I Finally Found Someone

Amazon.com
This is familiar ground for Lorrie Morgan and Sammy Kershaw, who first sang together to appease a restive crowd at a 1981 George Jones "no-show" in Louisiana and later made cameo appearances on each other's albums. Morgan remains one of her generation's most underrated singers. Kershaw, 2000's dreadful album of pop covers notwithstanding, can lay it on the line when he chooses. On this collection of six duets and three solo tunes apiece, that happens too rarely. The title track comes from those down-home country songwriters Bryan Adams, Marvin Hamlisch, R.J. Lange, and Barbra Streisand. "He Drinks Tequila" qualifies as one more cookie-cutter ditty about--guess what? Neither can match the heart and substance of the playful "3 Seconds," "Be My Reason," and "That's Where I'll Be," a Morgan-Kershaw original. Morgan's solos on the thoughtful "29 Again" and "I Must Be Gettin' Older" reveal her depth and passion are intact. Kershaw, however, can't shake his pop obsession, reflected by a dull solo rendition of the grossly overrecorded "What a Wonderful World." The inane "Sugar," a Kershaw original, sounds like an early-'90s Billy Ray Cyrus outtake. Between the wide disparity in material and the mixture of duets and solo numbers, the entire album has an uneven, slapped-together feel. These two deserve better. --Rich Kienzle

A Great Duet Team.......2007-01-06

I was amazed at the outstanding mix of talent between these two singers. They easily rival such duets as Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. If you enjoy country singers and love songs, you will have to have this CD.

When they were happy together.......2004-01-05

This album was recorded when Lorrie and Sammy were a happy couple. They had an acrimonious divorce a couple of years later so it seems unlikely that they ever collaborate musically again, although (to quote the title of a Ronnie Milsap song) stranger things have happened. The album contains six duets, three Lorrie solos and three Sammy solos.

The title track is one of the duets and is a cover of a song that was originally recorded by Barbra Streisand and Bryan Adams. It clearly reflects Lorrie and Sammy's relationship at the time, as do the other duet ballads, I can't think of anything but you, Be my reason and That's where I'll be.. He drinks tequila is an up-tempo, fun song to get those toes tapping. Even more fun is the closing duet, 3 seconds, which takes a light-hearted look at infidelity and is reminiscent of Porter and Dolly's duets of thirty years earlier, particularly Run that by me one more time.

Lorrie's solos are Big time (a fine up-tempo song), 29 again (a thoughtful song in which Lorrie deludes herself about her age on her birthday) and I must be getting older (another excellent reflective song). Sammy's solos are What a wonderful world (a cover a classic song - not everybody likes Sammy's cover, but I do), Sad city (a lonesome ballad) and Sugar (an up-tempo rocking song).

This is a fine example of contemporary country at the start of the new millennium.

The Best Yet.......2002-11-01

I think this is one of the best CD's to ever come out. Both Lorrie and Sammy are just great and every song is done with such passion. Of course my favorite is My Reason. It's so true. Everyone needs someone and I am very happy they found each other. Keep up the great work.

Corporate love.......2002-10-08

I've seen Lorrie Morgan live, and liked her stuff. I've always wanted to hear what Sammy Kershaw was like, so this seemed like the album to get. Boy, does the record company marketing department have me pegged. I guess if your a fan of either one of them, you're going to buy this, and maybe even like it, but I find, with a few exceptions, that this is a slappped together effort to get record sales more than decent effort at releasing some good work.

For the most part, the slow numbers are lame and don't move me in the slightest as being a memorable love song. The exception is "29 Again", which is thoughtful, but that's about it. The Kershaw solo of "What a Wonderful World" adds nothing to the song, and can be done just a well as any lounge singer. Sorry country fans, but the recent Joey Ramone version at least tries to put some life into a song that you would think is unwreckable.

There are two numbers that stand out, and if they had gone in that direction, we might have had something here. After five klunkers, "He Drinks Tequilla" is a spirited tune done by people who finally make me think that two people that like each other are singing it. Same goes for the closer "3 Seconds", where we have the lovebirds already preparing their future alibis. With, let's see, about 37 marriages between them, they both sound like they're singing from the heart on this one.

I'm not a hard-core country fan, but I do have a big liking for Dwight Yoakam, Steve Earle, and there is a mental altar of Johnny Cash in my mind. But I found a lyric in "Be My Reason" that I find quaint. The title is self-explanatory, and for the man's side, he is looking for a reason for life that goes BEYOND things like job promotions. On the female side, the HIGHEST need she sings about is that a woman "needs a reason to paint her lips and do her hair". She gets that, and her frying pan and mop, and boy, that's living!

Lorrie and Sammy at their finest?.......2002-06-26

I've owned this CD since it came out over a year ago and I just decided to start posting reviews on this CD, among others. Lorrie has such a pure distinct voice that it's a shame she is without a doubt one of the most underrated country singers of all time. Sammy also has such a distinct voice and I find the two are able to pull off an amazing duet. So good, that a CD chocked full of duets was no problem for these two. 'He Drinks Tequila' obviously steals the album as far as the 'fun & fast' song goes while 'I Finally Found Someone' holds the 'slow ballad' of sorts top spot. Other lead songs include 3 Seconds, 29 Again, Sad City, Big Time, & Sugar. Overall, I rate it 4 out of 5 stars simply because Sammy's voice seems to be lacking in a few of the solo songs. It's a must have for either Sammy fans or Lorrie fans.
