    If anyone here hasn’t heard the Wrights, I’ll urge you to do so posthaste. The only thing wrong with their forthcoming EP is that it’s an EP and not an LP.

    Better an EP chock-full of quality than an LP with filler.

    They played a part in that Janet Reno project, Song of America. Their rendition of “Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning” didn’t come close to touching Alan Jackson’s version. I liked the way they sounded together, though, so I’ll have to check out their EP.

    The music up on The Wrights’ Myspace page right now is wonderful stuff. First listen, knock my socks off kind of stuff (although more tracks are up on their site – snippets at least http://www.thewrightsmusic.com/thewrights.html. “Rewind” is just killing me, man.

    I noticed your comment got zapped by our spam filter, Peter. Sorry about that, but don’t feel bad; Adonis, Hippocrates, Odysseus, and Constantine got filtered, too.

    The Wrights “Down This Road” was my favorite country album released in 2005 and I’ve listened to my CD more times than I listen to most in my collection. Shannon has one of the purest female country voices I’ve ever heard and writes great songs to boot. Mainstream crap country radio completely ignored their first single, the title cut from the CD, and I have to admit the music video concept for that song was one of the most annoying ever recorded. Having them walking constantly in and out of the room from different directions was just plain dumb and distracting.

    Even though they opened most of Uncle Alan’s concerts in 2005, the total lack of radio airplay and a video that was only aired a couple of times doomed them to their current state of obscurity. Its a good thing they are on Alan’s private label or they never would be releasing a second album, EP or otherwise.

    Fortunately Alan had Adam and Shannon join him at the Ryman for one song on the “Precious Memories” DVD concert, so at least I can see them perform when I feel like it. Although The Wrights used to perform on the Opry now and then, its been ages since their last appearance. I’m hoping the release of the new EP will motivate them to get back to the Opry stage. Shannon’s live vocal performances are often weak because she plays a big acoustic guitar that dwarfs her tiny frame. She should ditch the guitar and just concentrate on using her voice to its full potential…….
