Not much effort on their part

First of all, if you're considering this CD, go to CMT.com and listen to it for free. Go to their 'Hear Music Now' section (under Music tab on the top bar of the site). It used to be called listening parties, if you used to visit the site. You click on the band, and then there'll be a link to stream the music in a new window. I'm not sure how long the CD will be available to listen to, but it's worth checking. You might find another band you're interested in!
This is where I first listened to the CD. I'd hear their work in the soundtrack for "Cars" and was interested in hearing more. I was disappointed in this CD, however. It was like they wrote the songs the night before they were due. The sound was very high quality, and the vocals were alright (not my particular taste), but the lyrics and music were pretty poor. Take, for instance, "Backwards," a song about what happens if you play a country song backwards. It's a hilarious concept, but poorly executed by the band. They don't tie the idea into the song at all, and it has a repetitive sound. This is true with most of the CD.
So my advice is to try to listen to it, and if nothing else, read some of the lyrics online. I think they could have done better.
