place but live what you say God can have His way when you hit them with Love You got it right. The 5 songs you just listed are definitely the highlights. They are far better than the others on the CD. You Lay Down is one of the best songs Terry's written. You must purchase this CD. __________________ But never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. - C.S.

Kind of DA-esque. However, the best cut on the record has not even been mentioned. "Too Many Angels" is right up there with some of Terry's best. 03-20-2003 12:43 carl Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 6,960 Nahhhh....        Although I do like the (misheard) line about "little knick-knack jerks".... __________________ 03-20-2003 12:46 DaLe Official Impasto Registration Date: 03-19-2002 Posts: 2,717 Location: MiNNeSoTa - HeRe we put salt on the Roads...

I love Mr. Flutter. The words are so good. I will be doing Ten Gallon Hat on DAmb it 2 which is one of my favorite Taylor tunes. It's so country it hurts and makes you laugh all at the same time. I can only think of one, maybe two weak songs in the middle but those weak songs are better than 90% of anything else out there so what's there to lose??? __________________ http://www.google.com 03-20-2003 14:12 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala. quote: Originally posted by bigboycying I mean to say, is it just good or really really good? it's really *&^%$%#@$##* good! __________________ 03-20-2003 15:33 EdHead Official Impasto Registration Date: 10-21-2002 Posts: 2,565 Location: The Imaginary Sanctuary I might venture to say that it is Terry's best solo effort thus far!

You never know when you won't find it anymore (except on Ebay) and then you'll kick yourself. I'm with the group that says there are 5 or so great songs on this one, but there's some fly-by country on it too. (No offense to any band members who read this.) My favorites are the opening cut (Writer's Block) and You Lay Down. I sometimes like to sing that last one to myself, maybe because it has a sweet tune and some great truth to the lyrics. Bottom line: snap it up ASAP __________________ I'm a middle-aged hitchhiker...
