Album Of The Day: One Moment More by Mindy Smith

Album Art of Mindy Smith's One Moment More album - It looks like it's a photo of a young woman with shoulder-length hair mostly lit from behind. The background is out of focus, but it looks like just a field with open sky and maybe some trees off to the right. Around the photo is what looks like an illustration that looks like a photo frame, with a decorative brown border around the photo and then green leaf details in the middle and corners of the edges on a wider beige border.

For many years, I said I hated country music. I didn't want to go to a bar with line dancing, and the songs about trucks and girls weren't my thing. But I've learned that I don't hate country music as much as I think. I found the Ken Burns documentary on Country Music to be fascinating. And one album that got me into country about 20 years ago is this debut album by Mindy Smith. She mixes the singer/songwriter, adult contemporary style with just a bit more country than I am used to, and I love it. She talks about the struggles of life, going to God for help, and well, then there's a cover of "Jolene" with an appearance from Dolly Parton just to make sure it is really a country album. Most of the songs are great for a chill, quiet evening, though a few like "Hard To Know" and "Come To Jesus" get a bit more rowdy. The title track is one of my favorite songs from Mindy Smith and is a great closing song. Unfortunately, I never felt that her later albums grabbed me like this album does, for some reason. But I regularly give this album a listen like I am right now.
