Yes, but this is a review of the record with production, not an acoustic performance. I think the record sounds horrible, and noted that she usually sounds much better than this. Her ability to perform on stage has nothing to do with reviewing a record.

You people are really insane. Carolyn Dawn Johnson is one of the finest TALENTS we’ve seen in a long time. She’s one of the few who can walk on a stage with a guitar…no production…and still captivate you for 60-90 minutes. Pull the cotton out of your ears!!!

Yeah, I love the Dixie Chicks album. So I fawn over it as such. Craig Morgan sucks, in my humble opinion. I’ve heaped way too much praise on Lee Ann Womack and Sara Evans for me to have a political litmus test. Actually, I rave about Toby Keith’s latest single in the same post.

It just basically comes down to my personal taste. Politics have nothing to do with it.

seems to me that singles reviews have been in a similar format since this website’s inception, and crap in Kevin’s opinion gets called out as such.

I think you’re letting your political viewpoints influence your objectivity in reviewing singles. The Craig Morgan single isn’t his best but it’s okay. Similarly, you seem to be fawning over the tracks on the current Dixie Chicks album, the weakest of their CDs (and I have them all going back to THANK HEAVENS FOR DALE EVANS)

I do agree that Carolyn Dawn Johnson needs to quit shrieking. It seems to me that she has a decent voice , if only she will learn to use it

The Eric Church CD is excellent throughout

Curb stays in business in spite of itself.

“Swing” is retarded.

1. Bob Seger? Oh yeah, “Like a rock …”

2. Carolyn Dawn Johnson: Never cared much for her work. Sorry.

3. Chris Young: Haven’t heard this yet.

4. Craig Morgan: Awww man, I like Craig. This isn’t his best but still good.

5. Emerson Drive, Eric Church and Gary Nichols … I like ‘em all.

6. Jack Ingram: I disagree. I think it’s a clever country-rocker. I like this guy’s work.

7. Jason Aldean: Amarillo, one of the most popular cities in country music. In Aldean’s case, he nails it. I expect he has a great career ahead of him.

8. Jo Dee, Kenny and LeAnn … not crazy about any of them. Still, I’ll listen to them.

9. Toby Keith: I expected “Grain of Salt” to be the next single, very end of summer. “Crash Here Tonight” would’ve been better towards fall and winter. Just my opinion.

10. Trace Adkins: “Swing.” It’s stupid but fun. I mean, c’mon, he’s a pitchman for the Waffle House.

I am looking forward to Bob Seger’s album which features a duet with Patty Loveless. I’m in desperate need of a Patty fix.
