By Ryan R. Eladjoe

I am in the military stationed overseas and we do not have access to country music radio here, but after purchasing Totally Country, I realized how much fantastic music I've missed over the last 2 years. I did not know many of the artists in this collection except for Brooks & Dunn, Travis Tritt and of course Kenny Rogers and Dwight Yoakam. So I had no biases when I popped in the cd and listened, the music speaks for itself:

1. "Only in America" - Brooks & Dunn - Wow what a chorus! This song is every bit as
good as their old stuff. It makes me proud to be serving my county!

2. "She Couldn't Change Me" - Montgomery Gentry - I love this song because it reminds me of my girlfriend.

3. "With Me" - Lonestar - Great song, strong chorus and I love that fiddle, now I'm a Lonestar fan!

4. "Without you" - Dixie Chicks - I always thought the Dixie Chicks were a bit overrated, but this song is simply beautiful.

5. "On a Night Like This" - Trick Pony - Never heard of them. But the singer has a really sexy voice, I'd like to hear more of their stuff.

6. "I Lost it" - Kenny Chesney - My favorite song on this album. What a voice! The best chorus I heard in while.

7. "Angels in Waiting" - Tammy Cochran - Its okay,if this song wasn't on this cd, I wouldn't miss it.

8. "Born to Fly" - Sara Evans - See 7#

9. "Austin" - Blake Shelton - I love this song, I have this thing for story songs.
It makes me want to change my answering machine message!
null "It's a Great Day to be Alive" - Travis Tritt - I'm not a big Travis Tritt fan...what is this song about?

14. "I want you to want me" - Dwight Yoakam - I like it, but the original version was better.

15. "The Little Girl" - John Michael Montomery - If this song doesn't make you cry then there is something wrong with you. Gorgeous song.

16. "Buy Me a Rose" - Kenny Rogers - I'm so impressed, Kenny sounds exactly like he did 30 years ago. Nice advice, for men who don't have any good gift ideas.

17. "There You Are" - Martina McBride - Okay song, I can imagine Celine Dion singing this song...is this country?

Overall this a great cd for someone who is getting into modern country, or who is getting back into it. Highly recommended!
