Disco de Terri Clark: “How I Feel”

Descripción (en inglés) :

Personnel: Terri Clark (vocals); John D. Willis (acoustic guitar); J.T. Corenflos, Brent Mason (electric guitar); Dan Dugmore (slide & steel guitars); Sonny Garrish, Paul Franklin (steel guitar); Stuart Duncan (fiddle); John Jarvis (piano); Gary Prim (keyboards); Glenn Worf (bass); Owen Hale (drums); John Wesley Ryles, Stephony Smith, Sunny Russ, Vicki Hampton, Robert Bailey, Alison Krauss (background vocals). <p>Principally recorded at The Castle, Franklin, Tennessee. <p>All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology. <p>While HOW I FEEL finds Clark shaving off some of the rock & roll edges that made her previous recording, JUST THE SAME, stand out from the pack, the attitude expressed on the tunes here is no less forthright. Whether she's making an exclamation of self-reliance on the opener, "I'm Alright," or celebrating the joys of amour on "Now That I Found You," she presents a strong, independent face that is far removed from the fragile broken-hearted waifs who clutter the country charts. Even when confronted with emotional/romantic difficulties, as on the title track and "Everytime I Cry," Clark addresses the problem with directness and forthrightness, seeking solutions instead of crying in her beer. Sure, there are barrels full of great country songs about crying in one's beer, but as this album makes apparent, that's just not Terri Clark's style.

This album is fantastic! Terri Clark can really, really sing. She's marvelous on both slow and fast songs, and she puts a lot of emotion into her songs. You can tell she's singing from her heart and not just reading words from a printed page. My favorite song on the album is Everytime I Cry, which sheds light on the darkened subject of domestic violence and abuse. Other good songs are Now That I Found You, I'm Alright, Unsung Hero, and Easy On The Eyes. The rest of the songs on the album are good, also. I definitely recommend this album to any country music fan. Please add it to your collection today! You'll be glad you did!

Terri Clark's third album HOW I FEEL is my favorite Terri Clark album. The album had many hits, such as the beautiful ballad "Now That I Found You", the uptempo rocker "You're Easy On The Eyes", and other songs like "Every Time I Cry", "Unsung Hero". "Unsung Hero" is a cover of a Tina Arena song, and Terri does it justice, it was a single only in Canada. "Every Time I Cry" has a serious subject matter, about spousal abuse. Terri wrote a number of these songs and they are great. She also manages a great cover of Kim Richey's "I'm Alright", which stands as one of the best on the album. The title track is a nice midtempo country song. The album is very country, unashamed, and that's what's refreshing about it. Around this time Faith and Shania were crossing over, and Terri was keeping it country. Other highlights include "Not Getting Over You", "This Ol Heart", "Till I Get There" and more.

How I Feel is Terri's best album. She expresses so many emotions and feelings, and does it rather tastefully and well. "Now That I Found You" is a beautiful ballad which should be a favorite at weddings and for couples. "I'm Alright" should have been a single, about rebounding from the fall of a relationship. The album is quite country, but its excellent. "Easy On The Eyes" is one of those fun songs people will instantly love and sing along with. "Everytime I Cry" is a honest song about domestic abuse, a definite highlight here. "Getting Even With The Blues", "Not Getting Over You", and "Cure For The Common Heartache" all share similar theme, but both showcase the emotional outpouring of Terri muscially, and emotionally. "This Ol Heart" and "That's Me Not Loving You" are very country, but some of the best material she's done along with most of this album. The album closes nicely with the cover of the Tina Arena hit "Unsung Hero" which was a single in Canada, very inspiring. Terri takes you on an emotional journey with this cd, its her best album and a must have.

"How I Feel" is the third album for this beautiful Country Music artist, and her best by far!! With this CD Terri steps out of the box running ~ showcasing herself as an artist, a vocalist and a songwriter. Each cut is better than the one before. While the album as a whole is true country, it is different from Terri's other two albums. It has a romantic feel to it ~ Listeners will no doubt be able to relate to these songs, The first cut on the CD is "I'm Alright" ~ Which describes this CD and artist exceptionally!
