(1 Customer Review)
Although the members of Lonestar on the cover of COMING HOME look like average suburban jeans-and-t-shirt guys, the band's sound remains firmly rooted in country. Sure, the group does lean towards a pop/rock sound at times, but the plaintive vocals of Richie McDonald and occasional fiddle and pedal-steel lines keep things in rural territory. Whether McDonald is singing about women, beer, or home, his everyday charm carries this enjoyable 2005 album.
Lonestar: Richie McDonald (vocals); Michael Britt (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bouzouki); Dean Sams (piano, Clavinet, Hammond b-3 organ, synthesizer, background vocals); Keech Rainwater (drums, percussion).
Recording information: 2005.

Coming Home
$7.67 With a number of multi-platinum albums under its collective belt, country group Lonestar has succeeded where others have failed by combining the usual sparkling production values and top-notch songwriting craft of Nashville's best with down-home directness and bluegrass-influenced vocal harmonies. LET'S BE US AGAIN represents one of the ensemble's most mature and personal efforts. All but one of the tunes here were written or co-written by group members, and that undoubtedly contributes to the added dose of sincerity with which Lonestar imbues the performances. Led by lead vocalist Richie McDonald, the quartet celebrates the simple things, from the detailed description of a small-town ...
| | Faith Hill Fireflies CD (2005)
Coming Home
$14.29 Coming after the relative commercial disappointment of 2002's pop-oriented CRY--and, not at all coincidentally, Gretchen Wilson's rise as the new Everygirl of country--Faith Hill's FIREFLIES is a blatant attempt to ditch the singer's glamourpuss image and reassert her country roots, such things having become fashionable again. This isn't a problem, however: Shania Twain-like chart pop wasn't Hill's forte, and FIREFLIES brings her back where she belongs.
The first single, "Mississippi Girl," is Hill's best song in years. A Dixie Chicks-like piece of sweet country-pop with a few bluegrass trimmings, the tune was written by country hitmaker John Rich. Rich also penned some of the other standouts here, like the laid-back "Sunshine and Summertime" and "Like We Never Loved At All," a dramatic, '70s-style duet between Hill and her husband Tim McGraw. Three other songs are from the catalogue of alt-country singer/songwriter Lori McKenna, taking Hill into a folkish vein similar to Mary-Chapin Carpenter. The overall lack of bombast suits Hill's girl-next-door delivery perfectly, making FIREFLIES a much-needed artistic comeback after a dubious detour.
Personnel: Jay Joyce, Bryan Sutton (acoustic guitar); Kenny Greenberg, Tom Bukovac, Byron Gallimore ...
| | Brad Paisley Time Well Wasted CD (2005)
Coming Home
$9.89 Brad Paisley's music is an interesting amalgam of country sub-genres, a paradigm all its own. He melds straightforward, pop-friendly New Country with clever, somewhat Lyle Lovett-like songwriting and the occasional flutter of Joe Maphis/Jimmy Bryant-style guitar virtuosity. Surprisingly or not, this country combo platter made Paisley a star, and TIME WELL WASTED continues in the aforementioned vein. While there are some fairly mainstream moments here that wouldn't ruffle the feathers of, say, the average Kenny Chesney fan, WASTED boasts plenty of smart, sassy tunes brimming with lyrical witticisms worthy of Tom T. Hall or Shel Silverstein. "Alcohol," for example, is a first-person narrative from the beverage's point of view, and in retrospect it's shocking that it took this long to get written. Guest shots from both Dolly Parton and Alan Jackson show that Paisley's work has earned respect from disparate corners of the country scene, a respect that's amply justified by TIME WELL WASTED.
Personnel: Brad Paisley (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, 12-string guitar, Ferrington ...
| | Sara Evans Real Fine Place CD (2005)
Coming Home
$8.99 On 2005's REAL FINE PLACE, country singer Sara Evans kicks things off with the twangy, upbeat "Coalmine," an allusion (intentionally or not) to the great Loretta Lynn. Rather than being a coalminer's daughter, however, Evans is a coalminer's girlfriend, offering a playful update of a classic country theme. Although Evans shows an allegiance to her rural roots, she's also unapologetically taken with pop/rock arrangements, as on the uplifting "Real Fine Place to Start," the soaring "New Hometown," and the nostalgic "Roll Me Back in Time" (penned ...
