Lonestar, very talented Contemporary Country group have released their latest CD titled Coming Home and Wow! It's good. Unfortunately, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Coming Home. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Coming Home is a nicely varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.
Overall Coming Home is an outstanding 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 the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 1 - You're Like Comin' Home, track 8 - I Never Needed You, and track 12 - When I Go Home Again.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 11 - I Just Want To Love You. Wow!
