Customer Review: 4.5 out of 5 stars Amazon.com: OK, let's get all the disclaimers out of the way first.

Customer Review: 5 out of 5 stars Amazon.com: It's a sobering testament to the power of flash over substance that Nashville's major labels now routinely crank out slick "new country" videos while more heartfelt, authentic country music is nowhere to be found on industry radar.
