Title: This CD is a GEM!
Review: As a fan of Americana, I really am not one who likes the changes Country music has seen over the past 10 years or so. The trend toward Country-Pop has been very intimidating to me as my old favorites become more and more dated. Faith Hill, Shania Twain and all the rest rule "country" these days. I blindly started making the same assumptions about Carrie Underwood, lumping her in with all of the other "country-pop" singers. I said on many other boards that she was a "pop tart" and that she was going to ruin and censor Country music.After finally actually listening to the CD this weekend though instead of blindly bashing it, I have done a complete 180 on Carrie. The CD is very good and the girl has an amazing vocal range. I'm really into "Before He Cheats". It sounds very much like old-school Country! Even the popish songs like "Some Hearts", "Lessons Learned" and "I Just Can't Live A Lie" are good.OK, you guys win! I'm impressed! My Carrie-bashing days are all but over.
