Sue Bennett is one of the UK's fastest rising songwriting talents. Her passion for country (even when it wasn¹t cool!) started early as her parents brought her up on a diet of Dolly, Kenny, Tammy, Don Williams and Johnny Cash!

Sue penned the classic 'Given Time' - recorded by the award winning British Country star, Sue James - which made number one on the European Independent Country Chart. She also has cuts on the long-anticipated second Sue James album and lately she has contributed four tracks to the new Nashville-recorded album by Blue Orchid, 'Slow Down for a While'

Her material written with Jon Philibert has recently been signed by a leading Nashville music publisher and great things are expected. Sue's songs with Graham Snow are also currently receiving a lot of interest from the Nashville majors, while US Stardust artist, Foxx, has just recorded ""Like I Care"" for her new album.

What we have here is an interesting and impressive collection of songs. Interesting because they all come from the pens of British writers, and impressive because, by comparison with the outlay made by major labels, these have been recorded on a shoestring budget at a small studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee under the watchful eye of Gene Rabbai. Originally intended as demo recordings, the finished product, all sung by Nashville based vocalists, has turned out so well it was decided to put it on the market.

What we have here is an interesting and impressive collection of songs. Interesting because they all come from the pens of British writers, and impressive because, by comparison with the outlay made by major labels, these have been recorded on a shoestring budget at a small studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee under the watchful eye of Gene Rabbai. Originally intended as demo recordings, the finished product, all sung by Nashville based vocalists, has turned out so well it was decided to put it on the market.

Starting with the material, Sue Bennett's name is on all 13 tracks. An incisive and intelligent writer who is clearly conversant with today's country music market, her songs relate to universal matters of the heart and relationships. Other British writers who join Sue are Jon Philibert, Graham Snow and Lorna Flowers.

Without exception, the material is strong and a number of the songs could easily be recorded by some of the biggest names in country music. For example, the Philibert/Bennett swing number Other Than That (I'm Doin' Fine), would be ideal for Mark Strait or Mark Chesnutt, whilst the slow ballad I Knew, would not be out of place on a Garth Brooks album. In fact, a pop mix of this song is included as a bonus track and a number of today's boy bands could do themselves a favour by checking out the title.

Other Philibert/Bennett collaborations include the apparent devil-may-care attitude of Sure, Let's Be Friends, very much in the style of Moe Bandy and Joe Stampley, and the sassy Like I Care, which adds Snow as co-writer on a song that fits K.T. Oslin like a glove.

The combination of Bennett and Snow works well, too, particularly on the driving What Cloud (Have You Just Stepped Down Off), the soulful Sometimes and the uptempo Old Fiddles which, as it suggests, boasts plenty of fiddle (and steel).

Sue Bennett and Lorna Flowers join forces on two songs, the best being Ex's And Whys with its clever wordplay.

Perhaps the names of the singers demoing the songs may not be widely familiar but they do a sterling job. Tim Raybon is the best known, with a couple of hit records behind him as one-half of The Raybon Brothers with his sibling Marty. Kelly Nolf is starring continually SRO Wynonna tribute show in Nashville (which explains her great reading of Like I Care); Dave Brookes is a demo singer for Clint Black, Lance Miller has opened shows for Tracy Lawrence and Sawyer Brown, while Oklahoman Mike Sutterfield is the new boy in town looking for a record deal (and, we are told, using the Philibert/Bennett demo of I Knew as part of his showcase).

Those who believe that country songs can only be credibly written by Americans would be forced to re-evaluate their opinion if they were prepared to listen to this album with open minds. It is a credit to British writers and deserves to be a resounding success. Its worth bearing in mind that most of today's big country names started out singing demos, so by investing in this CD you could very well have a future superstar in your collection...
