There is no doubt about it, Sugarland is breathing life into country music- and it surely needed it!! With relatable lyrics, great instrument play and the mesmarizing voice of Jennifer Nettles; Twice the Speed of Life is a hit for Sugarland.Like many first CDs, I wouldn't say this is their best, already having bought Enjoy the Ride I have something to compare it to. But, this CD was a great addition to my collection and one I've been enjoying listening to. Sugarland seems to be a mix between mainstream country, yet at times reminds me of the "old school" country. It's a fine balance and they seem to have found it, as they have become quite the popular hit. Some of my favorite songs are: Baby Girl, Something More, Hello, Tennessee, Fly Away, Time, Time, Time and Stand Back Up.I'd definitely recommend Sugarland to a country fan. I think that they've found a nice mix of songs for this CD- fast paced, slow crooning songs, catchy beats...and each song highlights both the voice as well as the instruments. Amen, this is what country music needed, a band to breath some new life into it- I for one appreciate it!
