Breathy, sultry vocals from April Taylor - one of Nashville's brightest new talents

April Taylor has one of those breathy, sultry voices that could melt even the hardest of hearts and her new single stands every chance of breaking into the charts.

"I Wanna Live Like That" - the title track of her debut album - is a classy number written by my erstwhile friend Larry Wayne Clark and Cathy Anne Whitemore.

The arrangement would be too Nashpop for my taste were it not for the subdued lead guitar rolling around deep in the mix and the tidy use of fiddles rather than violins.

My one complaint is that April's vocals lack the punch to cut through the mix, and they get lost here and there. But that's picking holes

My View:  Not the album's best track .... and the album is brilliant!!
