Lonestar Lonely Grill Contemporary Country Music CD Review

Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Lonely Grill gets. Lonely Grill put simply is one of their best CDs to date.

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.

These days it's a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

If you're a Lonestar fan, or just a fan of Contemporary Country music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Simple As That, track 4 - What About Now, and track 8 - You Don't Know What Love Is

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 12 - Everything's Changed. Great track!
