<p>Deana Carter comes with an impressive country pedigree. Her father, Fred Carter, Jr., was a top-notch session guitarist who penned Ray Price's hit "I Want To Hear It From You" and played with Canadian barnstormer Ronnie Hawkins. His daughter's multi-platinum debut album finds her keeping the family tradition going on 11 tracks (several of which she cowrote) of country heartbreak and redemption. Carter is a technically skilled vocalist, but her voice retains an endearing, girl-next-door quality that draws the listener in.
<p>While several of the songs are about jumping wholeheartedly into romantic relationships, there are a couple of caustic plaints that detail the darker side of love. The standout is the title cut, on which Carter describes a lover whose flame has flickered out. DID I SHAVE MY LEGS FOR THIS? marks Deana Carter as a pop/country artist destined to stand alongside the likes of Shania Twain and Lorrie Morgan as a major figure in modern-day Nashville.

- Best Country Album of 1996
The debut from Deana Carter showcases a woman who has brought some new things to country music, she has a beautiful innocent voice at times, and clever songwriting abilities. "Strawberry Wine" which was intended for Trisha Yearwood to sing, Deana grabbed at the chance. Her debut song and it's pretty much a career song for her, and will forever be remembered. "We Danced Anyway" is a fun, bubbly love song that was another huge hit for Deana. "Before We Ever Heard Goodbye" is a highlight on the album, it tells a story and deals with various aspects of a relationship. All the songs on this album deal with a common theme, they are all stories and comforting for the listener. The songs have a "real" feeling to them, like you feel as though you are a good friend of Deana's listening to her, or that you're looking at a piece of her soul. "I've Loved Enough To Know", "How Do I Get There" and "To The Other Side" are fun songs about being in love, and she shows the lighter sides to things like breaking up and falling in love. Its refreshing to hear such talent, no wonder she has done so well. This was the best country album from 1996, a must have for any country fan. 3 personas de un total de 3 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- Carter Comes Out
Deana's debut album is a good, mainstream country album. Deanna's voice has an accent that works well singing the songs on this album. Songs to mention:
I've Loved Enough to Know - good spunky tune. The singer is dismissing a man who's just gonna be trouble.
We Danced Anyway - nice reminiscing love tune. Good piano parts
If This is Love - fast, toe-tapping song. The singer is enthused about love and being in love
Love Ain't Worth Making - classic "cry in the beer" country tune about a broken heart
Strawberry Wine - tune that got Deanna noticed. It's about losing virginity as a teen to a guy working on the farms and reminiscing back on that experience.
Did I Shave My Legs for This - ironic humor in the title. The singer describes life with a lump of a husband who contributes zilch to the relationship.
To the Other Side - kind of serious, but optimistic at the same time. The singer will resurrect herself and go on after the relationship is over.

- One of the best female country singers
Deana's voice is very country sounding, with a Dolly Parton type of accent to her singing. And not only is she a wonderful singer, but she also co-wrote 6 of the songs on this album. Every song on here is good, from the hit 'Strawberry Wine' to the non-hits. One of the best, if not, the best, female country singers to come out of the 90's. This album has it all too...romantic ballads, tearjerkers and uptempo songs. Recommended! 3 personas de un total de 3 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- Don't we just all love Deana?
This is a great country cd, Deana Carter is very, very talented. My favorite songs would be "We danced anyway" and "That's how you know it's love. This cd is fun, yet contains more slow songs... I give it an A... great record! 2 personas de un total de 2 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:
- I wore this CD out!!
I am actually here to buy a replacement for my old CD that I bought when it was released. I listened to it so much that I wore it out. I'm finally getting around to getting a new one. I love her voice it's just so soothing and great. |
