Not my thing. I enjoyed some of the musical compositions but the lyrics felt...juvenile? A second album in a row that I'm having a hard time connecting with. While I try not to get.too critical about others' opinions on something as subjective as music, reading some of the critiques (both professional and not) the first thing that came to mind was pretentious hipster music. I think I'm actually more frustrated with reviews of the album than the album itself.

This is a cheat for my first album as I was already a huge Billy Joel fan. :)

Not a fan. The music is so subdued, I don't feel a connection to it. I don't find the lyrics anything special either.

What is like about classical country music is the stories they tell and Dolly Parton is a masterful storyteller. From the innocence and optimism of the title track to the loss of innocence in "If I Lose My Mind" her songs find a way to reach the listeners.

Al Green's vocals are so smooth. Album only had 9 songs and it felt way too short, which is the only negative thing I can say about it.
