I was nearly run out of here for disliking the new David Gilmour album and now I'm really pushing my luck.
Anyone else hear or buy the Carrie Underwood, Some Hearts? I have never watched American Idol which again puts me in the minority but after hearing, and seeing, Carrie Underwood, I sort of regret it. Her album is categorized as Country but it's one of the most solid or consistent Country albums I've heard in some time. This album is full of strong Country/Pop songs and the ones that aren't so strong still are very enjoyable due to her powerful and emotional singing style. A small percentage of my collection is Country, and, part of the reason is Country is like most Top 40 albums, you get one, maybe 2 good songs and the rest suck. So I was pleasantly surprised with this Underwood album when I was able to listan all the way through and enjoy each song. The title track actually is not Country and I suspect it will cross over. I heard it just Friday on a station that calls itself "The Mix". It seems that many so called Country artists are having songs cross over to the Adult Contemporary charts because not much Country is Country anymore.
The production and sound quality is just average, like a typical Pop album. Or, I guess average is probably pretty good for a Pop album. Although I've heard some recent R&B albums which were surprisingly very good.
So those of you who also have red neck roots or just open minded to some good fun Pop songs may want to give this a listen.
