American Idol's Crystal Bowersox: A True Farmer's Daughter


It's no surprise that Crystal Bowersox decided to release a country album with pop influences post-Idol since that was pretty much her style when she was performing onstage, vying for the top spot against Lee Dewyze.

The American Idol runner-up's debut album, titled Farmer's Daughter, pretty much sums up who is she as a person, as well as the tracks on the album.

Her awesome voice shines on every track and she retains her own musical accompaniment throughout the whole album on her trusty guitar.

Farmer's Daughter, the title track, is a mellow track which ironically has her stating that she doesn't wants to be a farmer's daughter anymore.

My favourites off the album are For What It's Worth, a mid-tempo song with a great beat, which keeps you tapping your toes. Holy Toledo and Arlene are also slower songs which showcases Bowersox's great vocals.

Other songs off the album include fast-paced tracks such as Ridin With The Radio, Lonely Won't Come Around, On The Run, Kiss Ya, as well as slower ones like Hold On, Speak Now, Mine All Mine and Mason.

Great effort for another Idol alumni who is also another great addition to country pop.


The author first listened to Crystal Bowersox's awesome voice on American Idol, and was torn between supporting her or Lee Dewyze to win the coveted crown.
