Terri Clark

Amazon.com
The first thing you notice about Terri Clark is what a special voice this young woman has. When she asks the title question, "Is Fort Worth Worth It," for example, she grabs hold of the dramatic ballad melody and fills it with an alto voice so big it reverberates inside a held note. On this song, Clark plays the role of a woman saying goodbye to a man leaving her for someone else, and she manages to balance the heartbreak of an abandoned lover with the dignity of a survivor in a carefully nuanced performance. Clark never stoops to tear-jerking melodrama; she sings with the natural reluctance and controlled intensity of a jilted lover who refuses to give her ex the satisfaction of a scene. In other words, Clark is more than just a good voice; she's a singer. This is not an album with two singles and a bunch of filler; every title boasts a tune so insistent you can't help humming along and a story so clear you can't wait to hear what happens next. --Geoffrey Himes

It's unfortunate that Terri Clark gained her highest chart debut with "Girls Lie Too," a hideously cartoonish song that perpetuates stereotypes about the sexes and, by its success, about country music fans. Clark, a Canadian tomboy in a rakish and attitudinal cowboy hat, has always played on her image as an independent female yearning for a relationship as strong as her personality. That worked well on a number of early songs, especially "Better Things to Do" and on the new "One of the Guys." But clearly she's yearned to expand her subject matter, and in recording songs co-written with Kim Richey, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and Mary Chapin Carpenter (a live version of their "No Fear" appears here), she nurtured the questioning side of her inner singer-songwriter. Clark has never really fit any kind of niche, and one suspects she's now caught between trying to stay alive commercially and satisfying herself as an artist. Greatest Hits is a colorful road map to the first 10 years of her journey, even as she seems to be doubling back on certain stretches of that highway. --Alanna Nash

Kickin Canadian Country.......2007-06-13

This album is an excellent compiliation of Terri Clark tunes. This is excellent mainstream country. First off, Terri has a voice with an accent and has also a kind of rough [but not at all in a bad way] quality that is perfect for this kind of music. The instruments play country music but with a rockish edge at times when needed. Lots of good songs. Here they are:

Better Things to Do - a sassy tune telling a guy that she is over him and moved on

When Boy Meets Girl - a boy is about to discover love

Poor Poor Pitiful Me - good Terri take on the Zevon tune

Emotional Girl - good, fast. The singer tells a guy to realize she's got passion and he better be ready to handle it.

You're Easy on the Eyes - kinda gritty and a bit randy. The singer is physically attracted to a hot guy but is remembering that he is trouble otherwise.

Little Gasoline - singer is driving away from some junk in her past and is enjoying freedom.

I Wanna Do It All - uptempo number about living life full bore

Girls Lie Too - Once the listener accepts that this song is not meant to be taken seriously, then it's humorous. It's about women also making excusing and massaging guys' egos with little white lies at times. Not sexist, just joshing.

One of the Guys - singer isn't a pretty, fragile thing. She can hang out with the boys and do the "rough stuff" too.

Very good compilation album of contemporary female country. It helped me get into listening to more country in addtion to the rock and pop I glomed onto as a kid.

A Decade of Terri Clark.......2006-07-28

Terri Clark is a four-time winner of Canadian country music's prestigious "Entertainer of the Year" award. Greatest Hits 1994-2004 is a retrospective of Terri's career and includes 14 of her biggest hits, making this a great album for any fan of country music. From the first song, "Better Things To Do," to the last, "No Fear," listening to this album is like following Clark along on her journey from her early start to the top of the country music charts.

