This is a really great album. I have a very large collection of country music, and this is one of the best albums in the whole bunch. I think it is very well written, very well produced, and Jennifer's performances are great. The album has a nice variety of upbeat, cool stuff and thoughtful ballads. Jennifer's voice reminds me most of Roseann Cash, but that's not a bad thing. If you are looking for traditional country, this isn't it. If you're looking for some great music to turn up and enjoy, this may be what you're looking for. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I bought this CD the second day it was out and have been enjoying it ever since. My favorite songs are This Far Gone and All Those Yesterdays, but there's really no song I don't care for. I'm also impressed with Jennifer Hanson as a true artist. She co-wrote 9 of 11 tracks as well as co-produced the CD. Unbelievable artistic freedom for a debut! I feel she came through in a big way and shows the faith her label has in her is well founded.

This is most definitely not a traditional country album. Indeed, much of it isn't particularly country at all. However, the disc is simply very enjoyable to listen to, and isn't that the most important thing of all? I get it out from time to time and listen to it all the way through without any temptation to skip ahead. Particularly good are "Beautiful Goodbye" "Travis" and "Half a Heart Tatoo." The ballads are strong too.

I have really enjoyed this CD since it came out. There is a lot of passion in Jennifer Hanson's voice. The songs run the gamut from fun ("Get Yourself Back") to love lost ("This Far Gone") and one with a serious message ("Travis"). I really like the upbeat songs like "Beautiful Goodbye" and "Half A Heart Tattoo" (about a guy who is not as good as he seems). Jennifer Hanson outshines Faith Hill on "Simply Yours".

This CD features a great range of song types and styles - country to blues and pop - I highly recommend it!

While Nashville superstars ...have completely lost their country sound while trying to become the next Celine Dion, there are always a few very welcome throwbacks to a slightly more rootsy style. So meet Jennifer Hanson, whose dad played in Alabama, who enters the ring with this fine new album. It's densely-produced, but fairly rootsy, rock-flavored Nashville country, with more than a nod or two towards roots-rock foremothers Rosanne Cash and Sheryl Crowe. Hanson's best on the upbeat numbers -- some of the ballads just don't fly -- and she's got several catchy tunes here that might get her into the Top Country stratosphere. I like "Half A Heart Tattoo," myself; it's a funny, catchy song that's sure to catch on pretty quickly. This album's a nice surprise -- I hope Nashville comes up with a few more just like it!
