I have to disagree with the previous reviewer. I love JMC's voice and could listen to it forever, which is why I just bought the CD. "Alyssa Lies" is certainly one of the best songs on the CD, and it suits his voice well, as do some others I really liked, such as "Lookin' At You," "No Good in Goodbye," a beautiful duet with Jewel (which they also wrote together), "Livin' Our Love Song," "Love Won't Let Me," and especially "Let It Rain." I am not particularly eclectic in my tastes, but I thought a couple of the songs didn't seem to suit him well, such as "Anywhere, USA" and "Honky Tonk Friends." I am nonetheless very glad I bought this work. Many of the songs are sad, but there are a couple of upbeat ones as well, and if you love a deep baritone like I do, particularly singing a love ballad, you'll want to pick this up. Great Job, JMC! I am forever a fan!

When I first heard JMC'S debut single "Alyssa Lies", I knew right away he had something different than other newcomer country artists in a good way.However, I knew that i'd have to hear the whole album to know how much I liked him.Take it from me, go ahead and buy it you will not be disappointed.From start to finish this is a great album, nothing is there that I want to skip I can just sit and listen to every song.Don't listen to the 2 star review, this is not a "forgetable" artist.Few new artists these days make such a big impact in country music, but I feel JMC will be around for years.On this album you will find a big variety of songs including upbeat and fun songs,sad songs and love songs.Buy this one now and try it out for yourself.

I love every song on this CD. I bought it because of Alyssa Lies, but I find myself listening to this CD over and over. I haven't decided on my favorite song yet, because there are several.

When I first heard "Alyssa Lie's", like everyone else I was moved by the serious material. The best song is "Livin Our Love Song" it captures that euphoric feeling you have when you and that person you love are in synch. The rest of the cd is a wonderful mix of really cool country music. It is rare that one can buy a cd and love all the songs, rather than having to mix up with different artists on their ipod. A MUST HAVE CD!!!

Jason Michael Carroll has been named the 2007 #1 New Male Country Artist by Billboard, Records and Radio and SoundScan....That Speaks Volumes about this Country Music Talent - I hope you did not listen to reviews from those who missed the boat on this great new talent!

Don't miss having a copy of his debut CD! "Waitin' in the Country" has something for everyone. It is truly a variety pack, offering the great message song in the first top 5 hit single "Alyssa Lies"; great country music offerings like the 3rd sure to be a hit "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead", captivating love songs like, the second top 5 hit single "Living' Our Love Song", another fan favorite is the title song "Waitin' in the Country", sad love songs including a stellar duet with none other than Jewel "No Good in Goodbye", the hopeful "Love Won't Let Me", the passionate plea of "Angel of Broken Hearts" and finally the inspired poignant "Let it Rain" which especially highlights Jason's range and Talent.

Ok, not only is he absolutely gorgeous, but his songs are equally amazing, as well - and his voice is just guh.

+ "Waitin' In The Country" - Love this song. The second verse is love, but the whole song's snazzin'.
+ "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead" - "I've got a closet full of Red Bull and Visine to hide the red." You'll laugh, even if you don't want to. xD
+ "Alyssa Lies" - The first song I heard from him on the radio, 'n I still cry every time I hear it.
+ "Lookin' At You" - Sweet and funny, perfect combination.
+ "No Good In Goodbye" - One of my favorite tracks, 'cause he's singing with Jewel (love her) and the song is just gorgeous. ("And I know it can't be over, 'cause I still wake up reachin' for you in the night...")
+ "Livin' Our Love Song" - So sweet, and swoon-worthy (for a hopeless romantic, at least).
+ "Anyhwere USA" - I can't even say how much I love this song. xD It just makes you wanna dance 'n sing along, 'n it's just great.
+ "Honky Tonk Friends" - Silly and fun with a ring of truth to it; very nice.
+ "Love Won't Let Me" - Love this song way too much. It's gorgeous, it's shippy, and an overall guh.
+ "Angel Of Broken Hearts" - It's got this music to it that you wouldn't quite expect, but it adds to a nice, "Ok, I'm tired of being miserable over her - can I move on now, please?" sort of feel to the song.
+ "Let It Rain" - Beyond gorgeous. He sings it higher than the rest of the songs, and it just adds to the song's charm. Gorgeous post-break up song.

I knew I liked the songs played on the radio, but the others were better than expected. I recommend this cd to country music fans. This is a good cd beginning to end.

This album is really strong. My favorite song is "Angel of Broken Hearts" but the entire album is strong.

Jason Michael Carroll has a deep rich voice that commands attention both in his album and his live performances. He has an amazing amount of energy in both. The one song that really lacks appeal on this album for me is "Honky Tonk Friends." It seemed like a forced faked song and failed to follow the flow or feeling of the rest of the album. I did find Anywhere USA to be very catchy among other songs that weren't released as singles.

If you get a chance to catch him live its a good show but he still hasn't quite captured the art of holding the audience and moving them.

Great CD> Saw jason Michael Carroll at the country fest and just loved him. His CD is great

Every song is excellent....one of my favorites is "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead". There will be many hits off this one. Great voice out of this guy, he's a newcomer but he'll be around for a long time.
Buy this cd, you won't regret it.
