Attention! That's not the original Grammy-winning album !!!

As before, there are, for example, in the albums of Taylor Swift also here two versions of the album, which differ dramatically from each part (Note the two different cover).
In order to obtain internationally more sales (incidence the recording industry) is in the version available here to the so-called. "International version".
This means that the country-heavy and Let's just say American elements of sounds in favor smoother pop elements were out mixed.
The original album is only available in the US and contains significantly more instruments such as fiddle, pedal steel, etc. In this country, we only get a smooth polished version purposed (Since the original indeed is very pop-heavy, this practice to me is a complete mystery in this case ).

If you think now that Lady Antebellum won the Grammy for this version of the album, it is unfortunately totally wrong.
Man is making fun of the industry and, unfortunately, artists can not defend themselves against this practice (The buyer is also buying not noted). The power and influence of corporations in Nashville is huge and unlike in this country the market with physical sound carriers in the US is still very large.
This practice you have to question, since the authenticity of the artist remains completely on the track. The artists deliver from only the skeleton in the studio and then is mixed and tinkered until for every taste in the corresponding national music market there is something.
Who would like to order the original CD itself, must resort to Amazon.com or order here the overpriced import!
I hope to contribute a little to investigate. Listen carefully worth it!

For album itself (ie the original version ;-)) has to be said not much: 5 stars !!!
For the available version here there are only 2 of them!
