Whoa! The Pickler song is good… and country. I’m officially intrigued.
That Kellie song had a definite Lee Ann Womack vibe to it. I like!
I think the Pickler album is really gonna surprise a lot of people. Unfortunately, album sales aren’t looking good without a radio hit.
I like what Kellie Pickler is doing here. So much better than the singles from her first two albums. Also, her image for years was one of a dumb blonde, and I found that obnoxious and annoying, not cute. Women shouldn’t dumb themselves down like that. Anyway, I think Pickler had better find success at radio fast; she probably only has one or two more shots. I’d like to see her get a hit !
