HMV Review

The formula seems foolproof: Take a country-leaning, photogenic 'American Idol' winner, team her with A-list Music Row producers, secure a few Diane Warren songs and an instant country diva is born. Underwood is more than up to the challenge, nailing slow-burn country midtempos like 'Wasted' and 'The Night Before (Life Goes On)' with personality and serious vocal chops.

The single 'Jesus, Take the Wheel' is a gentle showcase of her vocal power, and she transcends the faux-rock material on Warren's 'Lessons Learned' and 'Some Hearts.'

Underwood shows a bluesy edge on 'Before He Cheats' and 'We're Young and Beautiful,' and wails impressively on piano-based ballads like 'Starts With Goodbye.' She may have a nice platform to kick off her career, but ultimately Underwood will be a star because of her own considerable talents. - Billboard

    とにかく、本当に、滅茶苦茶、幸せな気持ちにさせてくれる、最上の一枚である。14曲の全てが個性を遺憾無く発揮していて、活き活きしている。Carrieくらいの年齢の女性の視点からみた人生の喜怒哀楽が、音楽を通して、余すところなく表現されている(と思う)。聴き始めの頃は、Bonnie Raittの「Give It Up」あたりが彷彿としたが、ブルース色を出さずにあくまでポップスを基調としたことで、彼女の歌唱力が存分に生かされた(と思う)。音楽が好きなら必ず本作を聴いて欲しいな…つづく

    pop・countryからしばらく離れていた頃がありました。オールドタイムや南部サウンド、とにかく泥臭い音楽を好んで聴いてました。普通のcountryでもグレッチェンとかチックスなんかが好きで。それより前はシャナイア、フェイス、リアン。でも手放し、いくつかは再入手しました。とくにリアンの初期、セルフタイトルはお気に入りです。で、キャリーも興味がわき入手しましたが、アイドル離れした実力に強くうなずいています。元々countryの歌手は上手な人が多いですが、この人の声は、体の奥から力が込み上げて来るような、生命力溢れる声だと感じ、瞼に緑溢れる田園風景が浮かんできます。ゆったりした曲も元気な曲も、てらいなく歌うキャリーの心意気が感じられる名盤です。
