It is jazz.

I thought she sounded a little like Tina Turner in some of the songs.

I have seen her at the Grand Ole Opry a few times and I live here in Nashville, Tennessee.

I think this album is wonderful.  I myself do agree that it is not totally country.  I do think however that those of you who are yelling that she is not country, are partly correct.  I also feel that you are partly wrong.  Country music is expanding, and Shania is just helping.  I think that you  should get a new opinion of country music, and see it as it is now.  Try  listening to it again.  I do think it is a more pop style album.  Maybe,  she's trying to cross over and maybe she's not.  I am going to remain a  loyal fan whether or not she crosses over.  I think the rest of you should  see her as an artist not just someone who records but see what she is  doing.

I love with a capital L this CD. This is because I have a serious split personality when it comes to music. If you strictly like country -- whether it's traditional country or bro/pop country -- you might not like this. But if you think all genres -- even spoken word, even rap -- have their place, this is worth a listen. Sam Hunt's singing voice is soulful; his spoken voice has a nice, soft twang. He's different. Don't expect "true" country, whatever that is anymore, but also don't compare him to FGL. Sam Hunt is different and talented and those two characteristics combine on this CD.

I Love him ! Not only the music. For me it is not Country it is Rock in Bryan Adams style.

I loved it. It's a little too "in your face" but not over the top either, still tasteful enough.

I liked it. It had an interesting literary style, and the genre is outside my normal reading. I thought it was everything it tried to be, and really conveyed the emotions of the characters quite well. Certainly not my favourite book ever, but quite good nonetheless.

It appears I am not a country girl, so it was ok to me, but my husband and a girlfriend loved it - brought back memories
of their childhoods and they both have kept a copy!

I love it. Easy to read and enjoyable. Sometimes I was forgeting that it was a real life story. At moments it sounded more like fiction. And it reminded me of India I've been to.  BIG THX

To me, it's a total JAM!!! That's just me though!!! It's the newer country sound. Not the OLD GREATS but absolutely GREAT!!

I really didn't think I'd like this because it takes place in America, however, I was surprised.  I actually got into it as much if not more than her traditional English based stories.  An excellent read.

It was very ok. There were a lot of things that didn't make sense to me. The emotional stuff wasn't proportionate to what was happening at the time. The thing I did enjoy tho, was the way they described what they were cooking. That was beautiful and made you want to cook something. Still, there are a lot of other books out there...

Not quite what I expected.
I don't love country music, but do like certain artists. These two, yes.
Interesting. Some of the music seems to be songs that were recorded by others, and maybe written by them.

I read a Japanese country music critic mention Teea and this album
in his column. I bought it,listened to it and loved it,because it
is traditional country I love,which almost all the major labels in Nashville ignore these days. If you ask me,such big names as Taylor Swift,Carrie Underwood,Miranda Lambert who monopolize Nashville are
no country,no matter how many cds they sell and no matter how often
they are heard on the'country' radio. Country is not country if it is not "too country". If you are not satisfied with what's been going on
in Nashville for the last twenty years or so,I recommend that you give this girl a listen. You'll see how Teea has brought traditional country back. And I do hope she stays traditional because she is the real deal.
