Title: I don't like country, but I like the country side...
Review: With Carrie's debut CD, you get a taste of what makes Country music appealing (lightheartedness, sweetness, innocence, suniness) but none of its quirkiness (hicks driving tractors, heavy twangs, yodeling, etc.). As a musician, Carrie has great phrasing and expression, and also possesses a handful of controlled vocal nuances. You feel that she has thought through and carefully crafted each song.While she has a very pleasant sweetness to her voice, she has range/flexibility and proves she is able to growl in "Before He Cheats." She has created a solid, well-knit and consistent-sounding CD. The track placements were also great - each song contributed somewhat to the track preceding and following.My only reservation on this CD is "I ain't in Checotah anymore." The tune is very catchy but it borders on "too Country Cheeseball" for me.
