"Bettie James" - an outstanding EP that shows the musical talent of Jimmie Allen (Review) [English Version]
Hey 😉
I usually listen to Country artists who have been in the music industry for a dozen or so years. However, today I am reviewing the EP of Jimmie Allen, who started his music career in 2018 when he released his debut album "Mercury Lane".
The singer's latest album "Bettie James: A Collaboration Project" was released on July 10, 2020. The title and the artists invited to this album are related to the singer's close ones: his grandmother and father, who have already passed away.
The EP consists of 7 songs:
1. Good Times Roll - This is a duo with rapper Nelly. Nice, energetic intro. Typical song for a party.
2. Drunk & I Miss You - together with the artist the song is performed by Mickey Guyton (Country music artist). I like the intro of the song. Without a doubt you can count this song about a failed relationship. It's worth writing that the voices of the artists fit together perfectly.
3. Made For These - in the song you can hear Tim McGraw. It is a beautiful song with an important message about the fact that the moments when we lose something make us stronger later. I like the musical arrangement.
4. Freedom Was A Highway - this is a duo with Brad Paisley (a well-known country singer and guitarist). Although the musical arrangement is very energetic, the lyrics are nostalgic. You can clearly hear the longing for the old times here.
5. Why Things Happen - in the song you can hear Charley Pride (legend of the Country genre) and Darius Rucker (also a well-known Country singer). In my opinion it's a great composition, where the question arises: Why do bad things happen in our lives. I think it's the best song you can hear on this album.
6. When This Is Over - together with the artist the composition is performed by: Tauren Wells (singer of Pop and Christian music), Rita Wilson (singer of Pop and Country), The Oak Ridge Boys (legendary Country band). The song is in a way related to the Coronavirus pandemic. I like the musical arrangement, and the lyrics have a deeper meaning and probably reflect what each of us thinks: how this situation will change us [people]. Jimmie's respect for the legendary band The Oak Ridge Boys deserves recognition.
7. This Is Us - this is the 1 single promoting the album. The artist is partnered by Noah Cyrus (Miley Cyrus' younger sister). Nice musical arrangement, and the words are catchy. This is a love song.
I won't hide the fact that I became interested in this album just because I heard a joint piece of music by the artist with Tim McGraw, which delighted me. But when I listened to the rest of the composition, I think this album is fantastic. It's worth noting that all the songs were co-composed by Jimmie Allen, which proves his musical talent. An additional advantage of this album is that you can hear artists from different music genres and decades, so everyone, regardless of age, will find their favorite song. I also like the fact that these compositions are varied in terms of musical arrangement and the fact that they have a deeper meaning as in the case of "Why Things Happen" and make the listener reflect as it was with me. I think that if he continues to make great albums like "Bettie James" he will achieve great success in the music industry.

I rate this EP on: 5/5.
