"For anyone that watches American Idol, Carmen was a top 10 finisher on the second season of AI. She is amazing and I have WAITED for the CD to come out. The whole Cd is great. My favorites are: "Happy", "Shine" & "Love Will Wait". Not only did Carmen Co-Write 3 songs, but some of the most underrated singers in Nashville Co-Wrote on the Cd. Katrina Elam and Sarah Buxton each have a song and Kristyn Osborn of SheDaisy has a song on it. All in all it really is a gem. If you are a Kelly Pickler fan and liked what she did on her first CD, then this one will BLOW YOU AWAY."
Sensational Album from first to last

"We're all spoiled today by downloading a track from artist "A" and another from aritst "B" to create the perfect CD. And, in truth, it is rare to find an album where every track is good. But this is that rare album!
When I drop this CD into my car CD changer I just never hit the "next" button, but often actually hit the "repeat." While some songs, like "Your Love" or "Happy" have that upbeat hook, others are quieter, deeper and heart felt. Almost all evoke fond personal memories.
But "Gather Me Up," which I understand from another reviewer here was written by Rasmusen herself, is simply stunning. What a beautiful song. If you like the music and styling of Alison Krauss, your going to love this particular song and this entire album.
While you can download an individual track or two, I recommend you purchase the entire album. It'a a rare great album filled with songs you'll love."

"Country is big these days. What with contemporary country girls like Carrie and Martina and Reba rocking things up in the scene, sometimes all that is needed is some good ol' soft country sounds.
She doesn't power through her songs (though she could), but instead brings her own flavor to it, a gentle touch, a harmonious sound, and tons of strong emotion, resulting in an album that is unique and tasteful and catchy.
Take a listen to the first single, Nothin' Like The Summer. Impressive debut, and it is set to go far."
Loved it!!
