You Don't Know Me: Songs of Cindy Walker ReviewI have found that there are four types of country-minded songwriters. The first two (those who can't write, and those whose artistic success comes sporadically, at best), I won't bother with. The third category of songwriters are those who create elaborate tapestries with words. These are your Dylan's and Kristofferson's; artists who milk language for everything it is worth (I'm not insulting their talent; I personally am a big Kristofferson fan). The fourth type of songwriter uses simple language; they keep it real and honest, and cut straight to the bone. This is where Cindy Walker (and, not-coincidently, Willie Nelson) falls.
This album is a testament to the honesty of country music. Want proof? I saw the video of "You Don't Know Me" and immediately went out and bought the album. Why? Because it summarizes, word for word, what I'm going through in my life right now. How about "Not That I Care," with its subtle blend of sorrow and non-chalance? Or the heartbreaking "Dusty Skies?" Or the witty "Don't Be Ashamed of Your Age?" Or the genuinely romantic "I Don't Care?" These are songs that cut to the quick, that grab your heart and don't let go. This is a 13-track journey through the heart and soul of what makes country music the honest, hard-working music it is.
Aside from a stirring tribute to one of country's greatest songwriters, YOU DON'T KNOW ME: THE SONGS OF CINDY WALKER is a testament to the artistic capabilities of Willie Nelson. His voice has never sounded finer, as he sings straight from the heart. The album also features the return of producer extraordinaire Fred Foster, who introduced the world to such artists as Roy Orbison and the afore-mentioned Kris Kristofferson. Three brilliant minds went into creating this album; and with the help of stellar musicians (including beautiful harmonies by the Jordanaires), they crafted a classic country record. YOU DON'T KNOW ME: THE SONGS OF CINDY WALKER is destined to become one of those records you don't forget. It will tug at your heartstrings, it will make you smile and dance. And, if nothing else, it features stone-cold country music; and, I kid you not, twin fiddling. Willie Nelson, along with some of his good friends and partners in crime, has created yet another country music masterpiece. It's truly a timeless record.You Don't Know Me: Songs of Cindy Walker OverviewWith such country legends as Bob Wills, Gene Autry, Eddy Arnold, and Ernest Tubb recording Cindy Walker's songs, a mid-century Texas dance floor could have stayed packed on a soundtrack of nothing but her music. You Don't Know Me: The Songs of Cindy Walker could be likened to a country version of Stardust, Willie's famous 1978 collection of recast pop standards. Therein lies the beauty of Cindy Walker's songs, and the gift that is Willie Nelson singing them: sixty years from now, no one will write or sing a country song so well. 2006.
