“Deep Down”- I have hit on a pile of country records. All of them using the Arista label and while country is not my favorite, it is just a song or two, so bare with me. The viola and handclaps in the chorus come out with an endearing display. Pam’s warbling vocals do not overcome or detract from this catchy tune. The pause before the title’s refrain is boring, but it picks up each time with the next phrase. The second half of the song takes off even though it uses typical writings, “We had some bad times, we had good times, too”. Why does she lamely quote Dickens? Why not take the time to be direct and use epoch- as our mutual feelings were the epoch of belief. Yeah, dare your audience to think, Pam. Incredulous.
“Tequila Mockingbird”- is a stupid pun of a great novel, it is also the name of a local outdoor band. This song is nice. Its images fit well into a bar scene, and the quick chord changes break up any monotony. The flow of this bypasses the silly title. Moreover, I enjoyed this song with no abysmal thoughts or suffering. It’s a fine pop song.
