5.0 out of 5 stars One of their best!, September 13, 2005

This review is from: Coming Home (Audio CD)

Lonestar's last album, LET'S BE US AGAIN, was a charged pop-country effort that left little to the imagination, fueled mainly by vocalist Richie McDonald's incredible singing. COMING HOME finds the band broadening out; they're still the pop-country group that contemporary radio listeners know them as (their first-two albums all but forgotten), but this time the songs are well-crafed, well-performed, and mostly un-cliched.

Okay, I'll get the 3 duds out of the way first: "I'll Die Tryin'" is another powerhouse ballad in the vein of "Amazed;" if that's your cup of tea, go for it; otherwise, it's pretty typical fare. The lyrics in "Wild" play out so true to form that you can sing along even if you've never heard the tune before; and "I Just Want To Love You," while better than the two afore-mentioned duds, still lacks any true resemblence of heart and passion.

Now for the rest of the album. The opener and first single, "You're Like Comin' Home," is a picturesque romp that you just can't help but listen to and sing along. "I Am a Man" is not as cliched as one would think, and is one of McDonald's best performances on the album; "Two Bottles of Beer," "Noise," and "What's Wrong With That" are some good-time fun songs that are truly enjoyable. And Sara Evans's harmonies on "I Never Needed You" make the song even better than it would've been originally. The album ends with the quirky, country stomper "When I Go Home Again."

There ya go. Overall, COMING HOME is one of Lonestar's best efforts; certainly, their best since LONELY GRILL. But that's only for those of you who go back that far. For the newer fans, just know that this is one of the best releases of 2005, and that these four guys have the talent and experience to make some great (modern) country music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lonestar's greatest album!!!, December 29, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Coming Home (Audio CD)

Lonestar, coming home, is one of their greatest albums! The greatest songs on the album are: "You're Like Comin' Home", and "What's Wrong With That". I have always been a Lonestar fan, and I always collect their newest albums through the years. Lonestar's band and voices's were incredibly great on this album! Once again they had another sucsessful CD! So if you're looking for a great CD, buy Lonestar, Coming Home!

I always enjoy Lonestar with their down-home morals and uplifting songs. I've never missed a concert whenever they are within driving distance.
Just watching them, one can see how much they enjoy thier work. Listening to them, one can tell how much they love their families. Where else can you find that combination, in such a dynamic group?
This Cd is the best ever. Delivering, once again, the very best of Lonestar!
They are a group for All ages, which is evident when you see the crowds at their concerts.
Lonestar is what True Entertainers are all about.
Not since Neil Diamond started have we seen a group This Good!
