Contest – see below for details
Some Lessons Learned was produced in Nashville by Bob Ezrin (Peter Gabriel, KISS, Pink Floyd). It features songs by elite pop and country songwriters including Diane Warren, Desmond Child, Tom Douglas, Hillary Scott, Jodi Marr, Victoria Shaw, Dolly Parton, Eric Bazilian, Gary Burr and Shane McAnnally. Chenoweth herself contributed two songs, “What Would Dolly Do?”– written in honor of her hero Dolly Parton — and “Mine To Love,” about a woman who struggles with an emotionally unavailable man.
This is Chenoweth’s fourth album on Sony. “Look at my recording career and it’s kind of funny. It’s all so different!” says Chenoweth who counts Dolly Parton (whose “Change” Kristin covers on the album), Patsy Cline, Trisha Yearwood, Reba McEntire and Linda Ronstadt among her major influences. “This album is more along the lines of what I grew up singing, like the music I sang in church in Oklahoma. When I was hired at nineteen to sing at Opryland in Nashville, that’s what I wanted to do. I never anticipated my career going in all these great directions — which I’m grateful for! I’m finally getting to do what I want.”
Some Lessons Learned is the culmination of a natural progression for Chenoweth as a recording artist. She singles out the title track “Lessons Learned”: “It’s about what we learn and how we learn — and what we do with it.”

Thank you for this sweepstakes
She was on the Tonight Show, Bill Mahrer had just finished. She talked about as a teenage cheerleader she broke her coccyx. She was so adorable, even Bill said, “You had me at coccyx.”
These contests are SO Darwinian, filtering for people “who read and pay attention to directions”… Anyone who left a comment here, thinking it qualifies as an entry — FAIL! If you watch it happening Long Enough, it passes a point of “funny” and reaches “too bad, so sad…” You should all talk among yourselves, but so do NOT hook up — totally unfair to (two strikes against) any potential progeny.
I LOVE Kristin and I love country music. Can’t wait to hear what this album is all about!!!
A big fan
