Kari Hlavinka offers her debut release "THIS IS IT," an independent project as a testament to all that is good in music. Kari has collected ten outstanding songs from great songwriters such as Doug Kershaw, Larry Wheeler, Bill Anderson, and Albert Brumley. Each song is a treasure, but what makes the disc special is Kari's delivery. A veteran of the Houston area music scene, Hlavinka is a mainstay in Opry circles, working with guitar virtuoso Randy Cornor, who also appears on her album. Kari can be seen regularly at the Hometown Opry in Pasadena, performing with Cornor and others. Here's the scoop: Kari Hlavinka is a fabulous singer, leaning in many directions with her confident and able vocal styles. As I listened to this disc, I kept calling out names of people who I was sure had influences on Kari. So many greats emerged, such as Dottie, Patsy, Brenda, and I thought I even heard a hint of Shelly West and Lynn Anderson in there. If you want a great CD from a talented singer, delivering some of the greatest country songs of our time, this is the disc for you. Get it today for only $13.99!