Guts, beauty, a cowgirl hat, and pure Raw talent!!.......2006-04-26

Terri Clark deffinately showed NO FEAR when it came to putting this cd together. Terri untimately shows that she can hang with ONE OF THE GUYS, with her tomboyish looks, and her guitar slinging, her sexy cowgirl hat that truely makes her EASY ON THE EYES! EVERTYIME I CRY, the heavy- hitting domestic violence song, Shows Terri's passion for womans rights. EMOTIONAL GIRL shows that Terri can be sensitive, as well as getting on with her life in BETTER THINGS TO DO, without saying POOR POOR PITIFUL ME (penned by the late/great Warren Zevon, also remade by the beautiful and talented Linda Ronstadt) shhhh, don't tell, Terri's version was much better. NOW THAT I FOUND this cd, I find that GIRLS LIE TOO, really? THAT I WANNA DO IT ALL, and I JUST WANNA BE MAD for a while. It didn't take A LITTLE GASOLINE, but alot of time and effort from Terri for each one of these beautifully presented songs. So IF I WERE YOU, I'd buy this cd. Before the next BOY MEETS GIRL.

Amazon.com

Don't expect any surprises from Life Goes On, this mostly uptempo showcase for one of modern country's more buoyant singers. After all, Terri Clark's made a 10-year career of wrapping her big-boned voice around stories of dreamers, lovers, and the heartbroken and turning them into hits, expertly and brightly accompanied by crack session musicians. Nonetheless, there are some outstanding performances here. The title track and "Damn Right" are pure pop, the former a catchy nod to the joys of life's Zen-like surprises, the latter a rhyme-packed ditty about an ex-lover. "I Wish He'd Been Drinkin' Whiskey" veers into classic tear-in-your-beer territory with its sobering tale of a split-up. The autobiographical piano ballad "Travelin' Soul" waxes about the joys and insecurities that come with the pursuit of dreams and gives Clark a chance to explore the soft side of her singing. She stays in heartbreak territory for the Dobro-and-acoustic-guitar-charged "Everybody's Gotta Go Sometime" and the stomping "Tear It All Down." And "Slow News Days" is one of her rare topical numbers, gently admonishing our media-mad culture and urging people to look to their hearts rather than the headlines for what's best about humanity. --Ted Drozdowski

fairly good.......2006-02-23

This pretty Canadian is back with a Honky-Tonk-bar-tequila-and-whisky album. All in all a perfect blend of traditional and more modern tunes, very fashionable at the moment, as in "Life Goes On" the album's hit. I fell for "Cowboy Days" giving plenty of room to instruments and first-class musicians like Glenn Worf on the bass, Brent Mason on the guitar, Paul Franklin on the steel guitar or Stuart Duncan on the fiddle. A band we really feel like listening to. With well-composed and rhythmical items and we find ourselves caught in the atmosphere of a saloon. Also the superb "Honky Tonk Song" or the splendid ballad "Traveling Soul". A rich and varied repertoire led by a powerful voice of which I am not a big fan though. Well, that's true, I regret that the vocal melodies on the more rhythmical songs tend to sound very much the same. It's a pity, but still, Terry Clark has managed to make herself known along the years as a great name of country music. It's no wonder then that Terry was chosen as the best female singer at the French Country Music Awards in 2003. She is reaching musical maturity and will no doubt stay on top of the charts.

Another Canadian cross-over cowgirl.......2006-01-19

Shania's got company! Here comes another Canadian beauty with a country heart and a crossover urge, which she satisfies on some of the tracks on this album.

With seven albums under her studded belt, Terri Clark has been around the country music scene since 1995, singing about love, loss, tears and lies, with all the usual trimmings, but on this album she lets loose with some pop, some honky tonk and a lot of energy.

Leading off with the pop-country "Life Goes On" the album launches itself with a blast, and just keeps going from there. Songs to remember are first single "She Didn't Have Time"; the toe tappin' "Cowboy Days"; the hi-energy and very funny "Honky Tonk Song"; the mellow "Travelin' Soul"; "Damn Right" and "Tear It All Down".

Maybe not classic country, but a fun, upbeat album for easy listening and a little boot stompin'

Terri is the Master!.......2006-08-30

As a master songwriter in her own right, it is an honor well deserved for Terri to be included in the 20th Century Masters Millennium Collection. She also has a killer voice and great musical and instrumental talent to boot (no punt intended!)

Although this is a great collection of songs for those who do not have Terri's albums, it is also great for the collector as the song "The World Needs a Drink" is finally available on an album instead of a random download.

