One thing about country music is the fact that so many different styles all make up one great outcome. Newcomer Mollye Rees is proving that as she is burning up speakers with anyone who will listen. She's hot, and her music is even hotter. Although she may not be a familiar name as of yet, prepare yourself, because she will be one of tomorrow's brightest stars.
Mollye moved to Nashville in 2006, in order to chase her dream as a country music entertainer. She signed on to Hollow Oak Records, and Chuck Howard agreed to produce her debut album. Mollye records the type of songs she relates to. Story songs are a big part of country music, so she should have no problem making it in Nashville. Her voice is so pure. She can sing a song as good as anyone. There is no need in trying to compare her to the top female artists, she's not them. She's Mollye Rees, and that's the best way to describe her.
"Cowgirls" is the first song off this album and it's rockin'. If you are in the mood to go out one night, turn this on and you'll have some perfect music to get ready with. It's just about having fun and heading straight to your favorite bar.
"A Goodbye" is a great country tune. It's a perfect breakup song. Nothing too emotional, yet to the point. Sometimes leaving is the hardest thing to do, but when you are ready, there is nothing that can stop you. The dobro is amazing throughout the tune and it's consistent to the end. This young lady has so much potential it's not even funny. Just after hearing these two songs, Nashville needs to listen up.
"Don't Lie In My Arms" is an awesome song with a beautiful piano playing in the background. Mollye really knows how to pick songs that tug at your heart strings. This is a perfect country song about breaking up, but she honestly looks at it in a positive way. Sometimes, people only think of the bad things when the relationship is over, but hearing this, she's thankful for the good times. It's an interesting outlook and a bad situation.
Out of all the music coming out of Music City, Mollye Rees is refreshing and true. If you are looking for a quality album that everyone can enjoy, you need to get this album.
