Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: This debut album by the small-town girl with the big, powerhouse voice showcases two distinctly different sides of Kellie Pickler's music. The hard-riffing uptempo material recalls the heartland rock of Bob Seger and John Mellencamp, with Pickler providing a good-ole-girl twang. Among the highlights are the emancipated strut of "Red High Heels," the playful humor of "Things That Never Cross a Man's Mind," and the tomboy bluesiness of "One of the Guys." Yet the American Idol finalist turns pure diva on the over-the-top balladry of the album's other half, with swelling strings and arrangements that overpower rather than enhance "I Wonder" and "I'm on My Way." On such cuts, producer Blake Chancey (Dixie Chicks) never gives Pickler a chance to show the subtlety and nuance that makes music more an art than a competition. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews
Great CD
As an Idol contestant, Kelli was adorable but a little rough around the edges. She has really polished her music.

Consistent, likable and enjoyable
I didn't know much about Kellie Pickler until several months after her debut album Small Town Girl dropped. On iTunes I decided to check out her first single "Red High Heels" and, at first, couldn't stand it--but subsequent listens proved to lure me in and, eventually, I became more interested in the former Idol instead of dismissing her. I'm not a major fan of country music, although I can enjoy it on occasion, and it wasn't until I heard the heartfelt ballad "I Wonder" that I decided Small Town Girl deserved a further listen. Despite its hurried release, Pickler's debut is a hugely enjoyable piece of mainstream country, from its likable opening number and Top 10 second single "I Wonder" to, in all honesty, everything else! Pickler isn't an amazing singer in terms of originality (her nasal delivery is sweet, but unoriginal in comparison to other females of the genre), but she's undoubtedly talented, funny, witty and--probably most important in terms of her country fan base--still very much a "small town girl" at heart, which (more than anything) sells this startlingly consistent album.

Good Job Pickler!
Made me cry in my car as I listened to "I Wonder". Don't worry, the other tracks are fun and good funky country music. We all love Kellie Pickler for being so refreshingly human.

You gotta love her.
Now here is a real country girl who deserves everything that has come her way. Kellie has a great voice, and knows how to handle an audience. It is very obvious that Kellie belongs on a stage singing. Kellie is here for the long haul.

AWESOME
Kellie's CD is great from beginning to end. She has the voice and heart of an angel. She co-wrote several of the songs. She sings from the heart. She has been ridiculed for her performance on Smarter than a 5th Grader which is totally uncalled for. She was doing what the show required but people can't seem to grasp that concept. I have purchased several of her CD's for gifts and the people who received them absolutely loved them. KELLIE PICKLER FAN FOREVER!
