The Best Lonestar CD
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I love this CD. The best song on it is Smile. It just speaks to you. Also Every song on te cd is listenable and gets you thinking. With wonderfully written lyrics and vocals. The sound of Lonestar will always be attributed to this CD. It brought them to the big time. Amazed is a great song as well, but I do believe it's one of the great songs on this cd as well as Everythings Changed and Smile."

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Lonestar began as a fairly straight-ahead country band, indebted to pure honky tonk. With their second record, they moved themselves toward pop and, ironically, it didn't pay off in great dividends, even if it spawned a Top 10 single. For their third album, Lonely Grill, they take a middle ground, moving back toward hardcore country while retaining elements of the pop sheen of Crazy Nights. The results aren't always successful, but overall, the album is stronger than its immediate predecessor, largely due to the increased grit. There are still some slow spots and mediocre songs scattered throughout the record, but the strong moments, such as "Amazed" and "I've Gotta Find You," keep the record entertaining and suggest that Lonestar will find a way to fuse their two inclinations into a signature sound.
