Unbelievable ~ Diamond Rio ~ Country ~ CD ~ Used VG

Editorial Reviews

Diamond Rio is one heck of a good country band: perfect picking, high-energy presentation, and harmonies tight like a dream. Unbelievable is another solid outing filled, start to finish, with hit after likely hit, from the on-fire title track to the earnest anthem "(I Will) Start All Over Again." Granted, as is usually the case with Rio, everything is far slicker than it needs to be, and misses the bluegrass punch and gospel intensity these boys are capable of. For a shot of the band's true potential, check out their truly unbelievable cover of "Walking in Jerusalem" on the Peace in the Valley compilation. Compared to that high standard, Unbelievable doesn't quite live up to its title, but it's still one heck of good country album. --David Cantwell
