I'm moderating my Fear Factor, given that there have been some pretty lousy country records on here in the last while, so I hope this one might be one of the good ones but I ain't taking any chances. Starting on a banjo is always a good way to get going in the right direction, however. I do hear touches of country pop here, but I'm not going to dismiss her right away. We'll see how this goes. Yeah I think this is more country pop than straight country. Title track is good, “Think Outside the Boy” similarly, “Next Boyfriend” is pretty terrible though. “Same Day Different Bottle” is nice, quite mature and well written, but overall this is not really the kind of country I want to be listening to. A little too fluffy for my tastes.
