Dale Watson - "From The Cradle To The Grave"

Dale Watson is a Texas music hero. Over his long and prolific career, he's proven himself to be one of the last authentic voices in pure country music. In fact, in the spirit of the music's outlaw lineage, Dale has disavowed himself of the country label and begun calling his music Ameripolitan. In his own words: "I've been trying to come up with a name the best describes this music that me and folks similar do. When folks ask, I hesitate, down right embarrassed really, to say country. I didn't used to be that way, but with the change in country music, the term doesn't mean the same as it used to. If you say traditional, or old, or western swing most folks think 'retro' and dismiss it without hearing it. I wanted a name that didn't say country anything and didn't give anyone a preconceived idea. I came up with Ameripolitan."

However it might be described, on his latest album, From The Cradle To The Grave, it's the music that speaks the loudest. Marking his HYENA Records debut, Dale offers ten new songs that range from the epic "Justice For All" to the achingly beautiful ballad, "It's Not Over Now." And if it sounds like Johnny Cash's presence is looming over the recordings, that's because it was. The album was recorded in Cash's old Tennessee Mountain cabin that was lent to Dale by its current owner Johnny Knoxville. With that in mind, Dale embraced the Cash aura and in the process turned out one of his best albums to date in an already impressive discography.

what a tune! country lives.

[FETactic]

The death of their child.....No one should have to live with that pain............

[sandysouthofaustin]

This song is deep...has a lot of truth to it. Love your music Dale!

[RedAllison]

I'll tell you why Kenny Chesney and todays "uber Nashville stars" can't sing music like this today... they aren't fully grown men and can't reach the microphone!!! I've been listening to Dale for a dozen years or more. He's as real today as he was back then but he represents the same things that Johnny Cash, Waylon, Conway and those guys did back in their day... they can't be controlled and wouldn't be anyones puppets. Their music will live forever, Chesney and Co. WONT!!!

No Nashville bullshit, no fasle and contrived conveyer belt crap. Just a great singer, a great song and a truly great artist. Dale Watson is the real thing, there is no doubt that he is indeed the saviour of traditional country music. Long may he continue to do for real, give us more more more!

[LarryPeninsula]

I've heard this song a couple of times but now I started to really like it. The story is great. Dale is real country artist. True to the roots.
