Frankie Ballard - Frankie Ballard

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Frankie Ballard Official Website) Over-produced, self-indulgent and forgettable. Am I channeling my inner Simon Cowell? Maybe, but this album screams of trying too hard to be what someone told him country music is supposed to sound like right now. Not a single song on the disc grabbed me, moved me or made me want to get up and move. The tracks are so generic, down to his corny guitar licks that it was sometimes difficult to tell that the song had changed.

This Keith Urban on Xanax may find some fame by being a carbon copy of every country-rocker in Nashville today, but Frankie Ballard isn't a name country music fans will remember in a few years. He does everything everyone else does, but he doesn't do it better than those already on the air.

Ballard has performed the most unforgettable sin... he came on the scene as a new artist and created an album that sounds like the same crap I've been hearing for years. Where's the originality?

Disappointing. I love hearing new artists, but I heard nothing new today!
