CMT Cody Allen Backstage Interview with Steven Tyler & Carrie Underwood

[cary78663]

Agree ty. Was it cary who suggested she might be stealing the guy in gg for herself? Lol

The single cover does show her with a sly mischievous look on her face

Now that would be a 180 turn from the bad boy songs! Lol

Yes, that was me.

[Liatush]

Now it works *listening*

[hjj]

One thing about it you can count on Carrie giving a little bit of everything on an album. I think that is why I love her albums. I do not get bore with them .

[CUFan7]

Well all of this sounds perfect. Ecspecially "A lot of storytelling on the upcoming album; really descriptive lyrics". I've always felt Carrie's weakest part in the songs she's co-written has been description and imagery ("Oklahoma Wind" being an exception, that song is perfect). So reading this makes me hopeful. Also I love darker songs so I'm all over this body-count thing...

[kewlie78189]

oh wow I am so much more excited...if that is even possible LOL

[Ann055]

Yay...it finally played for me...love the storytelling part as well. She also cracks me up with her pizza with non-dairy cheese...lol

[carebear4eva]

When Carrie says its naughty and rocking, it is unclear whether she is talking about GG or the album. Steven says something about GG just before the comment from Carrie. But I am unsure if she was commenting on what Steven said or continuing her description of the album.

And like many here, I am very glad to heard Carrie's comment on storytelling on the album. That is something that I wanted more of in the previous albums.

I agree, because her exact quote is "kinda naughty, very rocking....LOTS OF ROCKING STUFF".

The "lots of rocking stuff" seems to indicate she's talking about the album...Confused.

And yes, I'm glad to hear the "descriptive, story-telling" part too. Reminds me of songs like JTTW, TNB(LGO), LN, TH, and BHC (to some extent) all of which are awesome songs

Dont forget- DFTRM. JAD. AAG. Great story telling songs (:

[teesharky]

Yes, that was me.

Awesome guess! I could be wrong but if carrie was referring to Good Girl as naughty then it would fit your theory.

I actually really like that twist so i hope it is true. Lol

It would be a really unexpected turn of events in the song.

[teesharky]

Agree! I think what made mamas song fall a little short was the lack of powerful descriptive lyrics. There was a story kind of but they needed stronger lyrics.

I wonder if the really country song is Leave Love Alone?

I think the body count comment was for the dark songs-- and i think they will be Gone Too Soon or 2 Black Cadillacs.

I kind of hope her death songs touch on teen bullying and suicide as she did that psa with mike about teen suicide. That coukd be a real powerful message.

Agree. I personally dont mind all the different subject matters being on one album but i do hope the songs flow together better then the po songs did. There were so many great songs on po but they were kind of all over the place so they didnt flow as nice as there was no apparent theme etc.

So i just hope this album is a solid cohesive unit that flows nice even if the subject matter and style is all over the place.

[rainbow1]

Still won't play for me, but so excited about everything she said!!!

[Ann055]

It took forever to load for me and it didn't look like it was doing anything and then all of a sudden, it started...

[LouisaJessie]

That's good to know. I'm interested in hearing Carrie's new material. I think this may turn out to be her best album to date. I hope so anyway.

[sam_vzla]

1) GG is naughty, and really rocking.

2) The album has a lot of story-telling...Lot of really descriptive songs.

3) Some dark songs..."We kinda have a body-count on the album"...Hastily adds "Not all of it".

4) As always, the music is everywhere. She has "the countriest of country, the biggest ballad of ballads, and the country rocking ones".

What does "body count" mean? Lol

I'm happy with everything she said.

[Ty]

What does "body count" mean? Lol

A number of dead bodies.

[jaks_weyn]

I think the big ballad is WAW

[oldyfan]

What does she mean by "a body-count"?

Edit: I see that is answered two posts up... Oh, my! :-)

[pgk]

I think the big ballad is WAW

I'm sorry but what is WAW...I know I should know this and the list of potential songs is so long it's just not coming to me...

[teesharky]

WAW is Wine After Whiskey, not to be confused with Wheel of the World, WOW, from Carnival Ride. lol

The lyrics are amazing and Carrie wrote it with that Shapiro writer, who said he has a cut on this album. Carrie is listed as a performer on the song, though we have no confirmation this song made the cut over other Shapiro cowrites.
