CD review: New Jonas Brothers 'Lines, Vines and Trying Times' is legit03:59 PM CDT on Wednesday, June 17, 2009Artist: The Jonas Brothers Album: Lines, Vines and Trying Times Label: Hollywood Records Yes, millions of teenage girls helped the Jonas Brothers rise to fame, but they're also the reason why the group isn't taken seriously, musically speaking. The musicianship of Nick, Kevin and Joe is often overlooked, but that may finally change on their fourth studio album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times. The follow-up to their breakthrough CD, 2008's A Little Bit Longer , Lines features a cool collection of songs primarily written by the Jonas Brothers, including groovy ones like "Hey Baby," "Much Better" and the first single, "Paranoid." But the best songs are the slow jams, like "Turn Right" and the exceptional "Black Keys," solely written by the youngest Jonas, 16-year-old Nick. The CD is produced by John Fields (Miley Cyrus, Switchfoot) and executive produced by poppa Jonas, Kevin Jonas, Sr. Lines, Vines and Trying Times is not without its missteps, though. Where the boys try to take artistic leaps &mdash like collaborating with rapper Common on "Don't Charge Me for the Crime" — they fall short. The country-sounding "What Did I Do to Your Heart" is also dismissible. CHECK THIS TRACK OUT: Definitely listen to "Black Keys," the smoothest and most impressive song the CD offers.
