Not immediatly turn the dial? Possibly buy a album?

Surprised Some Hearts is ranked so high. Oh well, it was a solid debut from Underwood anyways.

I just felt it was an album of songs, not an ALBUM, per say. You know what I’m talking about?

I have not heard the Ashley Monroe album (except for two tracks on promo CDs) so she really wasn’t on my radar (until a few months ago I hadn’t downloaded at all, and I still think that a list of this sort should be comprised of albums available in some sort of physical form). That said, Ms Monroe has talent and her music should be more generally available

I would have rated both Sleepless Nights and Little Sparrow much higher and the Ashley Monroe album slightly higher. Overall, this is mostly a good collection of albums in this installment.

Patty Loveless, Sleepless Nights

The last decade has seen numerous well executed traditional covers albums, but none of higher quality than Patty Loveless’ tribute to tradition, Sleepless Nights. Loveless culls songs from various places, including compositions mostly previously attributed to male singers, to create an album that solidly stands as a cohesive unit. Due to Loveless’ naturally distinctive twang and her producer husband’s (Emory Gordy, Jr.) tasteful arrangements (prominent bass, light percussion and steel guitar), Sleepless Nights does well at staying authentic while still sounding progressive enough to warrant yet another covers project. – LW

Recommended Tracks: “Pain of Loving You”, “Sleepless Nights”, “Cold Cold Heart”
”

VERY well stated and perfectly encapsulated, Leeann. My standout recommended tracks would have differed a little and would have included “Crazy Arms”, “Why Baby Why” and the “Pain of Loving You”.

SN should have ranked higher, but the planel has spoken.

I thought it would be in the top 10 and at worst top 20. My favorite track is “Blank Sheet of Paper” by the Warren Brothers and Don Schlitz.
