Description of Taylor Swift:
Three years ago, a 13-year old Taylor Swift set out to be a star and moved from Reading, Pennsylvania, to Nashville. By 14, she had a publishing deal, and by 15, a recording contract. In these days of Bianca Ryan (and before her, Tanya Tucker and LeAnn Rimes), many are called, but few are chosen. Swift, it appears, is one of the chosen ones. Her vocal talent is modest, though sweetly affecting, her style seemingly influenced by the radio hits of early Sheryl Crow and Michelle Branch, and perhaps Cyndi Thomson. And at times, her youthfulness shows--she encoded messages in the lyrics of her CD booklet, starting with the name of the boy who cheated on her from "Should've Said No" (the album's strongest offering). But in writing or co-writing all 11 songs on this debut, Swift demonstrates remarkable maturity, particularly in crafting a hooky, radio-ready chorus. Though she sounds ridiculous looking back from the perspective of an 87-year old woman on "Mary's Song," to her credit she mostly writes about what she knows--unrequited high-school crushes ("Teardrops on My Guitar"), teenage angst ("Tied Together with a Smile"), and complete immersion in starry-eyed romance (her breakout hit "Tim McGraw"). Swift has such wistful charm and tunefulness that only a curmudgeon could dismiss her, and in fact, more than 60,000 fans lined up to grab this CD the first month of release. No wonder Rascal Flatts and George Strait added her to their tours. Look out, Carrie Underwood--there's a new kid in town. --Alanna Nash

A Little More Country
2009-12-22 - Taylor's first album sounds more like country music than her second album. The songs are also more acoustic in a way. I recomend you buy it, if you haven't, and see how Taylor's music has changed.
I really enjoyed this album, and my favorite tracks are:
Picture To Burn
Teardrops on my Guitar
Should've Said No
Our Song
I'm Only Me When I'm With You (my all time favorite)
Perfectly Good Heart
came in a timely manner 
2009-11-27 - We have not listened to the Cd yet(christmas present), but it did come nicely packaged, and in good shape.

2009-11-23 - Taylor is an amazingly talented young woman and her music is appropriate for all ages. My 3 sons sing along to her cd's in my car and they are 8, 6 and 5 and they know the words by heart....
I would recommend this cd to anyone!