Curiously missing from this collection of "Best of" songs? "Better Things to Do!" How strange for a song that was her first hit (it peaked on the charts at the #2 position) and one that those not as familiar with country music can easily recognize when you sing a line.

The other big hit that is also (thankful) included on this "Best of" collection is "Girls Lie Too," a number one hit that solidified her as the stand out strong-willed cowgirl among a sea of today's blond-aired Barbie doll country chicks.

As the label insert rightful says...Terri is "the real deal"...and one to be admired for her gutsy 10+ year career.

Congrats, Terri, you are THE best of the best!

Everyone else...Pick up the collection and find out why!!

While Terri Clark's first two albums were solid affairs, they too often placed this Canadian in the position of living up to an "Emotional Girl" image with emotionally superficial material. How I Feel, though, takes a significant step forward with smart anthems of survival and soaring, plainspoken ballads that are more likely to express complex emotions than to simply proclaim them. The spunky "You're Easy on the Eyes" sounds like her playful earlier hits, while "I'm Alright" and the bluesy "Getting Even with the Blues" place her music somewhere between the traditionalism of Patty Loveless and the singer-songwriter pop of Mary-Chapin Carpenter. Even accounting for the clichéd and treacly sentiments that appear on the album's closing tracks, this is easily Clark's best album yet. --David Cantwell

Customer Reviews:

Terri's Third album.......2003-09-25

Terri Clark's third album HOW I FEEL is my favorite Terri Clark album. The album had many hits, such as the beautiful ballad "Now That I Found You", the uptempo rocker "You're Easy On The Eyes", and other songs like "Every Time I Cry", "Unsung Hero". "Unsung Hero" is a cover of a Tina Arena song, and Terri does it justice, it was a single only in Canada. "Every Time I Cry" has a serious subject matter, about spousal abuse. Terri wrote a number of these songs and they are great. She also manages a great cover of Kim Richey's "I'm Alright", which stands as one of the best on the album. The title track is a nice midtempo country song. The album is very country, unashamed, and that's what's refreshing about it. Around this time Faith and Shania were crossing over, and Terri was keeping it country. Other highlights include "Not Getting Over You", "This Ol Heart", "Till I Get There" and more.

Terri Clark - How I Feel.......2003-01-28

Terrific. First of all, she has a very distinctive voice that you couldn't compare to any other with the exception maybe of that of Patty Loveless. Nevertheless, this is her best album. While her previous efforts showed Terri has a tough and proud woman unafraid of any man, this set shows her a little softer and, I guess, more mature musically. The song that made me buy this CD is the first single, "Now That I've Found You", which was contemporary enough to get her into Billboard's Top 3 but still had enough emotion and I thought it was quite better than most of the songs at no. 1 around that time. There are better songs on this set, though, like the traditional Melba Montgomery-written song, "Cure For The Common Heartache", "Unsung Hero". Another single that did it for me here is the rockin' "You're Easy On The Eyes" ("but hard on the heart"). All songs are top-rate. She's a great singer and this is a great album, her best actually.

Feels Like A Winner.......2002-07-28

After two albums that admittedly sounded a little too much like the other for their own good, Terri Clark takes a slightly different approach for her third set, and the ensuing outcome results in her best album up to that point. HOW I FEEL doesn't completely abandon Clark's affinity for uptempo radio fare(the superb 'Everytime I Cry' and the opposingly bad 'You're Easy On The Eyes'), but she also thinks outside the narrow confines of typical Nashville fare, offering up Patty Loveless-inspired hardcore country('Cure For The Common Heartache') and more than doing justice to Kim Richey's excellent 'I'm Alright'. The set also showcases her richest, most unaffected vocal work to date, particularly on the low key 'Now That I Found You' and 'That's How I Feel'. An excellent set-up for her impending fourth(and best)effort FEARLESS.

Luv it.......2002-03-10

It's country, rocky, and bluesy all in one. Fun tunes like "Your Easy on the Eyes" combined with ballads like "I'm Alright" combined with "Now That I found You" along so many others. It's hard to catorigize. It comes off as an "I lost in love; I found love; and I lost love again" type album. One of my favorites because of the different styles on one album.

