is the debut solo effort for singer and songwriter , former frontwoman of the contemporary country trio . Produced by the legendary , the set appears after its initial hit single, about country music's most legendary couple. Written with and , this is exactly what you might expect from pop-country in the 21st century: huge compressed guitars, rock vocals, and some acoustic guitars and pedal steels to make it "country." To be honest, while the song is well crafted, 's production simply melds it in to the morass that is "everything else" in country instead of crowning it with the hooky sheen he seems to have sought. The title track, with its nearly subliminal backing vocals, mandolin, and electric guitar in the intro, fares far better. The tune feels more like country music instead of generic pop, and its lyric content offers an honest portrait of restlessness and wanderlust -- and it's got a killer chorus on the refrain that features on backing vocals. For those who've been listening to guitarist for years, he's the man up front here, but the unbearably compressed roar of his six-string takes away from his trademark sound. Other tracks that are notable here include with its curiously funky backbeat in the verse before exploding like a rocker (it was written with former partner ), and the -penned power ballad narrative Ultimately, while this record succeeds in terms of its songwriting, there is little to distinguish its sound from its countless contemporaries. is a very talented songwriter and a kinetic vocalist who has both the power and the charisma to succeed in Nashville -- otherwise she wouldn't have gotten a chance at a solo career. That said, here's hope that this recording will do well enough and she can choose a hungrier, more imaginative producer next time out. ~ Thom Jurek
