Who would have thought "American Idol"'s mink would be a hit maker on country radio? Not Simon Cowell. Kellie Pickler has two Top 20 singles under her belt now, but she has not made it to the coveted Top 10. She tries again with "Things That Never Cross A Man's Mind", a cute little ditty about the little things girls worry about. No need to quote the song, I'm sure most of you can imagine what guy's don't think about ("Red High Heels" for one). The song will be a country dance club hit, with a kickin' guitar riff and a up-tempo beat. The vocal take reminds me of something Lorrie Morgan or Deanna Carter would have recorded in the early 90s, not necessarily a bad thing. Kellie is the doll for young girls, and this song is for them.. cheers!
