All of 16 when she recorded this debut album, country-pop singer Taylor Swift's considerably strong voice straddles that precarious edge that both suggests experience far beyond her several simultaneously leaves undoubtedly that she's still got a great deal of life to reside. It's a fresh, still girlish voice, packed with hope and naïveté, but it is also a confident and mature one. That Swift can be a talent being reckoned with isn't in doubt: her delivery on tracks such as uptempo "The Outside," the spare acoustic ballad "Mary's Song (Oh My My My)," and also the leadoff track, "Tim McGraw," that was the first single in the album, belongs to a seasoned pro, despite Swift's newcomer status. "Tim McGraw" are often the album's highlight -- not only a teenager's tribute to your country superstar, it instead uses McGraw like a marker in the lover's time line: "When you imagine Tim McGraw/I hope you would imagine my favorite song." It's a device that is used countless times in as much ways, those of associating a failed affair with items, places, the ones, yet it works to be a hook here and is able to come off for an original idea. Swift wrote or co-wrote every song within the record, a rather remarkable feat taking into consideration the sophisticated procedure by which she treats matters near and dear to your heart of 1 her age ("Now that I'm sitting here thinking it through/I've never been anywhere cold as you"). Producer/mentor Nathan Chapman has used on some of Swift's songs a gloss that doesn't all of them really require and in many cases would learn better to shed. But Swift doesn't have trouble overcoming any blandness going down around her. She's create a commendable starter album that's as accomplished each and every by a ten-year veteran who's seen far more road and felt additional emotion. Swift's young age can be a major priority in bringing listeners in, but right at the end of the record she's succeeded to keep them.
