Kellie Pickler's third studio release 100 Proof is what I call homage to what country music is, banjo,fiddle,steel guitar,and just plain dirty good. It's the traditional sound I grew up on and still love these days. The opening track "Where's Tammy Wynette" truly reminds us of the days of the great female artist of country music, Tammy Wynette. Where's Tammy Wynette builds the albums core for other tracks to follow, on the track "Unlock That Honky Tonk" oozes raw grit and gusto, I hear a hit single, country radio listen up!! the song will blow the roof off in country music. "The Little House On The Highway" takes you back and reminds you of those good ole days when life was easy and carefree, you'll be dancing around the room. "Stop Cheatin' On Me On" sounds like a woman scorned, but that's just country music, Pickler gives it straight. "Tough" the first single release is autobiographical to Kellie's real life of living tough, we need to be tough when life calls us to be.On the ballad tracks "Long As I Never See You Again", "100 Proof", "Mother's Day" and "The Letter (To Daddy)" are reflections of who Kellie Pickler is and the woman she's become, Pickler is more than tough around the edges she's truly passionate at heart,give her your heart she'll hold it close to her. Although guarded Kellie Pickler doesn't stray from her uncensored fiesty self. Kellie Pickler is just who she is,purely authentic. Kellie Pickler's story continues to unfold and we hear more of Kellie on the track "Rockaway (The Rockin' Chair Song)". It is songs like these that will have you pulling out old eight tracks and vinyl's of artists past. 100 Proof will clearly make it into the history charts and the hearts of her fans.
