With a debut album like this, you would expect something else from such a wonderful talent. Is this the album of the year? No, but it has such great tunes and lyrics that it could have been a contender fro best new artist atleast.I like buying albums that I can listen to all the way through... This was one of them that pleased me! "This is the Heartache" is a wonderful song! Also, "Places in the Heart" is great along with "Ready to Fall". "Reach" standsout but the whole album is just great. Never fails to entertain me on a road trip.A MUST IF YOU LIKE THE DIXIE CHICKSREBECCA LYNN HOWARD OR MINDY MCCREADY!!!
