Jason Michael Carroll - Waitin' in the Country (CD)

Music Reviews-Jason Michael Carroll

By The  Mar 27, 2007

Pros: Jason Michael Carroll may just be the next major star of country music.

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… Combine this with a duet with pop star Jewel ("No Good In Goodbye") and some great love songs like "Love Won't Let Me" and you have a solid album that is well worth a spin. No matter what style of modern country you like you will most likely find something on here that you will love. 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. This is a great debut record and the start to a wonderful career. Read more Less
