Liner Note Author: Judy Forde Blair. Photographer: Robert Ascroft. Part of the Great AMERICAN IDOL album flood of late 2006, Kellie Pickler's solo debut features a winning set of country-pop tunes. Even though many other celebrated former contestants on the reality-TV show issued records around the same time, the North Carolina-based Pickler, with her easy-going Carrie Underwood-meets-Jessica Simpson charm, easily stood out from the pack, particularly with her carefree and slightly twangy single, "Red High Heels."

Best Idol Album Yet
| Author's Rating: |

Pros: Catchy, Well written and performed marvelously
Cons: None
After having heard Carrie Underwood, then Bo Bice and Chris Daughtry's Albums I heard Kellie's offering. It has become obvious to me that all the best songwriters are currently in Nashville. Carrie and Kellie have been given much better melodies that stay diverse the entire album while Bo and Chris were reduced to Nickelback wannabes. Kellie's album has great storytelling woven into catchy melodies with decent hooks. Her song to her mother "Wonder" is so heartfelt and poignant it will bring a tear to your eye while "Small town girl" will make you chuckle at her joke about Calamari. Every song on the album was well written and I was very surprised at how well she carried each one with very mature sounding lyrics. The album succeeds in having a freshman sound to it while keeping her dignity as a talented vocalist. Overall great job by the whole production crew as well as Kellie who I am sure will have great success with her first attempt.
