Cheers mate! Those are some sort sentences

I thought maybe he moved to America or something. I remember he had a nice radio hit here though in America though too.

Why? What's going to happen when everyone is on holidays? I mean, it's not like you're a firefighter or something... someone needs an emergency mortgage that can't wait till after Christmas? Or is it maybe because some of your clients don't celebrate Santa's birthday?

Poor people gotta eat I guess...

Seriously though: do none of these places close down for Xmas?

Well, technically I am at work, so, you know.
But when I worked in an office, we would end halfday usually Dec 24, be off 25/26 and the next two or three days, depending on how the Christmas fell, would be staggered between the staff.

Christmas was yesterday. But yes, we're open in the event that someone wants to get a loan, do a signing, or provide documents.

Is Dec 26 nothing to you guys? Here, it's St Stephen's Day (bank holiday), in the UK it's Boxing Day (bank holiday). Nothing there?

Album title: Something's Going On
Artist: Trace Adkins
Genre: Country
Nationality: American
Release date: March 31
Position in Discography: Sixteenth
Estimated Rating:

Familiar with this artist? Yes
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? A little
Average RYM Score: 2.75
All right, let's be honest: I'm not “familiar” with him, but I have heard one album and more to the point, I've watched him take part in Celebrity Apprentice and win it. Actually, that's kind of less to the point, isn't it? Anyway, I must admit that I'm disappointed with the opener, a real braindead “U Make Me So Hawt” type of drunk love song with little really to recommend it. Better improve, and real damn quick, Trace, or I may start thinking the album I heard was the exception. Well, “Jesus and Jones” is a whole lot better, and while the next track is a little weak the title one kicks things back up. Both are ballads, of a sort, but “Watered Down” really takes its title too seriously, while “Something's Going On” is much better.

It's not speaking to me though. I notice now that he doesn't write a single song here, and perhaps that's part of the problem. It's pretty generic country stuff here, nothing new and quite basic, with a pretty heavy helping of chauvinism into the bargain. Meh. This isn't what I expect of a man who has been nominated for four Grammys (though he didn't win any) and who has been in the business for over twenty years. This is like something one of those nu-country boys would put out as a debut album, and that I'd laugh at. Jesus, “Still a Soldier” is so ultra-patriotic it's sickening, but then, what can you expect I guess of the man who is now a personal friend of the President? You remember that song in The Simpsons about “If you don't buy my records Al Quaeda wins”? Yeah, it's worse than that. As is this album. Big disappointment. Well, not really. But big pile of ****e, certainly.

Check out more from this artist? After this, no
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yes

There isn't an American equivalent.
