Terri Clark - Just The Same
When I first heard Terri sing, I thought it was Patty Loveless. Her style reminds me a lot of Patty, but as you listen to her, you find that she has a unique style all her own. Terri comes across as being "the girl next door." She has a quiet manner, and a voice that can convey whatever emotion her songs require.
This album had a lot of slow songs with a few fun ones thrown in. She enjoyed a heavy amount of airplay with two great "girl" songs, "Emotional Girl" and "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me." These songs were great at telling the women that they are in charge of their own destinies. "Something in the Water" is an old-fashioned ballad that almost makes you want to grab the box of tissues. "Any Woman" is also a great ballad.
Overall, this is a great album and very easy to relax to. Terri has a great voice, and I enjoy listening to her. She is another in the long line of people to show us that Canada is more than up to the task of sending out people that can sing great country music. I expect that we will continue to hear from Terri for a while yet.
