Horsepower is the latest release from Contemporary Country Artist Chris LeDoux, and I can only think of one word to describe it... AWESOME!
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.
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 Chris LeDoux's most impressive releases ever.
Overall Horsepower is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Contemporary Country collection. Truly an outstanding Contemporary Country CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.
While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 4 - A Cowboy Was Born, track 7 - Feels Like I'm Gettin' Into Something Good, and track 10 - Between The Rainbows And The Rain.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5 - Smack Dab In The Middle. Wow!
