Rustie Blue Reviewed in Maverick Magazine! "Stronger Than
Steel" REVIEW August 2009 Issue
Rustie Blue

Stronger Than Steel

CSP Center Stage Productions CSP0826
4 Stars****
Destined for placement on people's Top 10 albums due to the feisty
yet tender vocals and simply played but infectiously catchy
instrumentals.

Having been recognised across Europe by one of her songs, a duet with
"Whispering" Bill Anderson called Chip, Chip, standing at the top of
the European Country Music Association for a mere seven weeks, this
third release by this feisty and talented artist is brimming to the top
with promise. An artist who won't let Nashville shoot her down and
instead is pursuing the dream of being a country music star by not
restricting herself to the USA audience and instead travelling around
the world in search of fame and recognition. Based on this album, that
mentioned success is a guarantee.

With a powerful voice to test even the likes of Linda Ronstadt, her
booming spirit of never giving up and just going for it is certainly
evident on Cowgirls Do It Better. Similar to Kendal Carson's I Like
Trucks, I guess we all owe Bob Harris a huge thanks for her being
introduced to the UK, in terms of its spirit and damn right outrageous
lyrics, the vocals of Rustie certainly do not let up and never give an
inch. Just listening to Rustie in full swing leaves me exhilarated.
Goodness knows what it must be like for the one singing this! With its
frequent key changes handled handsomely well, the radio-friendly It
Feels Good certainly has not just a country sound to it but a
high-quality pop aspect to it. These tracks are ones, which not only
radio bosses pee in their pants over, but those who appreciate a
top-notch tune. The opening and one of the best of the thirteen on the
album, Fall In The First Place, has the advantage of including some old
timey sounds with a modern twist. When Rustie sings her heart out you
really can believe it, no matter what the lyrics are. If she sung My
Old Man's a Dustman I'm sure I would believe that to be the
case. Although it was released on her second album the duet with Bill
Anderson on Chip, Chip is one which is certainly amusing. Showing that
there is still potential appeal for Bill by recording with promising
artists, their voices counteract so well that it actually won the
"Vocal Collaboration of the Year" award at the 2005 European CMA Awards;
a triumph certainly worth a nod or two of the Stetson.

After listening to this album, you do begin to wonder why the heck this
has not been played by Bob Harris? With Nick Barraclough's show
sadly no more, it is down to people like Bob to do something about this
total lack of knowledge. A peach of an album it has to be said. RH
