CD Description
In the time since Jessica Andrews was discovered at age 12 by Tim McGraw/Faith Hill producer Byron Gallimore, the Tennessee native won the Academy of Country Music's Top New Female Vocalist award and watched her sophomore effort WHO I AM go gold. For her third album NOW, Gallimore once again teamedup with Andrews to build on prior successes with a solid pop-country outing that finds her singing about faith ("God Don't Give Up On Us"), fun ("Good Time"), and feeling loved ("You're the Man [That Brings the Woman Out of Me]".)
The young country warbler also gets to flex her compositional muscles by not only co-penning the aforementioned "Good Time",but contributing to "There's More to Me Than You", the up-tempo breakout single. Otherwise, Andrews does a fine job in picking material that truly stands out and ranges from the "Tiny Dancer"-like "When Gentry Plays Guitar" and kid-inspired ballad "They Are the Roses" (co-written by '70s singer-songwriter Randy Van Warmer) to the rollicking twangfest "Second Sunday". Along with Jennifer Hanson, Jessica Andrews proves the future of Music Row is in good hands.
