No stopping her

With each new cd Leann continues to grow and branch out as an artist. Family sees her writing almost all of the songs on the cd and does so quite well. Along with a couple nice duets at the end of the cd as bonus tracks. She really brings it in on the Family and covers a wide range of topics on the cd. Her voice has always been strong but she doesnt even have to take it there on the songs here. She sings with a passion and a fire that most folks only wish they could possess but she never overuses it or tries to man handle each track. Its just an excellent cd in a nice line of releases by a talent singer & writer. I hope she continues to be in this for the long haul...it wouldnt be the same without my girl.

Simply Wonderful.

Some great songs here

What makes this album special is that LeAnn wrote pretty much all of it herself. She's growing to become a better artist than where she started out which was just a singer who sings other people's songs. So for that, I give her credit. There's still some growing to be done but this is a pretty solid album. I'll break down the songs:

Family (C+)
Not one of the stronger songs on the album.

Nothin' Better To Do (B)
One of the problems with this song is that it's so hard to understand. You want to sing along to it, but you can't really tell what the words are due to LeAnn's poor enunciation.

Fight (C)
Good Friend And A Glass OF Wine (C-)
Something I Can Feel (C)
There really isn't anything wrong with these songs. There just doesn't seem to be any purpose to them. They seem like the last songs she wrote for the album. She wrote the important songs to her first, and then needed 3 more to fill an album so she just slapped any old thing together. That's what it sounds like anyway.

I Want You With Me (B+)
This song was included with the charity LeAnn was involved in to support the troops. I don't know if that was the intention of the song when it was first written, but now the song has a special meaning and it's touching to listen to every time because of it.

Doesn't Everybody (A+)
One of the brilliant songs on the album. LeAnn takes on life observations, including tabloid celebrities, and questions whether or not we're all the same or if people are just missing out on what is really important in life.

Nothing Wrong (A+)
Another brilliant song. Marc Broussard's scratchy voice fits perfectly with LeAnn's pipes. This is one of the best duets she's ever done. It's loose and fun. One to sing along to in the car.

Pretty Things (A)
An unexpected and interesting song on the album. LeAnn singing about the superficial things in life. Beautiful vocals and with each listen you discover the deeper meaning of the song.

Upper hand (B)
A cool rock song but compared to others on the album it seems a little flat.

One Day Too Long (A+++)
FANTASTIC!!! That's all I have to say for this song

What I Can Not Change (A-)
Beautiful vocals and arrangement. What takes away from this song is that she's sung it on two prior albums. Not the song, but the subject matter. I hate to break it to LeAnn, but her life could be a lot worse than it is. She should sing a song about all the things she's grateful for instead of how she has family and stress problems all the time.

Til We Ain't Strangers Anymore (B)
I was expecting more out of a Bon Jovi song.

When You Love Someone Like (A)
I love this song. Reba and LeAnn sound amazing together. And it's one of the best songs on Reba's duets album too. Thankfully, Reba didn't hog the song like she did through most of her album.