Best Album.......2001-07-09

How I Feel is Terri's best album. She expresses so many emotions and feelings, and does it rather tastefully and well. "Now That I Found You" is a beautiful ballad which should be a favorite at weddings and for couples. "I'm Alright" should have been a single, about rebounding from the fall of a relationship. The album is quite country, but its excellent. "Easy On The Eyes" is one of those fun songs people will instantly love and sing along with. "Everytime I Cry" is a honest song about domestic abuse, a definite highlight here. "Getting Even With The Blues", "Not Getting Over You", and "Cure For The Common Heartache" all share similar theme, but both showcase the emotional outpouring of Terri muscially, and emotionally. "This Ol Heart" and "That's Me Not Loving You" are very country, but some of the best material she's done along with most of this album. The album closes nicely with the cover of the Tina Arena hit "Unsung Hero" which was a single in Canada, very inspiring. Terri takes you on an emotional journey with this cd, its her best album and a must have.

While Nashville's unwritten rules say Terri Clark should just recycle her spunky-yet-slight early hits, she has instead grown more willing to reject New Country formula with each new album. On 2000's Fearless, she eschews the overinflated production and nervous energy of most current country in favor of arrangements that are frequently nothing more than her voice backed by acoustic midtempo rhythm tracks. And her songs, cowritten with folks like Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kim Richey, and Beth Nielsen Chapman, have her experimenting with a shoe-gazing angst and have a downright singer-songwriter feel. All interesting developments, but often foiled by vocals that can be oddly tentative, lyrics that search only hard enough to discover different clichés, and stripped-down arrangements that go nowhere. Still, cuts like the easy-rocking "Getting There," where the journey beats the destination, and the spare, closing "Good Mother," where "Be yourself" is repeated like a mantra, hint Clark may still have something substantial to offer, even if it hasn't completely come out yet. --David Cantwell

Great achievement.......2003-09-25

This album was sorely overlooked by critics and country radio. The album got some press here in Canada, and had a few hits, but didn't even make the slightest of a mark in the US. Which is a shame, because FEARLESS is her most mature effort in her career so far. The songwriting is personal and endearing, the music is great. She actually worked with Mary Chapin Carpenter on a few songs, and throws in a few covers. She covers the classic Emmylou Harris song "Easy From Now On" (which Emmylou sings backing vocals on) and also does a very stripped back acoustic version of Jann Arden's hit "Good Mother" (which has Jann on background/harmony vocals). The album had a few singles: "A Little Gasoline", "No Fear", "Empty" and "Getting There". "No Fear" was the biggest hit, a song she used as the theme for the Special Olympics in Canada. "Empty" is a very bare and acoustic ballad that is beautiful, and "Getting There" has a lot of humor and truthness to it. Perhaps, to me at least, the most poignant song is "Midnight's Gone", a song about feeling trapped and held back in a small town even though you have these dreams. "Sometimes Goodbye" is another favorite, great lyrics and message, and it could have been a great single. The album is very sparse in its arrangements, very laid back and acoustic for the most part. Other highlights include "The Real Thing", "Take My Time" and more.

Fearless.......2003-01-13

As an album by countyr singer Terri Clark, this is one of the better albums by her. why because it is not only the cathcy tunes on the album, but also her insight into the human condition and relationship of man & woman. But the maturity of behind her voice which she sing especially on EMPTY, and the ultimate kiss-off song A LITTLE GASOLINE and the NO FEAR song also.

Brilliant Work.......2002-12-06

I don't have enough good things to say about this C.D. other than that I have proably over-listened to it. In truth, it really fits into its own genre. It isn't overly poppy and laced with obnoxious background vocals and annoying harmonies, yet it isn't twangy and George-Straitish like her previous work. It's cool and hip; and the songs are arranged well enough to prevent the album from becoming tedious. Some of the songs have very inspiring lyrics, but what is important about this album is the unique tambour of Terri's voice and the music itself. You can tell that the woman behind all of this has quite a sharp mind.

