Faith Hill Cry Contemporary Country Music CD Review

The super talented Contemporary Country artist Faith Hill has
released her most recent CD on the Warner Bros. Records
recording label, entitled Cry.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop
in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track
is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start
to finish.

Contemporary Country music fans will recognize some of the well
known contributors on the project including Marti Frederiksen
and Damon Johnson plus a few other notables as well.

Cry is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for
everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It's quite simply
great listening. A must buy for the Contemporary Country fan.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are
track 4 - When The Lights Go Down, track 8 - If You're Gonna Fly
Away, and track 10 - If This Is The End

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On
REpeat"] is track 14 - You're Still Here. Wow!
