Lonestar Album: “Coming Home”
 Description :
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).
<p>Recording information: 2005.
<p>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's greatest album!!!
Lonestar, coming home, is one of their greatest albums! The greatest songs on the album are: "You're Like Comin' Home", and "What's Wrong With That". I have always been a Lonestar fan, and I always collect their newest albums through the years. Lonestar's band and voices's were incredibly great on this album! Once again they had another sucsessful CD! So if you're looking for a great CD, buy Lonestar, Coming Home! 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:
- Coming Home IS Like Coming Home
I always enjoy Lonestar with their down-home morals and uplifting songs. I've never missed a concert whenever they are within driving distance.
Just watching them, one can see how much they enjoy thier work. Listening to them, one can tell how much they love their families. Where else can you find that combination, in such a dynamic group?
This Cd is the best ever. Delivering, once again, the very best of Lonestar!
They are a group for All ages, which is evident when you see the crowds at their concerts.
Lonestar is what True Entertainers are all about.
Not since Neil Diamond started have we seen a group This Good!
- Typical Lonestar
It's not that this is a "bad" project by itself. It is actually better than their last 2 projects. I just find that "Lonely Grill" is the standard Lonestar has to hold themselves up to, and once again it was not met. There are of course the romantic ballads, but nothing as well done as "Amazed". It strikes me as strange that the first 2 singles off this CD were originally songs done by Emerson Drive (on their "What If" CD). In my opinion, Lonestar does not measure up on these songs. They just kind of drag in comparison to the fire and passion Emerson Drive put into it. But I suppose if you haven't heard the previoius versions these songs would be capable of standing on their own, since they both are good songs in their own right. I wish Lonestar better luck on their next CD. Atara (USA) - September 17, 2005

- Most uplifiting CD as a whole in a while
Lonestar has decided to truly celebrate being family men in this new offering. This is my first Lonestar purchase. I absolutely love it. The production is true to the polished, slick, organized, Lonestar sound. The theme of the CD really IS "coming home". Hear about loving little towns, meeting the love of your life over only "two bottles of beer" (yours and mine, being a man who just loves his woman (several of those), and a nice shout-out to those us of sick of the "noise" now-a-days. And there is the "On my front porch looking in" song on this CD called "What's wrong with that?" Enjoy some family friendly, marriage can be hot, my man loves me and comes home to me every night music courtesy of Lonestar. What a welome release. |
