Ohio native Danielle Peck makes her debut on Big Machine Records, one of the independent labels associated with country superstar Toby Keith. The music here sounds like Shania Twain with the snare drums turned down and the twangy guitars cranked up. While Shania usually comes off as playful and flirty in her songs, Ms. Peck takes the "I'm sexy but don't mess with me" approach in her performances. Winners on this album include the brilliant first single "I Don't" (with great lyrics like "The difference is Jesus loves you/But I don't"), the humorous follow-up "Findin' A Good Man", the tastefully sexy "Kiss You On The Mouth", and the kiss-off song "Sucks To Be You". Although some tunes like "Honky Tonk Time", "Somebody Like You" and "Thirsty Again" drift a little too much into the Shania Twain/Faith Hill camp, DANIELLE PECK is the work of a talented artist who deserves to be in the spotlight for many years to come.

This is definitely one of the best new country cd's I've heard in awhile! Great lyrics, great voice, and great music! This is a cd I can listen to the whole way through - no fillers. Some have made Shania Twain references, but Danielle Peck has a far better voice than Shania and her songs are way less fluffy (although I am a Shania fan). Danielle's songs are unmistakably country - not pop-infused country like a lot of other country artists. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of a long, successful career for Danielle because she makes a great addition to country music!

I received Danielle Peck's self-titled CD for Father's Day. I was prepared to be disappointed but instead found myself really enjoying the CD. While Ms. Peck doesn't have the greatest voice, it is sexy and assertive AND she has it under full control (none of the "shrieking diva" approach too often found on CDs by today's country females). The songs selected are very suitable to Ms Peck's voice, and very good lyrically. I say this because,
typically, most CDs have several songs that are out and out duds, but I liked all eleven songs on the CD.

The current song being pushed to radio is "Finding A Good Man" with "I Don't" having also received airplay. Ms Peck has co-writer credits on several of the songs although not on the current hit.

"Kiss You On The Mouth" (a somewhat steamy ballad), "Honky-Tonk Time" and "A Woman Does Too" also would make good songs to promote to radio. The CD is a little heavy on ballads; one more uptempo number inserted near the end of the CD would have been good.

Apparently Big Machine Records is one of those independent labels associated with Toby Keith, but if so, he must be allowing the artists to have complete artistic independence as he wrote none of the songs on the CD and the disc doesn't seem to have any of Toby's touches to the production. Ms Peck does thank her manager, Barbara Orbison in the tray card notes - I assume this is Roy Orbison's widow.

Anyway, I highly recommend this disc and look forward to her sophomore effort. If allowed fractional ratings I would give this 4.5 stars

Considering you can find this album in most places for under $10, you have to admit that the price would make anyone stop twice at this new country beauty. Not to mention the voice that lures you in and slaps you on the cheek before leaving your mind bruised by her lipstick promises.

Yowza! I haven't a voice like this since...yeah: the last record that came out.

But you have to give it to Toby Keith and his record company. They certainly aren't dishing out a forgettable commodity. Danielle Peck's self-titled debut has everything a country CD could offer. There's girl anthems ("Findin' A Good Man"), breakup ballads ("I Don't", "A Woman Does Too") and even those stand out driving songs that Jo Dee Messina used to deliver ("Sucks To Be You", "Isn't That Everything"). It's all here and packaged in that sexy southern drawl.

Makes me wanna kiss her on the mouth....

My first exposure to Danielle Peck was seeing her "I Don't" video on the country music channels, and I loved it so much that I ordered the CD a month before the release date. And my first impression was that she has the whole package; she's beautiful (actually I don't refer to any woman as sizzling hot but Danielle really tests my limits with that more than anybody in country music), she has a voice which is unique in today's country scene, she definitely sings country songs (not pop songs with a twangy voice like some of today's "country" artists), and she has attitude in her songs (if I had to describe the entire CD in one blanket statement I'd say her songs are about "I want you to want me but if I catch you playing games you're going to pay big time!") The only two songs that don't fit that mold are her latest hit "Isn't That Everything" which is about understanding and appreciating what really matters in life and the don't worry just party anthem "Honky Tonk Time." By the way, after listening to the CD over 500 times, the final track, "Somebody For You," is still the most riveting song I've heard in years. This album is going to be the start of an amazing career and is well worth having.

Here is some real pure talent not to mention song writer and absolutely gorgeous! This gal is going to be big in the country music business.

Danielle has a refreshing delivery. She has incredible talent and her amazing looks don't hurt either. I think she will be a nice addition to the music industry with her direct-in your face lyrics delievered with a sensual playfulness. She is sharp, clever and knows how to sing the hooks that catch you the first listen. She also comes across as very transparent and at times incredibly vulnerable. She has many dynamics in her music and I feel she is just REAL. No strings, no pulled punches, just REAL. She sings of the relatable truths we have all been through and it is easy to relate and associate with where she is coming from. Simple yet effective with a little sas and a lot of sex appeal. I expect her to have a very successful music career. Artist like Danielle are rare and welcomed in today's industry.

This cd has some great songs on it.Her voice sounds similar to Shania Twain, but she's not Shania!I don't know if this album is enough to make her a major country star but I like the songs.Good luck, Danielle!

if you like Danielle Peck you will like this CD she is a pretty good singer and she has a very pretty voice and I do like her music.

Awesome CD. Danielle's voice is phenomenal with emotion on her ballads and her high energy songs make you wanna sing with her. She is a very talented artist who is heavily underrated. She is also a very genuine and caring person especially to her fans. Country music needs more people like her.
