Ten songs that will blow you away
If you like your country a little bit rocky and with a dash of blues then look no further than Lindsey Gail from East Texas. Lindsey realised from an early age that she had a great voice for singing country music auditioning at the age of fourteen for the local opry in front of four hundred people. Lindsey has already released several albums; her latest release sees her combine modern and old style country together. Lindsey has been inspired by many top country music artists including The Judds, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood and Patsy Cline. Lindsey’s new album kicks off with a rousing country song called Bring Back. This opening song is soulful with bold powerful vocals. I am reminded a little here of Reba McEntire. Break Away is a slower song with gorgeous passion filled vocals. Lindsey’s voice is breathtaking to listen to on this lovely ballad. Houdini is a fast paced rocky song with a really modern country feel. My Man is another slow ballad that blends modern and old style country together effortlessly. There are touches of Lorrie Morgan and LeAnn Rimes here within this number. You’re Mine is a wonderful soul infused song. Lindsey fills this song with a lot of emotion. The title song Little Loaded Pistol is a rocky blues/country song. This is a heavy song on which Lindsey gives a blistering performance. It is easy to see why this song was chosen as the title number. It really does stand out. Summer Days is an intoxicating ballad and one of the best songs on the album. Lindsey’s vocals are infectious and soulful on this really amazing pure country song. You Can’t Handle Me sees the mood switch up a gear once more. This is yet another rocky and thoroughly modern country song. Hard To Hold once again reminds me of Reba McEntire. Lindsey has such a delightful voice. It suits all ranges and styles as this album clearly demonstrates. Guilty Cowboy is a bluesy country song. Lindsey really pulls out all the stops on this the final song on the album. The ten songs on this album are all impressive for different reasons. There is a nice mix of fast and slow songs on the album. It flows nicely and is a real treat to listen to.