No Fear.......2002-03-10

This album is one of healing. No Fear, Empy, To Tell You Everything, and Good Mother are some examples of songs that helped me through rough times. A very artistic and honest album. True to who Terri is. It's a Terri Clark thang!!!

The Canadian Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year for three years running, Terri Clark isn't even close to anyone's idea of a diva. With Pain to Kill, her fifth collection of songs, she returns to her more upbeat side after the introspective nature of her previous set, Fearless. Here she proves that she's a take-no-prisoners type of woman who isn't afraid to have a strong side and tell you exactly what she thinks, while making sure to keep it country. Fans of Mary Chapin Carpenter and, perhaps, Emmylou Harris, may find a lot to like here as Clark in many ways, including vocally, takes a cue from their renowned mix of assertiveness, humanity, and winning melodies. --Jim Caligiuri

She is an inspiration to me and i cant wait to see what she has in store next..i love the song on her new cd " pain to kill" called "called to say goodbye"..

Pain to kill.......2003-09-25

Terri Clark's newest album is truly a treat. Her first album in three years, Terri made a big comeback with the first single "I Just Wanna Be Mad". The song went to #1, and so far in 2003 as I write this, it is the only song by a female country singer to go to #1 on Billboard. "Three Mississippi" is a great song that didn't get as much attention as a single, but her new single "I Wanna Do It All" is getting lots of airplay and is destined to be a hit. The album is more country, than her last album FEARLESS which was more acoustic and raw in its sound and structure. Terri only co-wrote 5 of the 12 songs here but it's a great album nonetheless. The album is truly one of her strongest, right up there with 1998's HOW I FEEL if you ask me. The songs are fairly empowering, songs like "Three Mississippi", "Almost Gone", "God And Me", "Working Girl", and more. My favorites include "God And Me", "I Wanna Do it All", "Pain To Kill", "Better than You", "I Just Called To Say Goodbye" and "Three Mississippi". A great album overall.

When she asks the title question, "Is Fort Worth Worth It," for example, she grabs hold of the dramatic ballad melody and fills it with an alto voice so big it reverberates inside a held note. On this song, Clark plays the role of a woman saying goodbye to a man leaving her for someone else, and she manages to balance the heartbreak of an abandoned lover with the dignity of a survivor in a carefully nuanced performance. Clark never stoops to tear-jerking melodrama; she sings with the natural reluctance and controlled intensity of a jilted lover who refuses to give her ex the satisfaction of a scene. In other words, Clark is more than just a good voice; she's a singer. This is not an album with two singles and a bunch of filler; every title boasts a tune so insistent you can't help humming along and a story so clear you can't wait to hear what happens next. --Geoffrey Himes

Brilliant debut album of twangy country music.......2005-07-08

Many excellent female singers have emerged from Canada including Diana Krall, Joni Mitchell, Shania Twain, Anne Murray - and Terri Clark. Terri will never be as famous as the others I've mentioned but her brand of country music is very enjoyable. Terri's music is essentially traditional but updated to appeal to a contemporary fan base. In this, she follows the example of singers such as George Strait and Alan Jackson, though Terri's style is all her own. The musicians on this album play drums, electric bass, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, steel guitar, Lap steel guitar, piano, fiddle, mandolin, tic tac bass and cowbell. All the songs are originals and most of them feature Terri as writer or co-writer. Tom Shapiro and Chris Waters also made significant songwriting contributions.

The album opens with a brilliant, upbeat song (Better things to do) in which Teri makes clear that she doesn't have time for a former lover. Terri sounds defiant but her list of better things to do is unconvincing, so it's up to the listener to decide if she really means it. The next song (If I were you) finds Terri advising another woman to stay true to her husband, explaining that the single life is not all that it's cracked up to be. Next comes a song (Catch 22) that all too many people will relate to - about not being able to win whatever you do.

