Lonestar Crazy Nights Contemporary Country Music CD Review

Lonestar released their most recent CD entitled Crazy Nights.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Lonestar most impressive releases ever.

Overall Crazy Nights is a solid release. Quite possibly Lonestar's best to date. Really spectacular from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Contemporary country music you'll enjoy this CD.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 1 - Come Cryin' To Me, track 5 - John Doe On A John Deere, and track 11 - What Do We Do With The Rest Of The Night

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 6 - You Walked In. This is a great track!
