Carrie Underwood, winner of season 4 on American Idol, did it again with her third album, "Play On"! Ever since her first album, "Some Hearts", well, yeah, she did win our hearts over and probably made some of us want to listen to country again. Before Taylor Swift, we had Carrie Underwood who made country awesome.

About "Play On", I liked the first song and also the first single released from the album, "Cowboy Casanova" because of how descriptive the lyrics are :"He's a devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes, and he only comes out at night. It's a feeling you don't want to fight, so you better run for your life..." In addition to the vivid lyrics, the song is just as catchy too. The lyrics practically match the tune! The second song, "Quitter" is very easy to relate with. The third song, "Mama's Song" is very touching and it's pretty much an ode to her own mom and a somewhat religious vibe. The fifth song, "Undo It" is pretty much a song that relates to her break-ups and feelings towards some guys. The seventh song, "Songs Like This" is in many ways like Taylor Swift's "Our Song" talking about writing a song and also comes with such a catchy vibe. Listening to that song, I can also relate back to "Before he Cheats" off her first album. The thirteenth (last) song is the title song!

"Play On" which is somewhat true and sometimes in life, you just have to play on!
Overall, I don't think this is Carrie Underwood's best album, in fact, I don't really know which one is her best album. I like how she can use events in her own life, add a catchy tune, and voila, a hit song! She has topped charts ever since she released her first album, won many Country Music Awards (CMA), American Music Awards (AMA), and even won a Grammy. She is worth listening to and that's all I can say.
