Carolyn: If the songs are good why do we need external stories to like them. Also, she has grown up? Isn’t she 40? Shouldn’t she have done that a long time ago? (I didn’t even really notice she was not grown up.)

FYI, Terri left BNA/Sony Nashville.

D’oh. Sorry about that. Honestly, I hadn’t been following her very closely for the last few years until I started writing with her fiddle player ;-).

How many of you have taken the time to read Terri’s comments about each of the songs she wrote on this album?? Perghaps if you had, you might not be so negative. I love the album, it’s the real thing–nothing phony about it. she’s grown up and this al;bum shows it!!

Terri herself said that she was re-recording The One You Love with a more stripped down version and etc, but I don’t think it’s much different…

Anyway, I don’t have a problem with contemporary country, so I think it’s a good album, with a few exceptions.

When she moved from Mercury to BNA, I think we were all just allowed to think there’d be some grand reinvention a la Toby Keith, and I really anticipated it. For that reason, “Dirty Girl” was a disappointment. “In My Next Life” wasn’t bade.

So I lowered the bar, and then … “Gypsy Boots”?! What the hell was that? Radio here in Canada played “If You Want Fire” often enough. I like it. Not enough to get the entire album though.

It seems we’re all victims of our own expectation which, I agree, was (somehow, at some time) promised us (I think) from Terri herself.

I HATED her vocals on “Gypsy Boots.” She sounded like Gretchen Wilson’s screechy range (think “All Jacked Up”) and was about a quarter pitch off even with a LOT of pitch correction. Shame, since besides the cringeworthy Johnny Cash namedrop, it was a solid song.

Matt, I’ve never considered Terri to be “manly” in appearance, but now that you mention it…(lol) The way Terri is built she would make a great “farm wife” on the windswept plains on Alberta, so she’s missed her true calling! I’m disappointed on one can identify that cool vehicle in the “Gypsy Boots” video. I wonder if its a vintage Fiat thingie? Hmm..

So, Matt I’ll actually thank you.

@Rick well thank you for this statement. And not more “manly”, just herself. Just wondering… would he say that about the 6′5 basketball player bouncing all over the court, and in shorts and a tank? One day some people will look at some of these posts and say, they were misinformed or judging too harshly. Terri Clark does what she does because she LOVES playing. I will continue to support, and hear her music and fantastic guitar playing.
