Crystal Bowersox's album Farmer's Daughter is out today, so go pick up or download a copy if you want. The album's getting good reviews and Crystal had the cajones to give VFTW a shoutout during her run on the show, so we figure we might as well repay the favor and pimp her album a bit. Besides, with as little promotion as she's getting from her label (who even knew the album was coming out today?), she'll need the help to sell even as many as Lee DeWyze. So take a listen and pick up Pigpen's album if you like what you hear.

I actually really like what I've heard of this. She may be the first and only Idol contestant's CD I'll buy.

Same here. I listened to some of the samples and there's a few that sound pretty good. She's really the only highlight from last season, so she may be worth while to spend money on. Hopefully, this CD will fair better than Lee's.

The sound of a piece of shit being stepped on would sound better than Fuglee's crappy album. At least you've set the bar low. It's good to have low expectations when it comes to albums from AI.

Exactly, but i actually gave Pigpen's album a listen,it isn't that good either to be fair.She might outsell Fuglee, but won't sell en masse. Like Smartie said too bad the standard is dropping big time, because Crystal would struggle with past contestants, in past seasons let alone a top 2 finish. Sorry, just keeping it real.

I opted to just buy the damn thing (I still like the tactile experience of HOLDING a CD... before I rip it to my computer to listen to. LOL) and I'm pretty happy with it.

I'll go on record about how much I hate autotune. (WTF? Janis never had autotune. It strips any real emotion and subtle inflections from the voice IMO.) But overall I'm enjoying it very much.

I liked the studio recording of the title track much better than her performance on Leno- it was way too rushed. But, I noticed Leno acted very curtly toward her, and after she tried to put her arm around his back, he kind of looked off-put, like he didn't want to have anything to do with her. Anyway, he just seemed ill-at-ease around her.

She makes Leno uncomfortable? Makes me like her even more. And yeah, I bought the CD. It's already selling at a discount on Amazon. Am guessing this is not a good sign.

Not necessarily. Lot's of sales going on at Amazon. Christmas and all you know. (but it won't hurt either)

Her video for Farmer's Daughter is out there now. Nicely done.
