Besides the Maida/Kreviazuk co-write, she's got Temporary Home (which sounds Great with a capital G) - with co-writer Zac Malloy. As in Zac Malloy of David Cook's Come Back to Me, Life On The Moon, and Lie. I guess she really did like Cook's album. I totally agree with Carrie's faves thus far - just the snippets of those two ballads are heartaching. Interesting.

I think we can blame the i-Tunes countdown for CC being the only new song performance available - they probably demanded the exclusive. I loved all the performances. JTTW will never be my favorite song but she sounds incredible on it and I love that she did the tour version with the head voice part here. I love the different intro to So Small too. I also liked hearing a little about how they wrote Cowboy Casanova. It started with a chunky guitar riff and drum beat from Mike Elizondo and they built it from there. There's an interview with her guitarist Ed Eason and her producer Mark Bright under the All Access section. Good stuff from both. Mark Bright makes sure to emphasize that the way this album sounds is Carrie's vision. LOL - he's probably heard all the complaints about overproduction that Carrie fans have made about Carnival Ride. I'm actually excited by what he says about Carrie doing things vocally on this album that she's never done before. There's an extra Carrie interview under the All Access section too where she says her favorite song is Someday When I Stop Loving You (based on the demo I can see why - it's GORGEOUS) and her favorite cowrite is Temporary Home. One of the things I like about Carrie - she's never shy about singling out songs she didn't cowrite as her favorites. She did that with Carnival Ride too (she said Wheel Of The World is her favorite). She did Mama’s Song too but they won’t put it up until Nov 2nd according to the Soundcheck Twitter.

One song? that we've already heard? Would anybody who would go to the soundcheck NOT know those songs? It's a waste if you ask me. Well, that’s weird…what about advertising her new album?

Not that I mind listening to any of them but I want to hear new stuff. Damn she sounds amazing on CC though. Gah why is CC the only new song she sang for Soundcheck??

Though, really, I guess it does go to the current definition of "country" is...not what it used to be, imo. As far as Carrie goes, she's can straddle that line well. I've enjoyed her "rock" covers and wouldn't be opposed to see her explore that some more. Thanks for the scoop.

He said that for every pop moment there's a country one. Me personally I'd rather Carrie go more country but if she does it'll be incrementally not wholesale. She is a big rock fan too so that'll probably keep influencing her music and her choice of writers some. One of the Kara and Luke cowrites with Carrie is Mama's Song and that's country-pop (with no crossover possibility because of the subject matter IMO) so I didn't really hear Kara pulling Carrie more in a pop direction on that one. But supposedly Undo It (which is also a song Carrie cowrote with Kara, Luke, and Martin Frederiksen) has a more crossover style. That'll be on i-Tunes in a couple weeks. The next song on the i-Tunes Countdown is a song that Carrie wrote with Luke and with Zac Maloy and it's called Temporary Home.

BTW, is it me or is this Carrie's <em>Breakaway</em>? Say hello Max Martin, Kara, Chantal Kreviazuk AND David Hodges? I do like that she worked with Luke Laird and Hillary Lindsey again...hopefully something good came out of that. I am soooo interested to see what this album will bring, eg., how “pop” does she go?
