Sugarland Album: “Enjoy the Ride”
 Description :
Sugarland: Jennifer Nettles (vocals, acoustic guitar); Kristian Bush (various instruments, background vocals).
<p>Recording information: OceanWay, Nashville, Tennessee.
<p>With the departure of founding member Kristen Hall, Sugarland slimmed down to a duo. Losing one-third of the formula that made their debut a country/pop crossover smash might seem a daunting proposition, but ENJOY THE RIDE finds remaining members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush not only surviving but thriving. Nettles's brassy belting has more sass and sex appeal than ever, and the in-your-face attitude on many of the pair's songs is even more brash and boundary-pushing than the most full-throttle moments on 2004's TWICE THE SPEED OF LIFE. While the uptempo tracks indicate that Sugarland has been paying attention to the Gretchen Wilson/Big & Rich camp, they're handily offset by more reflective balladic moments, making this a well-balanced RIDE.

- Great from start to finish!
I found that I liked Sugarland's sophmore CD even better than their debut CD.
I bought their first CD when I heard the single "Believe". I love that song. I enjoyed the CD, but "Baby Girl" and "Something More" were both so overplayed on the radio, I found that the only other song I liked on the CD was "Believe".
Anyway...due to that, I wasn't exactly holding my breath for their next CD...until I heard the single "Want To". I went out and bought the CD and I love it!
I always have a little more respect for artists that write their own music, I connect more to it I guess. I think they did a heck of a job with their writing...especially after losing a key member of the group.
This CD just about has it all...county, rock, acoustic. It's got love songs, feel good songs, small town songs and sad ballads.
Go out and get this one. It's worth it.

- I Did Enjoy The Ride!
The First time I heard "Baby Girl" I couldn't wait to hear it again, and that was how I felt when the first single "Want to" dropped from this new cd. However, there was plenty more of great songs where that came from and it's not always easy to Love songs on first listen but like "baby girl" this cd had plenty of them. "Settlin" and "Happy Endings" are two standouts as well. A wonderful 2nd ride with sugarland. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:
- terrific CD
I bought the CD for one song only that I had seen performed on an awards show but the whole CD is great. I personally cannot stand country music, but this reminds me a little of Melissa Etheridge. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:
- Excellent CD
This new CD from Sugarland is a very good CD and has a lot of stand out songs on it. Want To is one of the most beautiful songs that I have heard in a long time. I love their new single Settlin'. This song is very up beat. I do enjoy the ride that Sugarland has given their fans so far. Quite ironic about the title isn't it. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Sugarland did a great follow-up to their last cd. I think this cd may even be better than their last work. |
