3.0 out of 5 stars Shania Twang, June 6, 2006

By	John L. Hughes, Jr. "hughes_jr" (Nashville, TN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ohio native Danielle Peck makes her debut on Big Machine Records, one of the independent labels associated with country superstar Toby Keith. The music here sounds like Shania Twain with the snare drums turned down and the twangy guitars cranked up. While Shania usually comes off as playful and flirty in her songs, Ms. Peck takes the "I'm sexy but don't mess with me" approach in her performances. Winners on this album include the brilliant first single "I Don't" (with great lyrics like "The difference is Jesus loves you/But I don't"), the humorous follow-up "Findin' A Good Man", the tastefully sexy "Kiss You On The Mouth", and the kiss-off song "Sucks To Be You". Although some tunes like "Honky Tonk Time", "Somebody Like You" and "Thirsty Again" drift a little too much into the Shania Twain/Faith Hill camp, DANIELLE PECK is the work of a talented artist who deserves to be in the spotlight for many years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best debuts of the year!, June 25, 2006

By	Pulchrakia (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This is definitely one of the best new country cd's I've heard in awhile! Great lyrics, great voice, and great music! This is a cd I can listen to the whole way through - no fillers. Some have made Shania Twain references, but Danielle Peck has a far better voice than Shania and her songs are way less fluffy (although I am a Shania fan). Danielle's songs are unmistakably country - not pop-infused country like a lot of other country artists. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of a long, successful career for Danielle because she makes a great addition to country music!

4.0 out of 5 stars Promising Debut , June 19, 2006

By	Paul W. Dennis (Winter Springs, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received Danielle Peck's self-titled CD for Father's Day. I was prepared to be disappointed but instead found myself really enjoying the CD. While Ms. Peck doesn't have the greatest voice, it is sexy and assertive AND she has it under full control (none of the "shrieking diva" approach too often found on CDs by today's country females). The songs selected are very suitable to Ms Peck's voice, and very good lyrically. I say this because,
typically, most CDs have several songs that are out and out duds, but I liked all eleven songs on the CD.

The current song being pushed to radio is "Finding A Good Man" with "I Don't" having also received airplay. Ms Peck has co-writer credits on several of the songs although not on the current hit.

"Kiss You On The Mouth" (a somewhat steamy ballad), "Honky-Tonk Time" and "A Woman Does Too" also would make good songs to promote to radio. The CD is a little heavy on ballads; one more uptempo number inserted near the end of the CD would have been good.

Apparently Big Machine Records is one of those independent labels associated with Toby Keith, but if so, he must be allowing the artists to have complete artistic independence as he wrote none of the songs on the CD and the disc doesn't seem to have any of Toby's touches to the production. Ms Peck does thank her manager, Barbara Orbison in the tray card notes - I assume this is Roy Orbison's widow.

Anyway, I highly recommend this disc and look forward to her sophomore effort. If allowed fractional ratings I would give this 4.5 stars
