Not sure how she did it, but she did.

I am biased of course, but on my list I had it above all of Yearwood’s albums. 42 is a bit suprising to me because I cant really see any of her albums topping this one from this decade…

I think it’s been overrated in some ways, but I do think it’s one of the decade’s classic albums.

Also, I honestly didn’t realize Fireflies was so revered. I agree it’s a good album, not my favorite from Faith Hill, but a very solid effort. I kinda expected Johnson to get ranked a bit higher as well. Enjoying the reminiscing though.

(The other four were Keith’s Love, Pain and the whole crazy thing, Tift Merritt’s Another Country, Shania’s Up! and Taylor Swift’s Fearless). I was toying with the idea of a decade-end “non-country albums by country artists” list to provide a place to express my affection for them, but enough of them ended up on our list anyway that I decided against it.

But yeah, that’s a great album. I especially love her version of “Sad Eyes,” which far surpasses any other I’ve heard even though her change to the “blue, blue ribbon” line doesn’t make total sense.
