I am very impressed with Chely's latest album, SWF! Every song is terrific! Half the songs are ballads, but they are beautiful, and the uptempo songs rock! My personal favorites are "It Was," "Some Kind of Something," and "The Fire." You will not be disappointed in this album. It is full of emotion and each song tells a story. It is really fabulous - I listen to it all the time in the car. It is great cruisin' music! I enjoy it more each time I listen to it. Chely's voice is like a lullaby! I loved this one so much that I went out and bought her previous album ("Let Me In") and that one is great, too. Buy this CD!

4.0 out of 5 stars Chely's as solid as ever, May 26, 1999

The first thing I noticed while listening to Chely's new CD was the great slide guitar on the title song, "Single White Female." It's very clever how the song is written in the form of a personals ad. Chely sings "She Went Out For Cigarettes" with a lot of emotion. It's a traditional ballad with very good strong-woman lyrics. The song "Unknown" is a little boring in the arrangements, but it states nicely the feeeling of wanting to share yourself with another. "The Fire" is kind of alterna-country, and a very cool song. Chely does a decent job with her self-penned song "Picket Fences." It doesn't really rise above other songs of its message, though. I liked the background of "The Love That We Lost" more in the version on Chely's "Right In The Middle Of It" album. Still, the lyrics remain nicely different (going through the house to find lost love is a good comparison.)"Rubbin' It In," a song about the whole world seeming to make fun of you because of lost love, is one that many can relate to. Also, it has a good mandolin and acoustic instrumentation. "Some Kind Of Something" is fun, even if it doesn't break ground lyrically. This CD is a fine addition to anyone's collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good CD, February 8, 2000

This review is from: Single White Female (Audio CD)

Chely Wright's latest CD "Single White Female" has been a big hit for her. It's moved her toward the mainstream country artists such as Faith Hill, Martina McBride, and Shania Twain. The album is good. The best songs are Single White Female, It Was, The Love That We Lost, and The Fire. There aren't any songs on the album that are really bad, but there are a few that I didn't care for. Overall, this CD is a good buy, especially if you like the modern country. It isn't twangy country music, so if you're looking for that, try another artist. But you can definitely tell that Chely's background is in country as you listen to the music and lyrics of the songs on this album. I recommend this CD to any country music fan of today. Way to go, Chely!
