Pop Rock (Alternatif Modern Indé Prog) Blues Country ...

Trois petites chroniques flash pour des albums qui sans être mauvais ne sont pas non plus indispensables - 2/3 : THOMAS RHETT - Country Again Side A

Center Point Road le précédent album de Thomas Rhett m’avait beaucoup plu. J’avais découvert un artiste country qui ne faisait pas vraiment de la country mais plutôt de la pop teintée de country.

Country Again Side A arrive cette année et comme son nom l’indique, Rhett revient aux fondamentaux de Nashville. Du coup il m’a un peu perdu, n'étant pas un gros fan de ce mouvement quand il est poussé à l'extrême. Et là, de la gratte sèche, de la dobro y’en a un paquet.

Alors y’a quand même quelques bons titres comme Growing Up ou What’s Your Country Song qui sont plutôt pas mal. La voix de Rhett est parfaite pour ce genre de musique mais je préférais quand même le style du précédent.

Un bon essai de new country tout de même pour les amateurs du genre. J'écouterais le prochain mais s’il est dans la même veine, je pense que je zapperai notre ami.
