A surprise hit in 2004 and 2005, this Atlanta-based threesome arrived on the scene at precisely the right time--when country trios (Dixie Chicks, Rascal Flatts, and to a lesser extent, Trick Pony and SheDaisy) had proved themselves in the marketplace. Like those acts, Sugarland trade on solid and sometimes intricate harmonies and a killer lead vocalist. In this case, the full-tilt Jennifer Nettles plays Natalie Maines to Kristen Hall and Kristian Bush's Emily and Martie. And while it would be lovely to hear another member of the trio out front occasionally, Nettles, a deep-dish Southerner who knows no one-syllable words ("air" is "aye-er"), is a commanding presence. Stylistically, the group mixes it up, from the folk-rock of Hall and Bush's backgrounds to the driving pop that dominates much of contemporary country radio; thematically, the songs largely revolve around restlessness, the need to escape restrictions and find one's self, and the faith that things will work out. "Baby Girl," the hit about an itinerant musician writing home for money and emotional connectedness, is but one of several surefire winners here, which include "Something More," a mid-tempo quest for a more meaningful life, and "Tennessee," in which a radio request line rescues true love. The quieter songs ("Fly Away," "Hello") are no less well written and affecting, even as the barnburning "Down in Mississippi (Up to No Good)," about housewife ennui and riverboat gambling, falls embarrassingly flat. Does this triad have staying power? Well, just as their name implies, they're a little too sweet to equal the Chicks' gravitas, but there's no denying they've got energy to burn. --Alanna Nash

Great Album-- Excellent Sound Quality
This is a great album if you already like a couple of Sugarland songs. In my opinion, the sound quality from Amazon MP3s are better than iTunes. Once you download the Amazon MP3 manager, the songs download, then iTunes program on my computer automatically recognizes the new downloads and then all that's left to do is sync the songs to my iPod. Download this album now! Sugarland Twice the Speed of Light CD
An amazing CD of this group. It's full of great songs and is a pleasure to listen to over and over. Big fan of Sugarland! Favorite CD of this Decade!
What an awesome cd and great roller coaster ride! Up beat enough to get a speeding ticket, happy and sad and mellow all in one. If you don't like this cd you are just weird. I look forward to Sugarland for many many more years on the radio. A breath of fresh country air with a twist! Sugarland Twice The Speed of Life is still great!
I know that this album was released a few years ago but my daughter, who is 9 years old, just heard "Love Your Baby Girl" for the first time a few months ago and asked if I would order the CD for her. I was concerned because I hadn't heard any of the other songs and didn't know if they were kid friendly but the whole album was not only kid friendly, it's also really good. I'm not much of a country music fan but this CD has become one of my favorites as well. Twice The Speed Of Life by Sugarland
I ejoyed This CD. I had bought all three at the same time. I am glad that I did! |
