Cons: The lyrics are enough to draw you in, but Carroll's vocals that more often than not I found myself comparing to Chris Young and Lonestar are what will keep you listening.
CARROLL, JASON MICHAEL
Waitin' In The Country
Arista Nashville
When an artist puts out a deep, meaningful song that catches on with people for so many different reasons like Jason Michael Carroll has with "Alyssa Lies," I always wonder if they will be able to follow it up. Then I heard the next single from Carroll, "Living Our Love Song" and any doubt that I may have had quickly vanished and the rest of the album pounded in the nail that Jason Michael Carroll may just be the next major star of country music. Granted, "Alyssa Lies" is a great song, but the album around it shows a whole side that you may not realize exists. There are some light-hearted, fun, upbeat songs on here like "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead," Anywhere USA" etc ...

Pro Reviews: Waitin' in the Country
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews On the cover of his 2007 debut, Waitin' in the Country, Jason Michael Carroll certainly looks like a hunk and not just a country hunk, either; he looks like Samantha's main man Smith during the waning days of Sex the City, which means he's marketable not just to the country audience but perhaps to the crossover audience as well. So, he looks the part of a country idol and, with his warm, rounded baritone, he sounds like one too, a pictureperfect definition of what a modern country singer should be, so it should come as no surprise that Waitin' in the Country also sounds perfectly tailored toward country conventions in the mid2000s. Carroll never shies away from cliché on this album he feels at home in the country, will sleep when he's dead, has "Honky Tonk Friends," lives in "Anywhere USA," and finds "No Good in Goodbye" and the music is a blend of familiar arena rock riffs and new traditionalist swagger, tempered by more than its fair share of treacly sentiment on the ballads. But if Waitin' in the Country never defies convention, it never does it badly, either. Sure, some of it can be silly whether it's the prefabricated rowdy shoutalongs on the chorus of "Honky Tonk Friends" or the line "The people trust the steeple/And the steeple don't lie" on the title track but Carroll comes across as a likeable, ingratiating guy next door: he may look like a model, but there's an ordinariness in his voice that's endearing. It also suits his friendly, ordinary country and helps make Waitin' in the Country an enjoyable first album despite its occasional lapses into saccharine pop and a slight lack of truly memorable material. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: Songs, Voice, Band
Cons: Zero
This CD absolutely Rocks...but with a country twist! There are fast paced and slow songs for whatever mood you're in. Jason and the band did excellent on their first album and there are tons of fans waiting for the 2nd album to hit stores! Way to go guys!
God Bless,
