Ruthie Foster – Joy Comes Back

I gave this album a listen this morning and within the first 10 seconds my initial reaction was is this twangy country? I'm not one of those types that claim to "listen to everything except country." I actually like country but the more country bro pop stuff. I just don't listen to it as often as other genres. Die-hard country fans tend to hate that stuff and prefer the more traditional stuff. I didn't even take the time out to think about it and say this veer more into soul/folk than country which it totally does. I have to re-listen to it again when I'm more in a mindset to accept some of the uplifting tracks that were being played before. I would give the album as a whole 6.5 but that may change after my second listen of it which I will do in a few days. None of the tracks really stood out to me imo.
