The Nashville Strings are once again extending the range and increasing the durability of songs which have already won mass acceptance and accolades from the generally capricious record consumer. They have anticipated and met the need for an open, gracious approach to the contemporary music sound. The luxuriant addition of strings kindles more than mere variation on a theme, however. It's a whole new bad. a twinkling musical motif which provides a tonic for tired ears.
In the world of popular music recently, city folk have been paying a good deal of dues to the tastes and styles of their not so unsophisticated country cousins. The City has gone to Nashville Country, for that's where the action is. Nashville recording studios are doing a booming business, because there is an inimitable Nashville sound. If you want the real thing, you have to “go Nashville” to get it. Right now, almost everyone—even some of the top rock and pop musicians—is after that sound, because that's what the public wants. And if it's at all commercially feasible, what the public wants, it gets.
The public wants The Nashville Strings, and with good reason. This orchestra has accepted with gusto the challenge of interpreting the heavy country-pop material it has to work with, and their inspiration turns the aforementioned hits on this album right around. It sets them like jewels in rich new settings. The exuberance and flair of these floating strings provide an instrumental language that is meaningful and buoyant. The basic melody of each country hit hangs in there, happily recognizable and within reach. But the freshwinged arrangements encourage the violins to sweep onward and upward and around tuneful corners.
If you thought you knew these songs before, now you might say you have accumulated a head-nodding, intimate awareness of what was meant to be. The Nashville Strings have chased these songs into a pocket of the mind reserved for hit songs and easy listening.
Thurston Moore, editor and publisher of The Country Music Who's Who, wrote a general definition of country music which could easily sum up the experience of hearing this album. “What is Country Music?" he asked. ‘Til tell you what it is. It’s a surging tide of musical spirit; an almost tangible feeling like soil through your fingers after the first warm rains of spring. It's like the salt of tears and the bells of laughter."
Here's salt on your tail, Tinkerbell! Have a pleasant listen to the sound of success. —Linda Solomon
