1.0 out of 5 stars no copy protected CD's for me, August 24, 2005

I like her, but wouldn't even consider purchasing a copy-protected CD. If you can't put it on a MP3 player of any sort, I have no use for carrying around a crapload of CD's. FFFFF SONY!

1.0 out of 5 stars The Copy protection is a malware and can be dangerous., November 6, 2005

This installs rootkit which is malware that is used to hide and mask its existance. It installs itself in your computer and is almost impossible to remove. Attemps to remove it can damage ones computer. Great Music though!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Shelly's Wild Ride, May 3, 2005

By

Among the onslaught of ingénues flooding the current country music scene, Clinton, Miss. born Shelly Fairchild marks her arrival with a rich, full-bodied debut. Radio has yet to give proper attention to this sassy dynamo. Her first single "You Don't Lie Here Anymore" should have been a No. 1 with its hi-octane vocals and attitude that stretches for miles. The rest of Ride proves that Fairchild is no one-trick-pony. She belts like a blue's mama on "Down into Muddy Water" and rocks like a biker chick on the title track, yet easily switches gears to deliver the gentle-anguish of "Eight Crazy Hours" with delicacy. What sets her apart from her big-voiced contemporaries is the ability to make every emotional resonance ring true. This is best exemplified by the album's closing track, which explores the same kind of tender, mixed-emotion turmoil as Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You." In "Fear of Flying" Fairchild sings, "I love you / I hate you / I miss you like hell / but most of all baby / I wish you well," and remarkably, it works nearly as effectively as Parton's durable classic. Country radio programmers... take note.
