Since my gradual shift to country music began in the mid 70′s, I’m not familiar with any of the rock songs mentioned. However, based on the above comments (thank you all) and the Sugarland TV special August 3rd, I’ll be buying this CD/DVD combo. Can Jennifer Nettles sing anything badly? Her versatility is as amazing as her voice.

Edie Brickell’s “Circle” is one of my all-time favorite songs- and man, Jennifer really does it justice. I agree with the idea that she could probably sing anything and it would sound pretty darn good.

The first time I listened to this disc, I must admit that I was caught off guard by their cover of “Sex on Fire”. I looooove that song, and KoL- and I’m certainly the total opposite of a prude, but that’s definately the first time I’ve ever heard an oral sex reference made in the context of a country music performance. I think I expected them to change it and it’s because they didn’t that i giggled like a twelve year old for a minute. haha.

and as a sidenote- when their inevitable covers album does come out, I bet it will be phenomenal. Jennifer and Kristian obviously have very eclectic taste in music and I bet there would be some very interesting/unexpected selections on a cover album.

One of the things I love about Sugarland… they know their audience. They realize their fans aren’t just fans of country music and don’t just listen to country music.
LOVE their work and hope they are around, and keep doing what got them to this point.. and better, for a long time.
(translation: keep doing things their way and not let Music Row wear them out like they do everyone else)

I love this album- just really well performed songs. “The One I Love” is a standout, and I love “Better Man”, even though the original has more energy to it.

I wish Sugarland would drop all of the 80s arena rock stuff and go back to the type of music that worked so well on their first two albums. I really don’t want to hear “country” versions of Pearl Jam or B-52′s songs.

I LOVE this Dvd/Cd set! I bought it the week after it came out and I can’t stop listening to it! “Nightswimming/Joey” is one of my favorites and “Irreplaceable” has been my jam since I got it (though my friend Samantha wasn’t too thrilled with it). The DVD is amazing…it got me thru my depression of them cancelling their Glendale, AZ show with Keith Urban. I think Sugarland has quickly become superstars of the genre and they’ll definitely be here for awhile. I would be shocked not to see them nominated for Entertainer come Sept. 9.

VP,

I saw Sugarland perform after she was back from vocal rest and she was just as energetic and great as she was on the DVD. I would venture to say that the 4 days in a row was the reasoning.

This band is probably my favorite act in the mainstream of any genre right now. I’d actually love to hear them do KOL’s “Use Somebody.” Sugarland could actually do a whole album of studio covers and it’d do really well, at least I think so.

I just saw Sugarland last Saturday in Detroit and I was very unimpessed, I’m not sure if it was because they had done four nights of shows, but Jennifer was lacking the energy that she dispalys on the dvd and that she did on the tv special. The dvd is enjoyable though.

I really like their cover of Sex On Fire. I like the original, but Jennifer could probably sing just about anything and make it sound like she was meant to do it.
