Mindy McCready Album: “I'm Not So Tough”

Mindy McCready never ceases to amaze me. She hand-picked the songs for this album and did an altogether stellar job. The best song on the album is "Take Me Apart," a sassy number. She has touching ballads, such as "Hold Me" and "Dream On," as well as a poppy, "Over and Over," which would have been a huge hit if it had been released to radio. "I'm Not So Tough," "Thunder and Roses," and "Lucky Me" are also among the smart, heart-felt songs that make this album a total success.

I've always loved Mindy, but even I can say that her second CD was lacking.....however, her third one shows that she is on her way again. Though it may not have the awesome lyrics of her first CD, it has tons of emotion. Mindy's voice has diffinently matured. This CD shows her many talents.....almost like a different voice with each song. Songs such as "Thunder and Roses", "Over and Over" and "I'm Not So Tough" will keep the record in your CD player. For any Mindy fan, this CD will remind you of why you feel in love with her the first time.

This cd has been in my car cd player for the longest time. Ihave had this cd since It almost first came out and after buying a lot of modern country music I have to say this is the cd of the year. There is a freshness to the many styles of music she is luckily bestowing on us. Her voice has a refreshing joy to it that is hard to find. I love this cd, but folks it takes time to grow on you. There are many many styles of tunes on this cd and that is the magic to it. Ballads are spectular... Please Mindy dont let whatever slow sales or bad luck you have had stop you from makeing such wonderful music.

I purchased mindy's newest album "I'm not so tough" a few days after it's release, and i cannot seem to get it out of my CD player! This album is her finest work yet. It is clear to see that Mindy Mccready and the talented musicians on this album worked very hard. It's musical content is as strong as it's lyrical content. Some of the great songs on this album are, "I've got a feeling", "Over and Over", "Take me apart", And the well arranged title track " I'm not so tough". You'll have this CD on top of your playlist for months to come. Get it today!

I've been a Mindy McCready fan since her outstanding debut, "Ten Thousand Angels". Her last album, "IF I Don't Stay The Night", was better than this collection by far. Although, both are blatently commercial. This slick collection has no staying power at all. Even jukeboxes will be puking this one up. No lyrics are included, not so strange considering simple simon songs like "Lucky Me". I almost feel guilty giving my honest opinion on this one since I really loved "Ten Thousand Angels". Do yourself a favor save your money or pick up her debut.
