Sugarland - Love On The Inside Album Review

Love On The Inside by Sugarland, Album Review

‘Love on the Inside‘ is the third album by the American country duo Sugarland, released in 2008 on Mercury Nashville Records.

Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush co-wrote all tracks and have teamed up with Byron Gallimore again to produce.

“Love On The Inside is just that…it is a recording full of love,” Kristian Bush says. “It’s in the strings and wood of the instruments, in the vocal chords, in the hearts that beat behind them and in the words that flood out through them into microphones. Our hope is that new Sugarland fans and old ones alike will hear this album and feel like the soundtrack to their life is magically playing in front of them.”

The album debuted at #2 on US Billboard 200 chart as well as #1 on Top Country Albums chart, with 313,624 sold first week.
