[SHANIANUTS!]

Sara Evans is missing !?!?!!?!?!?

[aFinn]

Yes, from my list she is missing, for some reason her latest makes me cringe. Don't know the reason.

[SHANIANUTS!]

...I tend to agree although I did buy it and do listen to it...

[aFinn]

:shocked:

...you got any idea what happened? I have been baffled.

[SHANIANUTS!]

Too much background noise/instrumentation - bad producers - bad songs - take your pick

[aFinn]

To me her voice made me cringe, dunno why. :dunno:

[SHANIANUTS!]

Her voice seemed the same as in the past to me...

[aFinn]

Did you get any other country albums this year besides Sara?

[SHANIANUTS!]

Martina and Patty's..........

[cftennisnative3]

Lee Ann Womack - There's More Where That Came From :great::up::up: (the album of the year :cool: )

1. SOME HEARTS - Carrie Underwood
2. TIMELESS - Martina McBride
3. ALL JACKED UP - Gretchen Wilson
4. TIME WELL WASTED - Brad Paisley
5. FIREFLIES - Faith Hill

(I don't think Lee Ann Womack's or Keith Urban's CDs were released in 2005 or they'd be up there.:))

[cftennisnative3]

(I don't think Lee Ann Womack's or Keith Urban's CDs were released in 2005 or they'd be up there.:))

Lee Ann's was released February 8th, 2005 :p.....and Keith's was released sometime in 2004.

I don't have Brad's album surprisingly (I do have all of his other ones: 3)...but need to get the latest one. My sister got it, so I think that's the reason I didn't get it lol.... If I had Brad's, I'm sure it would make the list for me. And also Clint Black's Drinkin' Songs & Other Logic I wanted to get so badly..but wasn't able too.....that would most definitely make my list too.

[nathy20]

i only bought three so my top three are:

1. Martina McBride - Timeless (one of the best Cds i've heard)
2. Carrie Underwood - Some Hearts (i love it)
3. Faith Hill - Fireflies

[twaintrain]

Lee Ann's was released February 8th, 2005 :p.....and Keith's was released sometime in 2004.

Okay, then you can bump Faith Hill off there, lol.:)

[aFinn]

Hanna McEuen - Hanna McEuenI had thought all the time that this was a new female singer, till I looked them up just now and saw it's 2 guys :p
There wasn't a listening party at CMT.com, so don't know what kind of music they make.

They were dropped by the label already, right?



8. "Put the 'O' Back in Country" - Shooter JenningsWhat kind of music is that? What's the name of the first single, I might have heard that... (or not :p)

[JustAPrettyFace]

Shooter does mostly alternative country, but alternative to the point of a bit on the traditional side. First single was "4th of July". He's the son of Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter. :)

[aFinn]

Ah, that song name doesn't ring a bell right now...

I get curious when there is a country album on somebody's list I haven't heard of :p

Thanks for filling me in Sarah :)

[JustAPrettyFace]

No problem, Marika! :)

:funny: :funny: :funny: ....I've had someone on another board who thought it was a solo female artist too :p ....but nope, it's a newer country duo.
Go here (http://www.brooks-dunn.com/iboard/index.php?showtopic=7061) to see a thread I made with more info about them :)

They're both cousins: each sons of different Nitty Gritty Dirt Band members and sons of two twin sisters....that in itself is cool. Their voices are really great....they also play a lot of their own instruments on the record! :D


From what I've heard, Shooter sounds more rock than he is country. I do love his "4th of July" song though...sounds very Eagles-ish :cool:

[JustAPrettyFace]

Only a few songs of Shooter's are more rock, some songs are REALLY country. But I love it all! Alt-Country is "ello, ello, ello, ello vee ee." :p

And never knew that about Hanna-McEuen... or however the heck you spell their name. I like them, though.

[aFinn]

:funny: ....I've had someone on another board who thought it was a solo female artist too :p
They're both cousins: each sons of different Nitty Gritty Dirt Band members and sons of two twin sisters....Glad I am not the only one :funny:

My dad and his brother married my mom and her sister, so I can relate :p

[cftennisnative3]

Glad I am not the only one :funny:

My dad and his brother married my mom and her sister, so I can relate :p

:funny:

that's cool: now you and your female cousin need to start a country music duo :p


Sara, I used to like Shooter more, but I saw his special on CMT, and he was rude towards some of his fans, so I lost interest in him. I do love Waylon's music though ;) :p...

[aFinn]

that's cool: now you and your female cousin need to start a country music duo :pSure. Except that my 2 cousins from that marriage are both boys, and I can't sing at all :p

[cftennisnative3]

Sure. Except that my 2 cousins from that marriage are both boys, and I can't sing at all :p
I was wondering if I would be right or not that there was a female cousin :funny:....

hey, find a girl and a guy and with you, then you guys could be like Sugarland...:p (only kidding of course)...I'd prefer you guys though :]:up:

[aFinn]

Howsabout I'll be manager for my cousins? That would sound a whole lot better than me singing :funny:

[cftennisnative3]

Howsabout I'll be manager for my cousins? That would sound a whole lot better than me singing :funny:
That...and also be the co-producer with Mutt :p:p:p

[aFinn]

:funny: Sure, sure :p What alternate universe was that again we described? :p
