As Good As Connie?

"Ever since Country Radio decided that real Country Music was "too Country" for Country Radio,the only place you can get the real thing is on the Internet.
I remember when I heard "The Hinges On The Door" earlier this year.I said to myself:"This is a Connie Smith song,but it's not Connie singing".I found out the singer was Amber Digby,and after I heard the song a couple more times,I told myself she was just as good as Connie.
Now,that's like saying "just as good as Michael Jordan" or"just as good as Wayne Gretzky".
Since I've bought the CD and listened to it about ten times,I'm convinced she's at least in Connie's class.
She also covers songs by Larry Gatlin,Ronnie Milsap,John Anderson & Delia Bell and Merle Haggard and makes them her own,which is I believe the test of a true stylist.Justin Trevino's production is flawless and there's not a "filler" in the bunch.
If you think that Shania Twain and Faith Hill are Country singers,listen to this record.You're in for a shock...and a treat!

Classic Country-Awesome Talent

"In the tradition of Patsy Cline and Connie Smith, with the talent to match, Amber Digby is in a class by herself. Both of her albums are an extention of each other and a throwback to when Country Music was "real" Country Music and not the hyper music, more rock than not, which passes as country today. Only if you appreciate great songs performed by an artist with exceptional talent should you consider purchasing this album. Looking forward to her next installment."
