Gretchen Peters's album The Secret of Life is a sophisticated country release. It has masterful lyrics (which is only to be expected from Peters, a very accomplished songwriter), which, coupled with her delivery, evoke a range of emotions and give the audience cause to reflect. I'm starting to think country singer-songwriters may just make the most cohesive albums, because they can truly feel their lyrics and know their own intentions. However, that's an oversimplification of the formula, as it takes away from the pure talent of such artists as Peters. Still, I think there may be something in it. Regardless, the important thing to know is that, if you're looking for a solid country album, seek The Secret of Life.
