The production places Clark's straight-ahead vocals in the forefront of the mix, keeping the album's focus squarely on her way with a lyric. Terri Clark isn't JUST THE SAME as other modern country singers. She has a distinctive vocal style that marks her as a singular artist whose work will be of interest to both country and rock listeners.
