Product Description
Kellie Pickler is everything that's right about the uniquely modern place where reality and celebrity come together. She is first and foremost a force of nature, a young woman who followed a restless, small-town dream of the heart to the front porch of the country music world.
It starts with talent, drive and star quality-that indefinable but clearly identifiable trait that she possesses in abundance. She combines beauty,with,humor and guilelessness in a way that fans from her first days in the national spotlight, and has proven over and over again that there is a great deal of substance under the blond-hair, light- hearted exterior.
Kellie's first two albums quickly established her as both a singer and as a songwriter to be reckoned with by co-writing her hit "Red High Heels", "I Wonder" and the top-ten hit "Best Days of Your Life". Each album showed growth, not only as an artist but also as a woman.
The video for the lead single, "Tough", draws from Kellie's real-life childhood relationship with her father. About the emotional music video for "Tough", Kellie said, "There was so much healing in shooting this one". Tough was penned for Kellie by acclaimed songwriter Leslie Satcher. Regarding Kellie's performance, Music Row magazine's Bob Oermann says, "This rumbling, romping rhythm number has a lyric with real moxie and she delivers it with just the right amount of sass."
Produced by Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack) and Luke Wooten, 100 Proof features a more earthy quality with a less-Is-More approach from instrumentation to production.

| 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful  Pickler puts Traditional Country on a Pedestal with "100 Proof", This review is from: 100 Proof (Audio CD) Six years ago, on the popular "American Idol", I saw something special in a young, humble blonde girl from Albemarle, a small town in North Carolina. Something about her stuck with me. Maybe it was her naive personality, not vacuous, just innocent and unbelievably genuine. I fell in love with her debut album, "Small Town Girl", which seemed more real than anything I'd heard in a while."This is just going to be Kellie, like it or leave it," she says. "I don't expect people to like me or like my music. I want them to, but I can't make them. If I can't be me, then I don't want to do it." -Kellie Pickler on the new album, USAToday Aside from her obvious pulchritude, she has a contagious, boisterous personality. If you ever see her in concert, you will experience the authenticity of this down-at-home, country girl raised on the classics. With this album, you can take a trip down the country road that is and was her story. "100 Proof" takes you from her...

From the opening honky-tonk trio; to the deeply personal 'Mother's Day' and 'Letter'; to the beautiful 'Rockaway' and '100 Proof': this album is a testiment to what country music SHOULD be all about in 2012 and onwards. An album hasn't sounded this fresh since Lee Ann Womack's 'There's More Where That Came From', and certainly takes on Eric Church's 'Chief' to boast the finest collection of songs since LAW's 2005 release.Much as Womack, Pickler isn't enjoying much radio-attention of late, as programmers opt for the sappy, pop productions cater-made for the teenage audience. I'd be surprised if they embrace an actual COUNTRY record, but heck, even if they don't, it doesn't matter. This is better than anything they'll play in their top 40 spins. If you only dabble in one country release this year, let it be this. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful Pickler's "100 Proof" that Music Still Moves the Heart, By This review is from: 100 Proof (Audio CD) Prime Cuts: Mother's Day, The Letter (to Daddy), 100 ProofWith "100 Proof" Pickler has morphed from a ditzy, spunky Telecaster celebrity into a real country singer. Prior to the release of this disc, Pickler has been known more for her role in American Idol than her music. Somehow trailing in the limelight of Carrie Underwood and yet never really possessing Underwood's dynamic pipes, Pickler has never really found her voice. Her last pop country-lite couple of discs did not produce any significant radio hits until Taylor Swift co-penned with her the top 10 blazer "Best Days of Your Life." Though it was a substantial hit but Pickler was still trailing on the coat tails of Swift. With "100 Proof" her third disc things are about to change. On this album Pickler has found truly found her voice. Instead of trying to hit and sustain the high notes as most American Idol alum are tempted to do, Pickler's vocals here are more restrained. Rather than trying to show off she... Read more |
