This is okay.... not exactly what I was expecting from her.

Well, great vocals on Heidi's part (I'd expect nothing else), but the lyrics are...well, just plain bad. Word-playing song titles is a slippery slope. If you do it well, it's clever and distinguishes the song (Chris Cagle's My Life's Been A Country Song does a good job at it IMO), but it's a very fine line, do it poorly and it can ruin a song. I believe that latter is true of this song. It sounded like the writers were trying WAY too hard to be clever, and for me they didn't accomplish their mission.

I love the way her voice sounds on this. I actually heard this on the radio today. The song itself isn't great, but I can see it growing on all of us. It has a very fresh sound to it.

I agree that this is a fresh sound. It's kind of like a less obvious "Tim McGraw" (only better, haha). I, for one, like this alot.

This song has about as much to do with Johnny and June as Jason Aldean's "Johnny Cash". She's a great vocalist and this tune is no exception, but being a huge Johnny Cash fan, the song leaves me cold. I stumbled onto one on iTunes that's done right: phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=130970620&s=143441 |

Hot Shot Debut!!! That is great for Heidi. I like her voice so much better on this track than I did when she led Trick Pony...

Nice debut at #46. I'm sure that Curb will do absolutely nothing to push it into the Top 40.

I absolutely LOVE this song. But then, I knew I would. Heidi has one of THE best voices in country music, by far.
I'm really glad it's off to a good start and I REALLY hope it doesn't end here like it seems to with most new artists. The only thing I wonder, does country radio consider Heidi a "new" singer? Or are they going to play her because she's "established" and has previously had success, which doesn't always mean anything?

Trick Pony's been off the radar for a couple years, so I imagine they'd treat her as a n00b. |

I'd imagine many stations who love her/Trick Pony will give it a listen or some early spins based on it being her alone and then the song's quality will be what pushes it higher on the charts, if it gets there. |

i think its cute...doesn't exactly talk about their lives, but it mentions their feelings...i think this does a better job at relating the person to the song than i've heard before (better than 'tim mcgraw'-which i do love, btw-, 'johnny cash', 'kristofferson', etc)...

I love this song. When I saw the title I was a little turned off, but her voice sounds wonderful.

I have to say that this song was obviously not written to be a "tribute" to Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. Those of you that expected that should appreciate Heidi's song for what it is - a well-done love song.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I was lucky enough to recieve an advanced copy of her self-titled debut album last week. IT IS AWESOME. I think all of you will be very pleased. There are defiantely several more great singles on it. My two favorites right now are a song called "Cry Cry" and her cover of Lucinda Williams' "I Can't Let Go."

I hope the video starts airing on cmt soon! And i also want to hear that cd, when does it come out again? I just found out Heidi will be performing at one of the only nearby country festivals in my state, and I want to hear more from her to see if its worth it (John michael montgomery, carolina rain and jason aldean are also on the bill)...
