Sherrié Austin's sassy, sensuous tenor has a captivating and irrepressible charm that's made all the more alluring by the delicious undertones of her subtle Aussie accent. Yet on her third album (for which she cowrote all but one of the 10 songs, most of them with producer Will Rambeaux), Austin fleshes out the lower-register textures of her dexterous voice while also breaking ground with some new thematic dimensions. Captivating originals like "In the Meantime" and "Time, Love & Money" address timely themes of adults coming to terms with youthful fantasies and finding meaning amid the madness and mundanity of the everyday world. These tracks also prove to be worthy showcases for Austin's effervescent purrs, growls, and harmonic flourishes. A real standout is the harmonically and instrumentally hooky "My Brilliant Mistake," a gem of a song about how life's worst choices sometimes mysteriously lead to happy outcomes. Austin's reprise of Dolly Parton's classic "Jolene" is also an exhilarating and stunning vocal tour de force. --Bob Allen

5.0 out of 5 stars Best country album of the year!!!, June 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Followin' A Feelin' (Audio CD)

With Followin' A Feelin', Sherrie Austin continues to prove that she is one of the most underrated artists in all of country music. This album has something for everybody. From catchy new country songs like the title track and In The Meantime to traditional sounding pure country songs like Goin', Goin', Gone and the beautiful remake of Dolly Parton's classic, Jolene, Sherrie wonderfully displays her versatility. While other "country" artists such as Faith Hill and Shania Twain continue to drift away from their roots, Sherrie isn't afraid to be country. On this album, Sherrie creates a sound that should appeal to both modern and traditional country fans. Although Sherrie has some non-country influences it appears that she has no desire to be a pop artist, and that is very refreshing these days. Besides having the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, Sherrie is also an amazing songwriter, penning 9 of the album's 10 songs. Although it is very difficult to choose favorites on such a consistently brilliant collection of tracks, I think In the Meantime and the amazing ballad Love Melts Even the Coldest Hearts are worth the price of the cd alone. There isn't one weak track on this cd and any country fan's collection is incomplete without Followin' A Feelin'. I also highly recommend Sherrie's other 2 albums, Words and Love in the Real World.

This CD is simply put, wonderful. From the classic Dolly Parton "Jolene." TO may very favorite, "Somethin' Missin' in the Kissin'" This CD has a bit of it all, and it's all unique, wonderful and totally Sherrie. I saw Sherrie at a local fair over the summer, her show is GREAT! The live version of "Missin' in the Kissin'" is fantastic. Sherrie put on a great show and she's really very funny. I think if you buy this CD you won't be dissapointed, in fact I'm sure it will soon become one of you favorites!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST FEMALE CD OF THE MILLINEUM, May 17, 2004

Sherrie Austin is without question the BEST female singer in country music today. And once again, she proves it. There are a number of 10/10 on this CD: The best is "My Brilliant Mistake", but "Back Where I Belong", The title track, and "In The Meantime" are also flawless songs. "Jolene" is a song I always have detested, it did not matter if it was Dolly Parton, Martina McBride, or the worst of all: Olivia Newton-John, I dislike the lyrics. Sherrie, managed to get me to at least tolerate the song. This is a must have CD, simply put the best CD of the millineum.