Terri worries about her man being faithful (Is Fort Worth it), tells us about how life changes in adolescence (When boy meets girl), fantasises about a cowboy (Tying a heart to a tumbleweed), remembers poorer times when passion was strong (When we had it bad), tells a cautionary tale about a philanderer (Suddenly single) and tells a former lover that he's not welcome back (Flowers after the fact). Terri appears to contradict herself (The inside story) by missing a former lover but returns to the unfaithful man theme (Was there a girl on your boys' night out) before closing the album with a message to a former lover (Something you should've said).

So there are plenty of great songs here in an album that should satisfy all but the most die-hard traditional country fans.

Treading In Clark's Brand Of Country.......2002-07-28

Terri Clark's eponymous debut announced her as one of the more promising female artists on the country scene in the mid-nineties, thanks in large part to her distinctive voice and knack for extremely catchy, if sometimes lightweight, material.
That doesn't mean Clark didn't have her lyrical moments here--her opening 'Better Things To Do' showed, at the least, her possession of a slightly clever, humorous streak, and 'If I Were You' showed she was more than capable of handling a first-rate ballad. The one minor downside here is that the majority of the uptempo material has a too-familiar sameness to it that doesn't always allow for immediate distinction. Otherwise, this set remained one of the better debuts of the mid-decade.

Wow! This is country music at its best! Terri Clark is one of my favorite country singers. I love 'Better Things To Do, When Boy Meets Girl, and Flowers After The Fact.' I like the accent in her voice, too. She is so fun and energetic! I'd recommend this album!

"Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" is the first single from Terri Clark's Just the Same, but the arrangement is so close to the 1978 hit version that the song makes her seem like just another Linda Ronstadt imitator--and Clark is more special than that. A far better example of her strengths is "Emotional Girl." From the title, you might expect a weepy ballad, but from the first rocking guitar riff, it's a swaggering challenge to any male who would cope with her uninhibited feelings. Clark is not about poetry, irony, and social commentary; she's about the sort of wisecracking, in-your-face country-rockers that have traditionally been a male domain. When she tells an overeager lover to "Hold Your Horses," the grit in her voice implies that she's not opening negotiations but drawing a line in the sand. --Geoffrey Himes

"I Never Could Do Anything With Half My Heart".......2007-04-16

Terri Clark's 2nd album "Just The Same" is just the same as her 1st album... Absolutly F**ing Brilliant!!!

Great CD!.......2003-10-20

I have all of Terri Clark's CDs. She is a remarkable entertainer. Staying true to herself and not following others in her industry to pop, she continues to show her fans and others just why she is so loved by her fans. Terri is the epitome of womanhood in it's finest form. This is just another of her fine works.

Entertaining and very enjoyable.......2002-09-15

Terri has achieved a measure of success in country music without ever becoming a major star, yet her albums are always of a high quality. This is my favorite. It has a great mix of uptempo and slower songs.

Poor poor pitiful me may follow the Linda Ronstadt arrangement in general terms, but Terri's version is country, wheras Linda's version was pop/rock. All the other songs are original, co-written by Terri with various others.

Neon flame is an amusing song in which Terri explains to her man that the man she sometimes sees at the bar isn't a threat. It's a piece of fun which (like the man at the bar) is not to be taken too seriously. ...

Terri is more downbeat on Keeper of the flame, in which she senses her man is not that interested in her, but overall, this is a very upbeat album. I find it highly entertaining - and that, after all, is what music is supposed to be about.

Pale Imitation.......2002-07-28

After garnering solid goodwill with her debut, it would only be logical that Terri Clark would follow that set with an album following that blueprint fairly closely, which is what she does. It's too bad that the abundance of just-average material littered throughout fails to distinguish itself as anything other than a hollow shell of its' former self(the former self being the first album). She does start off strong, with both 'Emotional Girl' and her highly underrated cover of 'Poor,Poor Pitiful Me' reminding us of her way with uptempo fare, and the title track is a nice companion piece to the previous set's 'If I Were You'. Unfortunately, we also have dreck like 'Neon Flame' and 'Twang Thang', which are not only less-than-thrilling compositions, but show the Canadian Clark affecting her twangy singing to the point of irritation. Overall, this remains the least essential of Clark's recordings.
