Fans of the Pop-Country group Sugarland probably own this CD by now. Jennifer Nettles’ unique voice on her first solo album runs the gamut from ballads to power pop songs. The sidemen–Matt Sweeney, Smokey Hormel, Jason Lader, ex-Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith, Alex Acuña, and Lenny Castro–are top-notch. Some of the songs include wind instruments, string instruments, and horns that give the songs a very different sound from the average C&W album. My favorite song is “Good Time to Cry.” GRADE: B+

You sure keep up with music, George. Well, everything!
Patti, I try to listen to a new music CD once a week.
I’m giving it a try now.
Bill, I think you’ll like Jennifer Nettles’ unique style. She can really belt out a song!
I’m having trouble with “unique style” and your description “runs the gamut from ballads to power pop songs”, which sounds like a hundred other singers these days. I don’t listen to vocals much these days anyway.
Rick, just like Stevie Nicks has a unique voice, so does Jennifer Nettles. How was LCC?
George, we’re leaving tomorrow morning, two dat drive down, four days there, two day drive back. We may stop on the way home to se Art.
Rick, if you can you should should visit Art Scott. His record collection will astound you!
