Initially, "Send It On Down" strikes me as the highlight, but there's not a weak link on here. It's really hard playing favorites with this album, but I think I've come to the same conclusion that "Send It on Down" is the best track on it. The opening lyrics alone are chilling and the vocals on the entire song are just absolute masterclass. I know radio isn't going to bother with anything on the record, but I also hope they release another single or two just for the hell of it, especially if they do music videos.  I hope they release a couple more singles, too. Maybe they should really focus on secondary markets like Jo Dee Messina has been doing. |

I hope they release a couple more singles, too. Maybe they should really focus on secondary markets like Jo Dee Messina has been doing. Nash Icons stations have been playing the first single, but there simply isn't a chart to track the airplay from those stations (yet), because they don't play enough current music (that's the whole idea of NI--it's more Gold-based). If the Nash Icons brand continues to grow, I think Billboard will create some sort of chart to track airplay there, even if many of the titles are long recurrent. They have charts for secondary country radio and for Texas country stations, so I think they could do one for Nash Icons, especially if the format starts to fragment more or less. From what I can tell, if the airplay from Nash Icons still counted on the main Billboard chart, Lee Ann would probably be somewhere in the mid 50's right now. But a couple of the bigger Cumulus stations that flipped to Nash Icons were removed from the BB panel (again, not enough current music is why). |

I hope that Billboard creates a chart soon where Nash Icons stations can count. That way, Lee Ann, Jo Dee, etc. could still have 'hits' in some form or another. The Texas chart comparison is a very good one, I think.

A little late to the party, but great album. Nothing even close to a lame track. After one listen, my favorites are probably "All His Saints," "The Way I'm Livin'", "Send It On Down," Not Forgotten You", and "Tomorrow Night in Baltimore", but really, all of them are great.

I just bought this as a Christmas gift for my father. He's only a casual radio listener so if radio isn't playing it he hasn't heard it. He does appreciate good quality country music though and I know he will love this album. :)

So this is actually the only album this year I've bought twice. The last album I got for him at Christmas was Four The Record by Miranda. His favorite song on that album was "Nobody's Fool". |

The only album that I bought twice this year was "Platinum" (for me in June and then my mom for Christmas). |
