I like all kinds of music and this cd is very good.Taylor swift is very talented and has a great future in all types of music ie, country, pop,top 40 or whatever direction she wants to go in.
Taylor is a good song writer and singer. I like the way she tells a story. Keeps it simple like a country song but is appealing to a broader spectrum.
I got this quickly and without problems. I was able to wrap it and give it to my best friend for Christmas, so thanks for not procrastinating on mailing it. :)
I have 5 year old twin nieces and they are very happy with Aunties purchase. I also enjoy this CD. They can sing along with several of the songs. It makes traveling much easier. I was very happy with how soon it arrived after I placed my order. Excellent condition.
But don't get me wrong, each of these tunes are extremely catchy. But, after hearing some of the songs from her Fearless album on the radio and really liking them, I took the gamble and bought this album and Fearless. Each of them are from real experiences in her life and it shows. This girl has a real gift for putting powerful emotions into beautiful words and turning it into a catchy tune.
But she shows real literary and musical genius in being able to tell us these stories of her life in a way which causes us to be right there with her as she lived it and to feel it ourselves. EVERY SONG on this album is a jewel. The music is lightly produced, which is perfect because it gives more emphasis to her singing. Ask anybody that knows me, I'm not a country music fan. Her debut album is like a good book that I hope never ends. She wrote/co-wrote each song.
She sings of love, longing, vulnerability, heartbreak and loneliness--things that we can all identify with at some time in our life. She's certainly not the first to sing about those feelings.
This isn't pop candy. Now I haven't even started listening to Fearless because I can't stop listening to this album.
Furthermore, all of her songs, even the saddest ones, come from a position of confidence and optimism that remind us that it's OK to be sad when you don't get the person you want every time, when you are different and don't fit-in, and when someone has hurt you. I never realized how good a little twang and a banjo could sound.
But the real gem here is the lyrics. In summary, Taylor Swift has made me remember how good music can be.
Each song deserves to be savored, and if you are anything like me, you won't be able to stop listening and singing along to the songs on this album for a long time.
