Don't expect any surprises from Life Goes On, this mostly uptempo showcase for one of modern country's more buoyant singers. After all, Terri Clark's made a 10-year career of wrapping her big-boned voice around stories of dreamers, lovers, and the heartbroken and turning them into hits, expertly and brightly accompanied by crack session musicians. Nonetheless, there are some outstanding performances here. The title track and "Damn Right" are pure pop, the former a catchy nod to the joys of life's Zen-like surprises, the latter a rhyme-packed ditty about an ex-lover. "I Wish He'd Been Drinkin' Whiskey" veers into classic tear-in-your-beer territory with its sobering tale of a split-up. The autobiographical piano ballad "Travelin' Soul" waxes about the joys and insecurities that come with the pursuit of dreams and gives Clark a chance to explore the soft side of her singing. She stays in heartbreak territory for the Dobro-and-acoustic-guitar-charged "Everybody's Gotta Go Sometime" and the stomping "Tear It All Down." And "Slow News Days" is one of her rare topical numbers, gently admonishing our media-mad culture and urging people to look to their hearts rather than the headlines for what's best about humanity. --Ted Drozdowski

Clark hasn't lost the edge of playfulness that she has always displayed.

Clark retains that honky-tonk feel.

A sturdy new album bearing an appropriately stoic title: "Life Goes ON". The vocal harmonies are rich and robust.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another Canadian cross-over cowgirl, January 18, 2006

Shania's got company! Here comes another Canadian beauty with a country heart and a crossover urge, which she satisfies on some of the tracks on this album.

With seven albums under her studded belt, Terri Clark has been around the country music scene since 1995, singing about love, loss, tears and lies, with all the usual trimmings, but on this album she lets loose with some pop, some honky tonk and a lot of energy.

Leading off with the pop-country "Life Goes On" the album launches itself with a blast, and just keeps going from there. Songs to remember are first single "She Didn't Have Time"; the toe tappin' "Cowboy Days"; the hi-energy and very funny "Honky Tonk Song"; the mellow "Travelin' Soul"; "Damn Right" and "Tear It All Down".

Maybe not classic country, but a fun, upbeat album for easy listening and a little boot stompin'

5.0 out of 5 stars If I could......, January 6, 2006

As I live in a city in Mexico near U.S. I don'thave the opportunity to go to many concerts I wish I could, it would imply to spend a lot of money, the only possible way would be to wait until some of my favorite singers came to Texas... but that's not the point...

I have just bought this CD and all I can say is that almost every song in the album would be a great hit on the radio.

Some of my favorites on it are:

1. She Didn't Have Time

2. Not Enough Tequila and

3. Travelin' Soul

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of great songs, November 1, 2005

Terri Clark returns with a new album LIFE GOES ON, after she released a greatest hits last year. I had the pleasure of seeing her live this summer and Terri is quite the entertainer. She sang a lot of songs from this new cd. The first single is the emotional ballad "She Didn't Have Time", about a single mother and the struggles she faces. She does some great uptempos like the title track, "Honky Tonk Song", "Damn Right", and others. She also gets personal on tracks like "Travelin Soul" and "Slow News Day". In the liner notes for the CD, she says that it's the album she came to Nashville to make. In concert she told us that it was a labor of love, and it took a few years to complete, but now it's finally here! Overall a strong album from Terri!
