Underwood is the greatest (with hits)
Tuesday, December 9, 2014 – Carrie Underwood is out with a few new songs on "Greatest Hits: Decade #1." That would include the hit "Something in the Water" and "Little Toy Guns." The 25-song collection has 18 number one hits plus four songs in unreleased versions. That would include "So Small," "Mama's Song" and "Last Name" in studio session versions.
Cracker is out with "Berkeley To Bakersfield," a double-album of punk and country. David Lowery of the band said, 'On the Berkeley side, we chose to focus this disc on the music we associate with the East Bay: punk and garage with some funky undertones. The Bakersfield disc represents the California countryside of the band. We've dabbled in country and Americana over our career but this time we wanted to pay homage to the particular strain of country and country rock music that emerges from the inland valleys of California."

It makes logical sense that Carrie Underwood, arguably mainstream country music's best pure vocalist, would make a Christmas album. And make no mistake about it, this is a 'Christmas' album, as opposed to a 'holiday' release. These 11 tracks are nearly all spiritual in nature. Therefore, you won't hear about Santa, reindeer or even toys under the tree.
The only truly secular track is "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," which is not – by a long ...
Carrie Underwood's life was reading straight from the storybooks: one of the few American Idol Winners with ongoing success; a professional athlete for a husband; a beautiful baby boy.
