Well, these may not be the absolute worst of the worst but then, this is a list of the most disappointing. Willie’s album was horrendous, Alan’s was a bloated affair and I am sooo tired of the washed up pop stars!

Anything Goes by Randy Houser was a major let down for me. The lead single was one of the best song released to Country radio this year and then the rest of the album is boring, generic crud for the most part.

I could have done without “Shinola” and the covers of “You Drive Me Crazy” and “Tracks Of My Tears”, but I don’t passionately hate any of those songs. I thought the rest of the album was very good. It’s no “The Grass Is Blue” or “White Limozeen” but I think some concessions were made in a futile attempt to get back on the radio.

Brady, the only cheesy song is the cover of “You Drive Me Crazy.” One fun, possible “misstep” shouldn’t make an album ranked as most disappointing either!

SMB, I included “Made of Stone” and “I Will Forever Hate Roses” among my best songs of ‘08 and said as much in the writeup above, but two or three songs don’t save an album.

Dolly? Most disappointing? Give me a break!! Her songs “Cologne” “I Will Forever Hate Roses” and “Made Of Stone” are absolute brilliance and none of them were radio singles. It was a mistake to include her album on this list.

Hey how comes there was no review of Jessica Simpson’s album? I was looking forward to that. :)

Waoh!! Josh Gracin!! No way, I love his album. Sure maybe it wasn’t worth the four year wait, but still, not as awful at the rest of them up here.

Ron, as mentioned in other posts above Allison’s former husband Doyle “Butch” Primm co-wrote most of her songs on her first three studio albums and his contributions were crucial. I don’t think Butch ever got the credit he deserved although Jon Byrd considers Butch one of the best songwriters in Nashville. Butch can be seen acting in some of the Alison Krauss music videos as her love interest. He’s the tall dark haired guy with deep set eyes and a goatee.
