A rocking story song, the track proved a departure for McBride both thematically and musically – with a mix of dobro and fiddles (as well as The Soggy Bottom Boys from “Blessed,” a somewhat self-indulgent optimistic prophecy came next, topping the charts in early 2002. Trace Adkins reminds us he really can sing well on the reflective Natalie Hemby/Troy Jones song ‘Timing Is Everything’. Hillary Lee Lindsey is an American singer-songwriter. Gallimore’s tracks front load the set listing (and provided all three of the singles), with most of the Stegall tracks relegated to the second half of the set. Remniscent of the Pistol Annies, the first half of the song is quite catchy with a bright acoustic arrangement, but Huff and Bright can’t resist the temptation of throwing in weird processing on the backing vocals and too much sound in general, and it all derails. Jo Dee also co-wrote ‘Love On A Maybe’, a busily produced pop-rocker about a potential relationship with a guy paying hot and cold, and the rather boring ‘I’m Free’.‘Strong Shot Of You’, written by Australian country singer-songwriter Sherrie Austin with Clay Mills and Weston Davis is energetic pop-rock-country with over-processed vocals. You feel for the little girl who slipped through the cracks, and it kind of makes you look at your life differently. With neither of the songs overwhelm lyrically, Hale saves the day by injecting the right amounts of personality into her vocal performances. The use of Fairchild and Schlapman on harmony vocals was a brilliant decision, as it helps to make the song more interesting than if the foursome sang together.“Can’t Go Back,” written by Hemby with Kate York and Israeli-born Rosi Golan is another striking ballad and a fine showcase for the band’s signature harmonies, while album closer “Night Owl,” written by the band with Hemby, is a gorgeous reverse of “Leavin’ In Your Eyes” in which Fairchild and Schlapman take the lead while Westbrook and Sweet take the harmonies.

‘Take It’, written by Hillary Lindsey, Brett James and Angelo Petraglia is even more horribly processed and more or less unlistenable. It is my favorite of the single choices from this album with its convincing and mature lyric about a couple married for seven years (when “The woman-on-the-verge-of-leaving whose story is conveyed in ‘Three Mississippi is less successful. Unfortunately the track sounded better back then. She's written over 30 songs Carrie Underwood recorded. I do applaud her for making the kind of music she wanted to, and fans of Jo Dee’s 90s/early 2000s peak should find much to like about this record.By the time “Meanwhile Back At Mama’s” dropped this spring, McGraw needed the course correction the single ultimately gave him.

Sung as a duet by husband and wife Westbrook and Fairchild, “Your Side of the Bed” is a rip-off of Gretchen Wilson’s “I’m also having trouble getting into “Self Made,” which probably has a nice message, but is overtaken by a disastrously cluttered production that’s so bombastic its hard to hear what the group is singing. Hillary’s award-winning “Blue Ain’t Your Color” won NSAI Song of the Year for 2017. Gwyneth rocks out Gretchen Wilson-style in ‘Shake That Thing’ (written by Mark Irwin, Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins), and while this is yelled and tuneless, it should be pretty convincing in the context of the movie. Harding, Melissa Peirce and Andy Dodd. Hale’s moment comes on Tom Douglas, James Slater, and Lindsey’s “Nervous Girls” and she passes with flying colors. ‘You Belong With Me’ was real and engaging, while “Love Story” had the whole Romeo and Juliet motifs going for it: ‘Fearless’ is just less by comparison.This song is catchy and fun, and Swift sings it fine (as well as she can), but I just feel like she has better versions of this song out there. As it is McGraw does well with it, but his vocal lacks a subtly a better song interpreter would’ve brought to it. Gary’s own ‘No Worries’ is bland and boring reggae-lite which sounds like a Kenny Chesney reject, with irritatingly whispery, echoey production. Thanks to a stellar collection of songs tastefully sang and framed, But Schlapman is a revelation on the beautiful “Sober,” easily the album’s standout number. Cherry Pie, incidentally, is the name of Hannah’s real life childhood pony. Hillary Lindsey Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family Hillary Lindsey is an American singer-songwriter.

‘Cry Cry (Til The Sun Shines)’ is well meaning but lyrically vapid. Written by Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey, and Lori McKenna, the mandolin centric track is a sweet ballad about being drunk on love. D&D Beyond

I thought this would mark the beginning of a McBride routinely nominated for Album of the Year trophies and selling out large concert tours.

The mid-tempo ‘Pieces’ (written by Gary with Odie Blackmon and Sarah Burton) isn’t bad but is a bit loud, while ‘One More Time’, written by Gary with Hillary Lindsey and Matt Warren, is inoffensive but boring.Overall, I think this album is a distinct improvement over his last couple of albums, although the quality of the material is not up to his classic work.In 2001 RCA saw fit to take stock of McBride’s career to date, releasing her first comprehensive career retrospective.
