Love On The Inside [Deluxe Fan Edition]

CD-Charts > Music > Todays Country
by: Sugarland

Release Date July 22, 2008
Sugarland is my favorite duo in the first place but i feel that even non sugarland fans could appreciate this album! There is a lot of variation among the 17 songs and it is one of the only cd's that i do not skip over certain songs. I can honestly listen to the whole cd start to finish without any songs that i could give or take - everyone is worth listening to over and over!

All I Intended to Be

CD-Charts > Music > Todays Country
by: Emmylou Harris

Release Date June 10, 2008
Once again I feel compelled to comment on Emmylou's music. When I first saw this disk I read various reviews here whining that this album is a "downer" and the like. I smiled to myself and bought it without a second thought. I would have bought it no matter what the reviews said. Yes, Emmylou sings about pain, but she also sings about redemption and perseverance, the dawn that follows the darkness. Anyway, what price do you put on music that brings tears to your eyes?

But I am writing just to comment on one track from this disk. "All That You Have Is Your Soul", a song that did not grab me when I heard the author's version two decades ago, is rescued here and made Emmylou's own. The song includes the lines: "hunger only for ... Read More:

Carnival Ride

CD-Charts > Music > Todays Country
by: Carrie Underwood

Release Date October 23, 2007
This cd is unbelievable and deserves all the kudos and awards it has received. Carrie Underwood's first cd was a powerhouse seller and also garnered her critical acclaim and tons of awards. But as with any artist it is the second release that showcases their creativity and true talent.

This cd far surpasses the first, which I loved, in song selection, vocal performance and interpretation and Carrie proves herself a true unique talent with her own special gifts.

I can put this cd in my player and let it run over and over for there is no filler here for me. But there are certainly some highlights. ALL AMERICAN GIRL allows Carrie to hit some notes never heard before. Her interpretation of I TOLD YOU SO is heartfelt and ... Read More:

American Man: Greatest Hits Vol. II

CD-Charts > Music > Todays Country
by: Trace Adkins

Release Date December 04, 2007
Trace Adkins won me over totally after seeing him in concert in March.He is a great entertainer and has a wonderful deep voice to listen to. I enjoy variety in my country music and this cd delivers that. He is able to sing the funny sarcastic songs as well as the heart felt ballads. You're Gonna Miss This never fails to bring a tear to my eye and not too many songs do that to me. When you can touch my heart with your music I am a fan for life. Wonderful CD!

35 Biggest Hits [2 CD]

CD-Charts > Music > Todays Country
by: Toby Keith

Release Date May 06, 2008
I had only played Toby Keith's 35 Biggest Hits album for the first time and it was already among my favourite CDs. I hadn't heard a lot of his older songs and so I found the first CD on the double disk album a completly new experience and I loved every song I heard! While disk one is more ballady and from the 90's era, disk two is more of the recent funnier songs. I couldn't believe it was only around $11.99 USD (which came to about the same AUD at this time) and I would have payed that much just for the new single on there 'She's a Hottie' which I dare anyone to listen to and not be inspired to dance.
It's a great CD to have for parties or for one long Toby indulgence. I can't stop playing it and think it's a great price!
If you're not huge ... Read More:

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

CD-Charts > Music > Todays Country
by: Miranda Lambert

Release Date May 01, 2007
Let it be said that Miranda Lambert is the best artist to emerge from a 'reality show' on any station in any musical format. That this "Nashville Star" graduate had a great voice is a moot point, but few could have predicted that she would make a timeless, classic album such as "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" so early in her career.

The album title is unfortunate (I would have preferred that she chose something more laidback or meaningful), but the album is most decidedly a grassroot country album that gives you true country in this era of pathetic pop-rock being passed off as country. One listen to this album and you will not be able to take Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift seriously anymore. The 'country music' that they make is fake, at best, but granted ... Read More:
