I personally think it’s overrated. Another break-up ballad. It’s good, but not great. Love Letters, Dry Town, Desperation and Down were all superior songs.

I also like this song, but I think Desperation would still be better, but I like this one a lot too. I personally hope it does well at radio.

JHD, I love “Famous In A Small Town” too. I think it’s rather clever and describes my husband’s small town quite accurately, though he’s never been quite as amused by it as Miranda seems to be.

I should mention that “Desperation” has one of my favorite lines by Miranda in it, the first line: “Give a dog a bone, I’ll take it if I have to.”

I have to say that I am glad that she is releasing a slower, quiter song, so that people can hear this side of her — while I love her kick your ass songs — some of my favorites from her are her slower softer side songs — I believe that my favorite from this album is “Desperation” as well, but my all time favorite is “Greyhound Bound for Nowhere”

I really like “Famous in a Small Town”. It reminds me so much of where I grew up. It’s like Miranda knows all the same people I know. Heh!

I was actually surprised they led with “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” instead of “Famous” frankly. When I first heard the album I thought for sure they’d draw in fans with Famous before going into the Crazy stuff.

Shows you how much I know! ;-)

Heh! “Desperation” is my #1 from this album with “More Like Her” my #3. I love the vulnerable side of Miranda.

That whole angry chick thing you like so much Leeann? See JHD’s Rule #103: Never date a woman that can kick your butt! ;-)

Great review btw!

CXG was one of 2-3 favorite country releases of last year, but this may be my least favorite of a great batch of songs. Nothing bad about the song, but nothing that steals my imagination.

Leeann,

I think they’d be smart to re-release that song maybe next spring as a bridge to her next album…

Matt,

After further research into the matter, it seems that you are actually right. So, I’ll edit the review to reflect your correction. Thanks.
