Love ‘this song by Cris_Gaye Bateson. Great country feal while sending the needed message. I have enjoyed this song over and over and feal refreshed each time I hear it. You’ll love it too

Sound like a Country Song...well I be happy to gave You the best review.. but same time I have to tell You truth.. so .. First of all.. it end right on the middle,,,the vocal part should be much better...with a lot of work on rerecording...with better singer...the song will sound much better,, as it is it will not be played on AM / FM Radio.. and perform it Life on concerts will be a little risky.. Try to make it better.. Good Luck...

Vocals are strong but the adlibs overlapped a few times with the lead, production is strong, Lyrics are a bit hard to comprehend don't know what the main focal point is. Overall though not bad.

"Always Love Texas" is a good little country song. One thing that makes the song unique is that it's a country song sung by Jamaicans, and they do a great job of it! The session players hit the nail right on the head with their country pickin, and the vocals are deep and rich, with good backup harmony. I believe that this song will get the attention of country fans!

I love a bit of country and this is a nice little number. The vocals could do with a livening up a little but then so could mine! I like the guitars as well, they have a feel like from the Black Crowes Before the Frost album. Obviously I come from a different spectrum of music which may not spout Christianity but I have never minded a bit of gospel as it always has a nice warm/happy feeling. Anyways, like it and will listen to it again sometime. Well done.

Again..interesting..a bit laid back....somewhat common..but at the same time uncommon...and at the end the west texas town of elpaso..i fell in love with a....cardinal sin..for me anywayi never put someone elses line in my song

The musicianship is fabulous on this- a great country sound. Vocals are good also. Mix is just right. The lyrics are strong actually so much so that I wasn't sure if this was an original or a copy of another artist. The vocal accent makes it very interesting and catchy.

I listened to this song and I really tried to relate and understand the message trying to be relayed. I know it mentions how much you love Texas but how does it relate to God. I was lost during the song and the arrangement needed to be better

loovely contemporar music. i like the way how you have taken it all the way back to the 70s and the organ. carry on doing you. its your time to proclaim the goodness of Jesus and all that he has done for you. Bless you

This graceful song of C.G. Batson about Texas grabbed me from the start. The virtuos played acoustic guitar carries this wonderful composition. He sings with a wonderful voice and has a unique sopran vocal projection. The refrain comes from the heart and makes the meaning of the song engaging for me. The lyrics tells us about his deep beleave in god and that he felt in love with an mexican girl. I like the perfect played piano comming at the right time. There is also a soft musical instrument sounding like a Hawaiian guitar underlay the nice melody softly in the back. This extra factor brings additionally beauty into the song. I find it extremely good and the songwriter has a god given talent. This is definitely a very professional arrangement. But why do I tell this? Well, you might be a country music fan looking for the light at the end of the tunnel for great music. This one must be a radio hit and it´s original. Listen to the song and I´m sure you will like to add it. Let others know your recommendation.

When I listen to this song, it creates an atmosphere like being in an old bar. I like the slow and melodic instrumental arrangement. Even though the instrumental arrangement sounds good, the lyrical content is a bit confusing. At first, he sings about the love of Jesus and then he sings about falling in love with a Mexican girl. I'm not sure if the writer wanted to demonstrate how this song can be sang as both an county/gospel, or a romantic song, or if they just wanted to sing what sounded good to them. I do agree with a previous reviewer that the song would probably sound a bit better if the key was transposed a few half notes higher to show the vocalist has higher range. Other than that awesome job.

Cris Gaye! Well done! I really enjoyed both your heart and American love in this song. I always appreciate songs that touch on the cherished traditions of America. You also have a really warm range, though I would recommend maybe transposing your songs up a few keys? I say this because though you naturally have a deep range, it would be easier to understand your lyrics and connect as an listener, if they could both sing along and understand the lyrics clearly. Keep writing! Keep singing! Blessings.

Always love Texas follows a decidedly old-school country production formula, and does that well up to a point. The mix, the prominent pedal steel, predictable transitions, and otherwise subdued instrumentation leave you quickly with the expectation that you're about to hear a heart felt story. While the vocal work is respectable, the lyrics are a bit incoherent. Instead of telling a story they seem to be more a random, perhaps stream-of-consciousness, collection of statements, thoughts, aphorisms, and memories. I was left looking for the thread of a story that led to the feelings of the singer but I never found it. I suppose it's possible that was the intention - to create an abstract mood and fill it with some images - but a better way to do that would have been to tell a story that carried the listener through an experience of discovery. In the end, that storytelling component was the missing piece of an otherwise decent execution of old-school-country.

Gosh. I don't know what to say. First of all, the country-style tracking on this song is excellent. The truth is, the country industry may not know it, but it's starving for black stars (although there is one Darius Rucker who is excellent. The song itself has a great Americana-alt-country feel, and the vocal performance is extremely interesting, although not what one normally hears in country or alt-country style music. The only negative about the song (and I say this knowing how the Nashville industry is), its not "formula," meaning there'snot really a hook, although I personally find that refreshing. Labels on the other hand might not. As for now, I think this is an interesting direction that deserves an indy-label run at least.
