 Taylor Swift Oct 28, 2009
My daughters really like this cd and I have to say it has some great tunes as well.
Good listening Oct 18, 2009
Well-written songs performed in a style that's enjoyable to listen to. Not quite as good as Fearless, but well worth owning.
 This is a really good CD Sep 18, 2009
I bought this CD after Kanye West grabbed her mic from her during her VMA acceptance because I wanted to show support for her after he was such a jerk. I didn't expect that I'd be much into it because country isn't my primary forte (I'm more into Christian rock stuff), I'm old enough to be her dad, and I figured my kids would probably enjoy it. First of all she has an absolutely great voice. She is exceptionally gifted, whoever that other reviewer is that said she needs singing lessons knows not of what he speaks. The lyrics are very much in the vein of teen romance, but there is nothing wrong with that. To be honest it brought back memories of my high school days. It's much deeper than I expected coming from someone her age. Not because it's uncommon to experience hurt, and rejection at that age, but because it's hard to articulate it while keeping your perspective. Sure there's a few moments where her lyrics seem trite and self serving, but it's far better than most of what I've heard coming from that generation. All things considered I'd highly recommend this CD.

Beauty, brains, and heart Aug 21, 2009
I haven't bought an album in years. Just nothing on the radio seemed worth buying to hear over and over again. Then I hear "Teardrops On My Guitar", and I'm hooked. I investigate a little more online, and find myself liking all of her songs, not just the singles on the radio. She writes and plays all of her songs! This artist has substance. I'm totally captivated by the music videos that are feature film-quality displaying her expressive acting skills. I've never heard such purity and honesty conveyed by a human voice. Finally, an artist who really deserves my money and support! Such intelligent lyrics, and clever turns of phrase, it's poetry of the highest order. And then putting music to the lyrics with great hooks and guitar solos, that's just musical talent. The lesser known songs are just as good, if not even better than the singles! "A Place In This World", "Cold As You", "The Outside" (written when she was 12yo!), "Tied Together With A Smile", "Invisible". "Tim McGraw","Stay Beautiful" and "Mary's Song" just bring tears of joy to my eyes, they're such expressions of pure unselfish, love that they resemble benedictions in the form of songs. Even when she's angry: "Picture To Burn" and "Should've Said No", she's the voice of justice decrying bad behavior, selfishness, the lack of pure love; she's a force of nature you don't want to mess with. As other reviewers have noted, if these songs haven't made you fall in love with Taylor, just read the liner notes on the album. They'll bring more tears to your eyes. Taylor has a tendency to open up hearts that way. <3
