Dee Jee Overby – It’s Your Love

CD Review: Dee Jee Overby – It’s Your Love

by Ritchie Ritchison for Country Music News International

 

It’s Your Love

What Can You Do

All the Love in San Antone

Lonely Shadow

A Mind is a Terrible Thing

I Meant Everything

 

 

 

Dee Jee Overby is no stranger to country music. Her late husband Dickey was a masterful pedal steel player for many years working with many of the greats in the business. But this time around it is Dee Jee who is in the spotlight. Co -writing two of the tracks on this disc with Chuck Cusimano and mining three gems from Chuck’s illustrious catalog Dee Jee has delivered a true honky tonk jewel.

It’s Your Love will get your feet to tapping but What Can You Do slows it down and bit and gives you the chills from a steel guitar that longs to creep into your soul and take up residence.

All the Love in San Antone shuffles with the best of them and proves why this swinging style of music is so popular. A Lonely Shadow is one of those songs that should have been recorded by the Possum, George Jones.

 

Of the two penned by Overby and Cusimano, I Meant Everything is actually a duet between the writers and you can here the fun they had in making this record. It’s uptempo and lively and will get you whooping and hollerin’ while kicking up sawdust on a dance floor.

 

It is so fun and dare I say it contagious (in this day and age that may not be such a popular phrase) I can understand why it has found its way onto to so many pure country and honky tonk radio playlists.
