The chance to release “One Way Ticket” as a single has gone and passed now that “See You Again” isn’t going to radio, and I couldn’t be any happier on both counts.

I think “See You Again” is flawless. I love Carrie’s vocals on the song and I love the instrumental on the song. The backing “oh-oh-oh”‘s detract a bit from the song, but I can live with it. Great choice for a release. I don’t really mind the fact that she’s not releasing all Country tunes with this album because, to be honest, the first four tracks — “Good Girl”, “Blown Away”, “Two Black Cadillacs”, and “See You Again” — are all the best four on the album, with maybe “Do You Think About Me” and “Wine After Whiskey” venturing somewhere in between a couple of those. At least they’re releasing quality material this time around, unlike the “Play On” era with releasing “Undo It” and “Mama’s Song”.

Look on the bright side: after “See You Again”, they won’t have anymore pop-leaning songs to release! So I say “Do You Think About Me” will be released 5th.

Yes, I agree that it would be nice to get a more country-sounding release from Carrie. But mostly I’m just hoping that they don’t blow a single slot on “One Way Ticket” – there are far too many better tracks on the album.

Artistically the last two singles were great, but since they aren’t overtly country, I was really expecting something more country. I feared it would be “One Way Ticket” since we are getting to that time of year, but I had a small hope for “Do You Think About Me” or “Leave Love Alone.” I was also hoping for “Wine After Whiskey” at some point but knew a ballad wouldn’t be next. “SYA” is a puzzling choice all around to me.

I’m kind of disappointed about the new Carrie Underwood single choice. “See You Again” is okay, but a bit too movie soundtrack-y for my taste, if that makes sense – not that that’s surprising, considering the song was meant for the Naria soundtrack. I was hoping to see “Do You Think About Me” get a single release at some point (which could still happen if they pull a fifth single from the album), but I guess I still have to give her team credit for releasing “Blown Away” and “Two Black Cadillacs” back to back.

Carrie has now announced her 4th single off BA, and it’s “See You Again.”

Little Big Town announced “Your Side of the Bed” as their next single.

I am so confused. I actually like both songs, particularly the LBT one. But why is Carrie releasing yet another single that isn’t country in any notable way? It’s particularly confusing – and maddening – when great country songs like “Do You Think About Me” and “Leave Love Alone” were available as choices. As for LBT, I just remain completely puzzled as to why “Sober” still isn’t a single.

I’m adding to previous comment. I could go on indefinitely about Carrie, she is so good and there are so many good songs from her albums, and the whole reason I’m at my computer at this ungodly hour is that I now NEED to hear Do You Think About Me many many times a day and right before I go to bed, there’s such a lilt and happy sound to the music and her vocal is so charming and so very sweet that it makes ME “can’t stop smilin’” throughout the song. I’m also writing again because I read DiAnn’s comment and agree with her about the sad fact that What Can I Say and Someday When I Stop Loving You weren’t released as singles, they’re both so lovely. Additionally, it would have been nice to have Carrie’s version of “Remember When” (sung at Grand Ole Opry) on Blown Away. I wouldn’t mind Good in Goodbye or Wine After Whiskey or Thank God For Hometowns as singles either. In general, most of the ballads on Blown Away have a pleasing gentleness to them that allows Carrie’s best vocal qualities, range, and texture to shine through and over the instrumentation (another pleasure on this album, not overproduced, a lot of accoustic). So long till next time.

Toby Keith’s “clancy’s Tavern” had a lot of great songs that got overlooked. Namely the title track, south of you, and I need to hear a country song. Any of those songs could’ve gone to no. 1. I also think that Eli young band should rerecord some of their older stuff. The production was a little rudimentary, but a lot of those songs are superior to their later stuff.

I LOVE your Carrie pick and some reviewer praised it for its loveliness, especially as its accoustic orchestration allows the beauty and magical vocal quality of her voice to shine through. I love basically everything she does. Miranda is of a whole different style, and, I think, is far less gifted as an actual singer. I’ve been searching for a song I heard last week either Zac Brown or Rascal Flatts, that I hadn’t heard before, and it had these great jazz-like progressions (vocally harmonized) after some lines but it wasn’t The Wind. Anybody have suggestions? It was a fairly uptempo song.
