Jennifer Nettles - That Girl



Falling” - This song has a tension that appeals to me musically. The vocals can be a bit sharp at times, but overall a very well done song. Score: 7

Me Without You” - A beautiful enough ballad. There is something in the tone of Jennifer's voice that speaks to me. I like the pared down music which allows her voice to soar. Score: 8

Moneyball” - A funky groove showcases Jennifer's funky vocals nicely on this track. I didn't really get into the groove and the lyrics were kind of silly. Filler track. Score: 5

That Girl” - This song is brilliant. A new take on the other woman song. The lyrics are delicious, the music is engaging, and the vocals are saucy and sexy at the same time. Score: 10

This Angel” - Another gorgeous ballad full of emotionally real vocals. Alright Jennifer, we get it – you can sing ballads. Why not try doing something different? Score: 7

Jealousy” - I asked for it and I got it. This track has an R&B feel and I loved every moment. The lyrics are clever and bitchy which are the highlight of the track.      Score: 10

This One's For You” - Well look at you Miss Nettles. Who knew that was all up in you? This track has a soul music vibe that hooked me from the first note. Jennifer's vocals on this one slayed me and qualifies her for Diva status. You go girl. Score: 10

Know You Wanna Know” - This track rocks and rolls. Kick ass music, vocals brimming with attitude and lyrics that speak nothing but the truth. Score: 10

Thank You” - A beautiful love song filled with sappy lyrics. Maybe I am just too much of a cynic, but this one left me indifferent. Score: 5

Good Time To Cry” - The blues vibe on this track rocked me to my core. Jennifer's vocals spoke to me in such a dramatic way. I almost shed a tear – and for me that is something. Score: 10

Like A Rock” - What a brilliant way to end this album. Jennifer takes on Bob's Seeger's legendary classic. Let me tell you – she does an amazing job on this track. She completely makes the song her own and puts a fresh spin on the lyrics. Brilliant – just brilliant. This track is totally DQW. (Drag Queen Worthy) Score: 10

Average Track Score: 8.4 Would I recommend this to my friends? You bet your sweet ass I will.

Escaladers,
Jim
