Carnival Ride by Carrie Underwood

The follow-up to the enormously successful SOME HEARTS, former American Idol winner Carrie Underwood's second album moves away from the Shania Twain-like pop influences of her debut into a purer form of country music that focuses on her remarkable voice. Comparisons to Trisha Yearwood, Reba McEntire,and Faith Hill are valid, especially on songs like the twangy first single "So Small." That song is one of four co-written by Underwood; the remaining three are among the strongest on the album, alongside a heartfelt cover of Randy Travis's "I Told You So" and the wry "The More Boys I Meet." CARNIVAL RIDE is a much more self-assured and personal album than SOME HEARTS, and it's a straightforward slice of contemporary Nashville country at its best.

Pros Carrie Underwood plays the All-American girl very well
Cons She goes to well too often, but it's her style
Recommended it? Yes

At the end of the fourth season of American Idol, Carrie Underwood had my vote. It wasn't that way all season long. I actually disliked her very much. I disliked the goody two shoes image that she portrayed and thought at certain points, she thought she was a little too good for criticism. But by... Read full review »

Pros singing, writing, production
Cons some songs OK, some songs not
Recommended it? Yes

Let me get it straight, it doesn't matter how big the fork lift is or how massive the bucket, I can't carry a tune to save my life. Doesn't mean I don't sing along, but I'd never put anyone out of a job, bottom line. Carrie Underwood, now that gal can sing. And as much as I enjoy her vocal... Read full review »
