ENJOY THE RIDE - SUGARLAND
Sugarland set the bar high with its first album, “Twice the Speed of Life,” which spawned two top five singles and won numerous awards. No worries about a sophomore slump here. From the frenetic small-town anthem “County Line” to the Springsteen-esque blue-collar country rock of “These Are the Days” and “One Blue Sky,” Sugarland’s sophomore offering is right on target. When Jennifer Nettles sings, “You’ve got my heart and your daddy’s boat, we’ve got all night to make it float,” the listener is privy to an exploration of young love as detailed on “Want To.” Nettles recently told Billboard that country music is “still there telling the story of the everyday man and woman.” She’s right, and the same can be said of Sugarland.
