Faith Hill Cry Contemporary Country Music CD Review

The super talented Contemporary Country artist Faith Hill has released her most recent CD on the Warner Bros. Records recording label, entitled Cry.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Contemporary Country music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Marti Frederiksen and Damon Johnson plus a few other notables as well.

Cry is a first rate CD, delivering a little something for everyone. I give it my highest recommendation. It’s quite simply great listening. A must buy for the Contemporary Country fan.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 4 - When The Lights Go Down, track 8 - If You're Gonna Fly Away, and track 10 - If This Is The End

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 14 - You're Still Here. Wow!
