<\/a><\/p>\nAn American Classic is the seventeenth studio album from Jeannie Seely and her first since 2017\u2019s Written In Song release. This collection is a mixture of new songs and some re-recorded classics. The new songs sound like they would fit right alongside the classics. Jeannie Seely takes you back to the days of listening to the great American classics on AM country radio in the 1960\u2019s or 70\u2019s. Let\u2019s check out some of the highlights of this set.<\/span><\/p>\n The album kicks off with \u201cSo Far So Good\u201d featuring The Whites. This track has a bit of a western swing sound to it and I love the addition of The Whites here. It\u2019s a great way to start the album on a high note. Another favorite is \u201cIf You Could Call It That\u201d featuring Steve Wariner. This song was written using a journal of unfinished songs by Dottie West. Steve Wariner helped with a co-write on this track. One of the re-recorded classics on this album is Jeannie\u2019s 1973 hit \u201cCan I Sleep In Your Arms Tonight, Mister\u201d. The original tune made it to #6 on the country charts and was recorded by Willie Nelson for his Red Headed Stranger album. This new recording is closer to Jeannie\u2019s original version than Willie\u2019s minimalist version that most folks would know from Red Headed Stranger. Speaking of Willie Nelson, he appears on this record in a duet with Jeannie on a new track written by Dallas Wayne called \u201cNot A Dry Eye In The House\u201d. This is a great ballad and it features a great vocal performance from Jeannie and Willie. I love the strings and piano on this track. It sounds like it would fit in on a 1960\u2019s country radio station.<\/span><\/p>\n Another great duet is the classic tune \u201cOld Flames (Can\u2019t Hold A Candle To You) featuring Waylon Payne. This duo does a great job with one of my favorite classic country love songs. Waylon Payne matches Jeannie\u2019s soulful voice easily on this cut. Finally, we have \u201cThat\u2019s How I Roll\u201d. This is a rocking number featuring Lorrie Morgan on vocals and the one and only Vince Gill on guitar. The piano is really awesome on this track and I love how well it plays with Vince Gill\u2019s guitar solo.<\/span><\/p>\n This album is another great release from country legend Jeannie Seely. Whether you know her as a star and regular at the Grand Ole Opry or are a new fan, this record is highly recommended. It also has a great list of guest artists from names like Rhonda Vincent to Ray Stevens to Waylon Payne and Willie Nelson. I have personally seen Jeannie Seely at the Opry a couple of times and I hope I get the chance to again in the future. In the meantime, \u201cAn American Classic\u201d is available everywhere as of August 14th, 2020.
