Terri
Clark - Pain To Kill
Artist Profile and Website
Review by Jim Weaver
 The
first new major artist CD of 2003 hits the stores this week, Terri
Clark's Pain To Kill. The girl with "Hatitude"
is building up to her first #1 hit in the new year with "I Just
Wanna Be Mad", now sitting at #5 and still climbing. I say
"first #1" because not only to I believe this first single
will make it the top spot on the charts but she may very well have
another potential 3 or 4 #1's on this CD. She's playing the clubs
and doing the radio interviews in every town she goes to, she's doing
the work and is backing it up with a terrific new album. Pain To
Kill is more than just fun, it's empowering and thoughtful. It
has the full range of emotions that you expect to find a good country
music album all delivered with that special Terri Clark smile and
a wink. If you like Terri Clark, you should love Pain To
Kill.

Review:
I may be a little premature in making any judgments since it seems
Terri's website is under re-construction... but here goes. While all the
information a fan wants appears to be there it just seems a little
disjointed to me. One thing I hate is when the right click is disabled
on an artist site to keep fans from downloading images. Just from a
"Marketing 101" standpoint wouldn't you want your fans to
download and share your pics with their friends, use them to build their
own fan-site tributes to you, screen savers at their office, etc? There
also seems to be no continuity to the site, completely different color
schemes on almost every page, some pages fade in, some just appear. As I
said early on in this review, maybe this site is undergoing some
re-construction and just not everything is done yet... or not. I will
re-visit the site on Tuesday after the CD is released, I may have to
completely change this review... or not.

 Not bad, could be
better.
*Someone
pointed out that there are two sites for Terri Clark... www.terri-clark.com
and www.terriclark.com
(no dash) and that person wondered if I shouldn't be reviewing the other
site. The site with no dash is run by Terri's Record Company Mercury
Nashville. The site reviewed above is run by Terri and her
Management Company. Whenever possible I will always review the site run
by the artist. But thanks for bringing it up so there's no confusion.
