5.0 out of 5 stars Buddy Jewell: A real Nashville star, August 20, 2003

All you have to do to become a Buddy Jewell fan is to hear him sing just one time.

Country music insiders have said for years that Buddy has the best voice in Nashville, but until he won the Nashville Star competition on USA Network, none of the Music Row "experts" would give him a chance at a recording contract.

Well, Buddy is proving that he's the real deal. Every song on the self-titled Columbia CD "Buddy Jewell" showcases the strength of his singing ability, and three songs were either written or co-written by him.

"Help Pour Out the Rain" is the first hit from this CD, but there will be others. Watch for "Sweet Southern Comfort," "Abilene on Her Mind" and "One in a Row" to eventually move up on the charts, too.

People call Buddy Jewell the "Nashville Star" now because of the TV competition. Before long, they will call him a real Nashville star because that's what he is.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Will Love This Album -- Even if Country Isn't Your Thing, July 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Buddy Jewell (Audio CD)

I first caught wind of Buddy Jewell when he was on Nashville Star. I thought I would have been the last person to become addicted to that show -- seeing as it has been probably 15 years since I last listened to country music with any regularity -- but that was before I heard Buddy Jewell sing. What an incredible voice. If you give him a try, I know you will get hooked, too.

Unfortunately, because he won the Sony contract, his original independent albums -- which are well worth the effort to find a used copy -- are no longer available. But a few of his best songs made it onto this album: Abilene On Her Mind, One In A Row, and the first single Help Pour Out The Rain (Lacey's Song). All are great, and without a doubt Abilene is destined for the top of the charts.

As a whole, the album is thoroughly enjoyable, fits together well, and contains that nice balance of slow, medium and fast. There are a couple of other standouts. You Know How Women Are works beautifully and the duet with Miranda Lambert on Today I Started Loving You Again is both wonderful and so unlike what you typically here on the radio today. Buddy's version of Why We Said Goodbye is better than Tim McGraw's, and O'Reilly's Luck has a great hook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy Two, One for You and One for a Friend, July 2, 2003

I bought this CD mostly out of curiosity. We enjoyed Nashville Star and Buddy was our favorite performer so I wanted to see how he did. This CD has been labeled "main-stream" and I haven't been real impressed with main-stream the past few years, so was expecting "another one just like the other one". To use the standard cliches it's a breath of fresh air, new and improved and the real thing. You'll be clapping, dancing and crying by the time you get through this CD. The rendition of "Today I Started Loving You Again" with Miranda Lambert gave me chills and I've been singing along to that song since I was a kid!! If you're main-stream, traditional or just curious, this is money well spent.
