I Finally Found Someone in Bloomington, MN

Real life lovers singing duets together in
country
music is nothing new, but this 12-track collection does offer something fresh -- a wide-ranging group of songs from
traditional country
to a bit of
mellow rock
to tender
ballads
.
Lorrie Morgan
's voice is raspy and pleasant and Sammy Kershaw's is distinctively
, and when they come together for their six duets, they sound smooth and melodious. The more notable duets are up-tempo songs and not the standard romantic fare --
"He Drinks Tequila"
describes what a trailer park queen and her hard-working husband do on weekends, and
"3 Seconds"
is how long you have to explain your wrongdoing in a relationship -- are playful and fun. Both artists have three solos each, including a song
Morgan
wrote in just five minutes when she was only 18, the insightful
"I Must Be Gettin' Older,"
and a song with a
rock
edge that
Kershaw
wrote in 15 minutes, titled
"Sugar."
I Finally Found Someone
is a half-decent album, especially for a first-time full-length pairing. ~ Maria Konicki Dinoia
