简介： Letters From Home：歌手：John Michael Montgomery 语言：英语 流派：Country 发行时间：2004-04-20 唱片公司：华纳国际音乐专辑简介John Michael Montgomery has weathered a number of personal and professional storms since his 1992 debut, but a label change in 2000 jumpstarted his career, and now the title track of Letters from Home has made him a contender again. While producer Byron Gallimore stocks the album with substantial songs (&quot;Look at Me Now,&quot;&quot;Cool&quot;) that contain a heart-tugging nugget of private truth, it´s &quot;Letters from Home&quot; that will leave you bawling. Whether you´re pro- or antiwar doesn´t matter: its strength lies in the way it puts a personal face on a faraway army. There´s more eloquence in this soldier´s internal monologue than there is in the text of the letters, and Montgomery´s vocal--as lean as a G.I.´s rations--drives home the authenticity of the moment, which unveils so many hidden hurts and disappointments and fears among his platoon. Like &quot;Good Ground,&quot; the song that precedes it, &quot;Letters&quot; points up the importance, responsibility, and identity of belonging. Country music handles this theme better than any other genre, and Montgomery, now a family man himself, imbues his readings not just as a hit maker, but as a man who knows his own place in the parade of life. And just maybe, country music history. <br/>
