Free Music Review: Breaking the sound barrier Hit: 5 StarsWow! There's sooooo... much to like in this album it's amazing. The music is mostly upbeat & very catchy--making you want to (& will if no one's around) sing along. The lyrics are fine, meaningful, & personally touching--about life which is getting faster & faster in the contemporary world, while people are still people with hopes, feelings, needs, desires, & all the rest of what makes people human. The lead singer, Jennifer Nettles is powerful yet gifted with a sweet voice (though a bit twangy in style). She grabs you quickly for a wild ride--immersing the listener in the musical story she's telling. I bought the CD based on hearing Baby Girl & Something More (on the TV show Vegas of all place). Then I heard Sugarland on the CMA show--winning awards as they so deserve. The range & variety of the songs on the album are good too--from sweet & poignant ballads to wild & spicy soaring. Virtually all of the songs are well worth listening to & the majority could become successful singles. Yes, the style is their own mixture of influences--the 3 artists come from different musical backgrounds, which makes their wonderful blending are the more impressive. And, the trio wrote all the songs on the CD--with Hall the primary author (solo writer on one of them). How many trios are there with 2 women & 1 man? I wonder if they are unique? Well, they are unique even if not in that respect--how many bands include a mandolin?. Of course, country purists may not be happy with them, but the vast majority of listeners ARE. This has become one of my favorite albums, at the speed of sound. IMHO, it's terrific.
Free Music Review: A Must Have Hit: 5 StarsI caught the Baby Girl video on CMT and the later video with Bon Jovi. I was anxious to hear more of Jennifer Nettles and Sugarland but when I listened to some samples of the CD's I was not convinced. Loving her voice though, I bought Twice the Speed of Life. I am so very glad I did. It is an awesome CD! It is a nice mixture of harmony, both vocals and instrumental and I love the songs having that sort of 'story line' in them. They have a way of putting you right there. I've bumped it to my #1 pick. Jennifer's voice is strong and soft when it needs to be. A memorable tone that suits the songs well. I will be checking out other music by this gal and her group and only hope she stays true to her style of music. It is nothing to be disappointed about.
Free Music Review: Running at top Speed Hit: 4 StarsAlthough I am not an avid Country music listener, I have respect for several artist. As an African-American, I like more upbeat songs, but I have fallen in love with "Just Might (Make Me Believe)." This song has heart and appeal to anyone who has ever been down, but has the faith and love of someone special. I also enjoy "Time, TIme, Time" too. This CD is a must have and althought I only gave it 4 stars(mainly because country isn't my favorite music type), I highly recommend that if you do like country music, buy this CD!
