The only difference from you is that I’m looking forward to the McBride/Jackson duet, because their duet on Jackson’s Good Time was one of the best songs on the album. They had great chemistry there.

Ya I did, It’s weird but the one thing that struck me the most was, I forgot how good Faith Hills voice was. Remember back when having a good voice was part of the whole music equation as this site pointed out in the ‘Remember the 90′s people who could actually sing’ feature. Maybe its gotten better with age or feels more at more with this style of music, but that voice made me long for the good ole days when vocal talent prevailed.

Anybody here listened to the full tracks at Pulse already?

I liked all of those previews. I’d be hard-pressed to pick a favorite (acknowledging the fact that I have yet to hear the full versions) but I especially like Lee Ann Womack’s version of “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl” and the Jackson/McBride performance of “Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man.”

That song just suits Alan’s style so well. For one who’s known for singing “Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee…” it’s not a huge stretch to sing “See the alligators a-waitin’ nearby, sooner or later they know I’m gonna try…”

Most of the tracks will need to be heard in their entirety several times to judge, but I think Underwood sounds great, and is actually paying homage to the original with the extra twang she may have added to her recording. She can’t win: “too country” or “too pop.” I also think Jackson and McBride sound very good, as does Loretta herself on “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” Either way, it’s a great idea to honor one of the genre’s most authentic stars ever in this fashion.

I think Paramore’s version of “You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man)” sounds great. I’ve always been a fan of Haley’s voice, but there’s something… more country in the way she phrases on this song, I think, which makes it sound country while still staying very much Paramore.

K– it sounds like Underwood is trying to impersonate Loretta too much, which I think accounts for the awkward sounding performance, I don’t think she made the song much her own in this case (which she typically does with covers).

Something sounds a bit…off…in that Underwood performance to me. She has a natural talent for these types of songs, but her vocals sound almost TOO country here. The natural “country” tone seems very overexagerated or something.

Reba was disappointing, judging from those clips. Faith Hill sounded, surprisingly, the most at home doing a Loretta song. She hasn’t sounded this good in years.

I’ll just say that I really think Reba should be recording music that sounds like what she sung for the tribute album….And I wasn’t too impressed with Underwood’s version of “You’re Looking At Country.” …Sadly. :(

I was also impressed with Paramore’s version of “Woman Enough.”
