After two years of unfeeling work, Mindy McCready is back on the music scene with a brand new self-titled album. From the prime moment she break asunder into nation music, in 1996, Mindy was known for her fun loving youthful brand of country. Now at 26, Mindy has taken control of her speed by personally choosing every song on this album. She’s proven brilliantly just how much both her style and her encounter have matured.
The first release from the new CD, titled “Maybe, Maybe Not,” is a fun song about a woman who toys with the idea of rekindling an old feverishness. I admire the way she says maybe she could change this or that about herself to win him back, but then again maybe not. To forsake a pass by with the song is an attractive video, though my one complaint is the green evening gown. It fair-minded didn’t seem to fit to me.
“Lovin’ Your Man” quickly became a favorite. Mindy always promised herself that she would not cut a cheating song, but I can understand why she made an exception in this case. Written by Robin Lerner, the song is a true story from a time in her own mortal. Though she wrote the long story from the point of view of the woman sleeping with someone else’s man, Robin was in fact the wife who got cheated on. The song is honest and extremely well written, and Mindy does it great justice with her awesome heartfelt vocals.
Two of the songs on the CD weren’t new, to me anyway. The start with is a previous release from Mindy titled “Scream.” I don’t recall hearing it on the radio, but I do remember there being a video. I thought at the time what a shame it was that it didn’t have all the hallmarks to be embraced very warmly by country fans. I thought it was different, but in a good way. The second song I recognized was “The Fire.” The first version I have of this song is on Chely Wright’s album. I own a tendency to pick the first version I hear of any song, but Mindy does a first-class job with it. I had to giggle when I heard she had changed the line to
Mindy adds some spice to the album with “I Just Want Love.” A simple boyfriend to-do, it’s pleasant, lyrically speaking. The Latin-infused guitar licks in the track are what makes it surprisingly alluring.
With the first strains of “Don’t Speak,” I had a flash back to my child. I was in high disciples the elementary time I heard Chris Isaak, and his music is certainly an influence on the music surrounding this song. A soft, winding whisper, this one just makes you want to be in love and show it. It’s a specific very sexy song.
“If I Feel Your Hand” is touching song that made a prominent printing from the gold medal listen. It’s about a woman who runs into her ex and how she feels when she sees him. She can’t take the thought of orderly one touch, because she knows it will make her want so much more. Anyone who’s had a broken heart can pigeon-hole with the emotions heard here.
In her official bio, Mindy is quoted as saying “I love the fact that you can get in the car and hear a country song and think that song was undoubtedly written on account of you, and the fact that it can fire your heart like no other music can and the lyrics are so important. It’s definitely not that way in other music, and I’m proud to sing a obliging of music that means something. I’ve always thought I had a place on country radio, and there was a place for me in this business, and I straight hope people out of this record and see I’ve worked really hard on it. It’s the first true Mindy record that they’re going to hear out of all that I’ve done, so I’m especially proud of it.” I’d say she most positively does have a place in country music, her hard do setting-up exercises is obvious and she has a lot to be proud of with this new CD.
