Saw TGD in Cookson and loved it. I got the new CD and am impressed. Love the new album! Can;t wait until the next one. Seeing them live is even better!
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
I used to think this band sucked until I heard their new CD with the new leadsinger. Now they sound like a band, with talent. I would have given it 10 stars if I could. Great album all the way around.
This CD was terrible - new front man needs to go back up North..
Without McClure - I think their doomed...
total waste of money.
One star was the lowest the pull down menu would let me give them or it would have been a ZERO.
Over the course of the past 10 years, The Great Divide went from popular Oklahoma/Texas band to a couple of Nashville labels and back to Oklahoma again. Shortly after their last album, 2002's "Remain" CD, The Great Divide parted ways with previous front man Mike McClure. The remaining band members, Drummer JJ Lester, guitarist/volalist Scotte Lester and bassist Kelly Green welcomed new lead guitarist and primary vocalist Micah Aills into the fold.
While any change as difficult as one which sees the changing of lead vocalists usually is met with poor results, The Great Divide really seem to be more of a complete band here. They collectively chose the songs for the record and after being absent from lead vocal parts for over two albums, Scotte Lester returns to lead a few tracks here. Micah's vocals have more range than McClure's while also retaining a hint of the grittiness that drew me to the band to begin with. Lead single "Crazy In California" is as good as anything on country radio, while "Scared Of Heights" ponders why people are content to stay where they are. Scotte's vocals on "Can't Call It Cheatin'" are superb while two Chris Knight tracks, "She's Leavin' This Town," and "Love And Gasoline" fit the Great Divide like a glove.
"Under Your Own Sun" is proof positive that a band can weather the tumultuous lead singer/guitarist change and come out as a better band for it.
Bought TGD's new album at the show in Weatherford and can't stop listening to it. The Plan is the best song I've heard in a long time. The entire album is incredible. What a great record.
Saw TGD in Cookson for the first time. They kick any bands as out there and the new album is the best I've heard. New fan for life.
great cd! I am impressed. I was a little leary at first but couldn't have been more wrong. GREAT CD!
sucks...............wow.....really sucks
