 Love Kellie Pickler! Jun 26, 2009

 Tired Jun 12, 2009
This is a good example of what "country" music has sunk to - pop/rock with a slide guitar. Ms. Pickler is no better, and no worse, than dozens of other wannabees who seem to think a whine qualifies them as a country singer. As far as the material goes, well, it matches the artist in quality and authenticity.
An almost unqualified mess - with decent sound.
Country Done Right : Better than Any Carrie Underwood Record Jun 02, 2009
When country music is done right, you just know. Brad Paisley and Keith Urban are prime examples of songwriters who can take a song and elevate it to another realm entirely, and in the female realm I can only think of Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire. To that elite list, I shall now add Kellie Pickler, an American Idol contestant who has consistently delivered one solid vocal after the other - this is her debut album, and quite frankly, I found this a whole lot better than those two screechy Carrie Underwood records. Seriously, "Carnival Ride" was just painful, and there is something about Carrie's voice that I just cannot stand to listen. And lets not even start on Taylor Swift, a non-artist if there ever was one.
Kellie, on the other hand, relies on impeccable vocal delivery and some really beautiful lyrics - all of which make even her 'filler' songs sound truly novel and fresh. Prime example is the standout "Gotta Keep Moving", which should have been a single. This is the perfect example of what a country single in the 2000s should sound like. Among her contemporaries I can only count Miranda Lambert as halfway talented, though Lambert has certain dry and lifeless songs in her catalog, unlike Pickler.
What I especially appreciate about this album is that it really lets the singers' voice take center stage, unlike Underwood and Swifts' records. This is a boon to those of us who like unadulterated human voices that can sing - I've never been a listener of over-produced country - one reason why Toby Keith, Julianne Hough or even Rascal Flatts never quite appealed to me.
Like Lee Ann Womacks' sensational "Theres More Where That Came From" album (which embraced the classic country genre), this is an album that works as a perfect marriage between the 'old' guard and the new world of country music. For that alone, Pickler should be commended. On songs such as "Im On My Way", you get the feeling that the only formula for a hit record is a beautiful tune that is sung just right. Finally, we have a country artist who can do that in spades.
Five Stars. A must-have country record that deserves far more recognition.
Kelly May 07, 2009
Was an american idol watcher. Loved Kelly her personality she is so cute and nieve. I just love her. I got this at a great price with great and fast shipping.
WOW!!!!!I was blown away Apr 06, 2009
I wasn't sure what to expect..I thought Kellie was adorable on American Idol so I thought I'd give her a try....I liked the first to the last song...thats rare for me...I'm always skipping around to the songs I like, even on the new Carrie Underwood cd I just got...when I put this cd in it just plays....everytime.... I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
