Too many people (myself included) heart on the sleeve contemporary
country lacks believability. Too many damn personal pronouns. And those
folks have stolen 70's rock and roll production. Bastards.
But this is just that much unslick that you can tell it is real. I don't
like (contemporary) country, but here I like the heartfelt confessional
lyrics. The background vocals and steel guitars during the first chorus
were brilliant. The drum flam thereafter is unfortunate.
See, I think style is unimportant. In each one there is someone who has
done it right.

My sister loves country music. Her only comment ever about ballads is:
"I really liked the words and I can relate to what they're saying". I
think that possibly, from a CW fan's standpoint, this is the only
criterion.
Tampa Weekly Planet; November 16, 2005
It's a 12-track full-length from JoDell Nauert, the gifted Tarpon
Springs country singer (and songwriter -- she penned five of these
tunes). There's nothing seriously original going on here, but JoDell
tempers a few creeping modern pop-country tendencies -- as on
"Unraveling", "Out of Loneliness" and "Are You Forgetting Someone" --
with a healthy dose of old-school Barbara Mandrell/Linda Rondstadt-doing
"Jambalaya (On The Bayou)" vibe.
"That's The Way Love's Supposed to Be", "Tomboy" and "Should Have Been
You" are standouts, but excepting a couple of too-overwrought ballads
toward the end of the disc, pretty much everything here is way above
average. (www.jodellsmusic.com) *** 1/2
