Sugarland is a shot at the big-time for a trio of singer/songwriters who have languished on the outskirts of country and folk for the better part of a decade. Kristen Hall had a career of her own as a recording artist, Kristian Bush was in Billy Pilgrim, and Jennifer Nettles is the new discovery, previously fronting Soul Miner's Daughter, who never had recorded. With her powerful, soulful voice sounding a bit like a mainstream, country-oriented Shelby Lynne, Nettles is the frontwoman in Sugarland, and she gives the trio sex and commercial appeal, turning the professionally crafted songs on the group's debut, Twice the Speed of Life, into something that's charmingly mainstream. Hall may have been stuck playing in the folk circuit and Bush may have had little more than a cult following, but both have considerable skills as writers, crafting sturdy, melodic songs reminiscent of a streamlined, pop-ready, less quirky Dixie Chicks. If there's any flaw with Twice the Speed of Life, it's that it plays it a little too safe, fitting too comfortably into the confines of contemporary country radio, but it does its job so well, it's hard to complain. Besides, once Sugarland finds an audience with this debut, the group will be able to stretch out on the second record. Based on how solid Twice the Speed of Life is, they'll likely find fans who will be eager to hear how they grow. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Crossroads amazing concert!
Agree totally with Greenberg, PA that I would love to buy a DVD of the Crossroads concert with Sugarland and Bonjovi - magic combination!

  A reviewer from bozeman, mt

trying to figure out how Jennifer says "coffee cup" when singing "something more"...... keep it up.

  Kevin Bolland from Auckland New Zealand
A must have CD
Jennifer,s voice has so much to offer,and along with Kristen,s song writing, this is one of the most refreshing albums I have heard in a long time.

  Helene Edelstein from Brooklyn, NY
Wonderful
I love this group very much. Jennifer has a wonderful voice and I love her music. If I'm upset or depressed all I have to do is put on this cd and it helps me with the rest of the day. It gets me in a very happy mood just hearing it. I usually wind up playing it over and over again. I hope I don't wear out the cd.

The are great singers. My 3 year old daughter just loves them we took her to her first concert near house in Albany New York when she opened up for Alan Jackson and My daughter Katilyn was just in aw when they hit the stage . She knows all the words to Give Me Something More and ever time it comes on the radio or TV she sings along with the song . i think u guys are just great .Thank you for letting my 3 year old be such a big fan of yours.

Please Please Please do a DVD or CD of the Sugarland/Bon Jovi Crossroads Program. It was absolutely awesome. I was not much of a Bon Jovi Fan Sugarland was new to me, but I am hooked on that pairing. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE save me from these withdrawal symptoms.

  Alice Felton from E. Yaphank, Long Island
Fantastico
This group is excellent...their sound magnificent..I was not into country music until this year and a group like this could keep me in it 4ever. Jen Nettles is fantastic and her duo with Bon Jovi whose music I loved since the 80's is Grrrrreat.

  alexis from louisville,ky
it's cool
it was the best cd i ever heard in my whole life.

  A reviewer from Lake Station,Indiana
Love the music!
When I first heared the Sugarland CD was out, I went and bought it. I have 4 favorite songs on it. Out of the four, my most favorite is called Small Town Jericho...it made me cry from remembering my two best friends, Shakyla and Melissa. I still listen to it and it never gets old, so I rated it with the best of 5 stars.

  A reviewer from Soso MS
sugarland
I really like Sugarland. They have a great sound and alot of energy. I LOVE Bon Jovi and I thought " who said you can't go home" was awesome. I watch their episode of crossroads very time I catch it on. I'm a Mississippi girl so of course I love the song " down in Ms" :) Keep it rockin guys!!

  Kay Meyers from Reno Nevada

  A reviewer from Maryland
Ditto, would like a DVD of Sugarland/Bon Jovi.
Would like to see a DVD of the Sugarland/Bon Jovi concert.

  A reviewer from Jarratt, VA
MAGNIFICIENT SUGARLAND AND BON JOVI
At 61, having grown up on Elvis, Rickey Nelson, et al, I've always been a fan of Bon Jovi, having every thing they've put out that you can get your hands on, which ain't easy. Always listened to country music because of parents, as well. Bon Jovi's pairing with Jennifer Nettles brought that group to my attention. I'm pretty diverse in my listening pleasures from Aerosmith, to Rolling Stones to Vince Gill and Allison Kraus. I think that voice of Jennifer Nettles is going to keep that girl busy for many, many years to come, if she wants it. She has style and a great personality. You go girl. Good Luck and Best wishes. Of course will go to any Bon Jovi concert that get's into my area and will also go to yours. They look like fun.

  A reviewer from Buffalo, NY
Best Country Rock Yet
Great sound and Nettles is easy on the eyes.

  A reviewer from Lansing, KS
