Brad Paisley - 364 Days To Go

Artist: Brad Paisley
Titolo: 364 Days To Go

Album: Christmas (1989)

Brad Douglas Paisley (born October 28, 1972) is a Grammy Award-winning American country music singer-songwriter and guitarist.

A worthy addition to the country Christmas collection, this succinctly titled album combines respect for tradition with contemporary inspiration. "Winter Wonderland" features a Western swing arrangement and country references in the lyrics, "Away in a Manger" has a Cajun feel, and the "Jingle Bells" instrumental benefits from an injection of rockabilly twang (as does Paisley's revival of Buck Owens's "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy"). Among the original material that distinguishes the collection, "Penguin, James Penguin" is like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" for the higher-tech generation, as Santa enlists a "secret-agent bird" to keep computerized tabs on who deserves what. "Born on Christmas Day" features a tape of a song Paisley wrote and initially recorded when he was 13, then segues into the artist today on the same tune. The album closes with a slam at political correctness on "Kung Pao Buckaroo Holiday," with the Kung Pao Buckaroos (a.k.a. George Jones, Bill Anderson, and "Little" Jimmy Dickens) discovering that they get bleeped every time they mention "Chxxxxmas." --Don McLeese

"364 Days to Go" is lazy, jazzy, which provides the perfect soundtrack to a snowy night wrapping presents.

“less colorful is the laconic "364 Days to Go" a wry cynical bluesy-ballad about the obsessive entanglements of the holidays”.

review

Wrapping paper everywhere
Stacked up dishes, but who cares
They can wait until tomorrow now
It`s you and me, and this old couch

The Christmas tree in our living room
Fills the AIR with pine perfume
And colored lights dancing on the walls
While Nat King Cole sings "Deck The Halls"

Don`t you get the sense tonight
That for now the world is right
And as another Christmas ends
My mind drifts and once again
I`m thinking like a six year old
Only 364 days to go

Max got his bike
I swear, that kid
He`s got it parked right by his bed
Jenny sure loves her puppy too
I`m not sure just who walked who

Thanks for my robe, no that`s ok
It looks better on you anyway
What is it about this time of year
That makes our troubles disappear

`Cause don`t you get the sense tonight
That for now the world is right
And as another Christmas ends
My mind drifts and once again
I`m thinking like a six year old
Only 364 days to go

We can`t avoid it
No way around it
Before too long we`ll be
Either back to work back to school
Or just back to reality

Don`t you get the sense tonight
That for now the world is right
And as another Christmas ends
My mind drifts and once again
I`m thinking like a six year old
Only 364 days to go

Be here before you know it.
