Now Country Ballads (CD)

Country music has always been arguably at its best exploring the highs and lows and in-betweens of the heart, and while much of contemporary country may sound different than the vintage country tracks of decades past, the theme of love and romance gone good or gone bad remains at the center of things, and there isn't anything quite like a country ballad, new or old. This set collects 18 contemporary country ballads, including Shania Twain's soaring "Forever and Always," Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson's duet on "Don't You Wanna Stay," and Sara Evans' "I Could Not Ask for More," among others. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
