Taylor Swift Album #4: b/c its been a bajillion weeks & the album is STILL charting!
 The self-titled, multi-platinum debut that proved she's more than just a pretty face.  Her debut, Taylor Swift, released by the upstart indie label Big Machine, has sold more than 2.5 million copies, thanks to an unmistakably Generation Y sound that mixes the admissions and complaints of emo—and even a little hip-hop swagger—with plucked banjos and sawing fiddles. She plays country, the last genre that actually sells records... ..she’s not only proven her songwriting skills, she’s also honed a crack live show while opening for stars twice her age, including Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley. ~ Blender  (^ deluxe cover) 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 years and simultaneously leaves no doubt that she's still got a lot of life to live. It's a fresh, still girlish voice, full of hope and naïveté, but it's also a confident and mature one. That Swift is a talent to be reckoned with is never in doubt: her delivery on tracks like the uptempo "The Outside," the spare acoustic ballad "Mary's Song (Oh My My My)," and especially the leadoff track, "Tim McGraw," which was the first single from the album, is that of a seasoned pro, despite Swift's newcomer status. "Tim McGraw" may also be the album's highlight — not a teenager's tribute to the country superstar, it instead uses McGraw as a marker in a lover's time line: "When you think Tim McGraw, I hope you think my favorite song." ...Swift wrote or co-wrote every song on the record, a fairly remarkable feat considering the sophisticated manner in which she treats matters near and dear to the heart of one her age ("Now that I'm sitting here thinking it through, I've never been anywhere cold as you"). ..She's come up with a commendable starter album that's as accomplished as any by a ten-year veteran who's seen a lot more road and felt a lot more emotion. Swift's young age may be a major point of interest in bringing listeners in, but by the end of the record she's succeeded in keeping them. ~ All Music Guide(3.5 of 5 stars)  Tim McGraw - Picture to Burn - Teardrops on My Guitar - A Place in This World - Cold as You Lyrics - The Outside - Tied Together with a Smile - Stay Beautiful - Should've Said No - Mary's Song (Oh My My My) - Our Song Bonuses from the Deluxe version: I'm Only Me When I'm with You - Invisible - A Perfectly Good Heart  Tim McGraw (2006) ♫ Teardrops on My Guitar (2007) ♫ Our Song (2007) ♫ Picture to Burn (2008) ♫ Should've Said No (2008) ♫
