Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In the Mark McGuinn-penned "Unusually Unusual", Lonestar's lead singer Richie McDonald swoons over a girl who's "absolutely unpredictable". If only the same could be said of I'm Already There, which fulfils every expectation one could have of a Lonestar album. As usual, the band's ordinariness is delivered at a highly competent level, and the recordings here are all catchy all the time. The band rocks out in an agreeably familiar way, making equal use of country, pop and AOR conventions, and McDonald can hit any note he wants if he's given a running start--as on the romanticised rationalisations of a power ballad called "I'm Already There", this album's bid for a hit. The disc's most surprising moment, "Without You", is also its most disappointing: After a mumbled, emotionally complex verse ("Hurt, cry, pray to die / That's all I've got left to do"), McDonald and his mates suddenly launch into an inexplicably bombastic chorus that sounds like its never even been introduced to its own depressive heart. --David Cantwell
CD Description
The members of Lonestar have created a successful career byapplying their sharp musicianship, super-tight vocal harmonies and squeaky-clean pop stylings to fairly traditional tear-jerking country ballads. I'M ALREADY THERE doesn't break alot of new ground, but showcases the group doing what they do best, on a collection of first-rate material. Lonestar's ace in the hole has always been Richie McDonald's yearning tenor vocals, and this album finds him in top form. McDonald's delivery is pretty unusual, as he is able to simultaneously convey a sense of raw, high lonesome backwoods longing andmodern pure pop sensibility a la Sting or Don Henley. Though the group's greatest strength is still the slow songs, I'MALREADY THERE includes some fine uptempo moments as well, particularly the alternative rock-esque "With Me". Unlike some of it's contemporaries, whose poppier efforts often end upsounding like bad beer commercials, Lonestar infuses just the proper amount of carefree rock attitude into it's country, but never resorts to smarminess, insincerity or cliche.
