Lonestar

Lonestar's ninth long player furthers the band's foray into wholesome heartland themes revolving around faith, family and forgiveness, but their inspirational harmonies, catchy country pop hooks and middle American good looks keep things fresher than a prairie of wildflowers. In other words, the musicians stick with the philanthropic themes and Arcadian anthems that make them Lonestar, but manage just enough contemporary tricks to avoid coming off as an idealistic throwback to the age old values of Andy Griffith's hometown of Mayberry, North Carolina.
