Alan
Jackson is well-known not only for great music,
but for his love of family and appreciation for
automobiles (previously demonstrated on such
hits as "Mercury Blues" and "Drive"). Which is
precisely why this cleverly written Dennis Linde
tune is such a perfect fit. The song finds
Jackson dealing with a shady mechanic who begins
reciting a litany of car repair troubles that
ends with an $800 bill. When the mechanic turns
out to be an aspiring songwriter, Jackson has a
chance to exact a little justice, by working on
his song. This single boasts some of Linde's
most inventive lyrics, and Jackson delivers each
line with a tongue-in-cheek attitude that is
sure to elicit smiles. Between his
personality-packed performance and a radio-ready
chorus, "The Talkin' Song Repair Blues" sounds
like another hit for this veteran chart-topper.
One more reason to pick up a copy of his
excellent album, "What I
Do."—DEP
