Love on the Inside [Digipak] (CD - 2008)

Personnel: Jennifer Nettles (vocals); Dan Dougmore (guitar); Michael Landau (guitars); Kristian Bush (mandolin); Paul Bushnell (bass guitar); Shannon Forrest (drums, percussion).

After Sugarland's first two albums hit it big on the country charts, 2008's LOVE ON THE INSIDE is the duo's breakthrough into the pop mainstream. Featuring the first single, "All I Want To Do," LOVE ON THE INSIDE mixes traditional country, singer-songwriter folk-rock, and commercial pop in a slick but ingratiating package. Other highlights include second single "Already Gone" and the mythologizing "Steve Earle." LOVE ON THE INSIDE was released both as a standard CD and as an expanded special edition that features five bonus tracks, including a live cover of the Dream Academy's 1985 alternative rock hit "Life In A Northern Town," featuring guest appearances by Jake Owen and Little Big Town, which was a surprise country radio hit in early 2008. minimize
