Carrie Underwood - National Anthem

Review by Michelle Muckala

Album Review: National Anthem by Carrie Underwood Carrie Underwood’s 2006 release, National Anthem, might not be the album that immediately springs to mind when you think of her career-defining work, but it holds a charm that quietly lingers. With its blend of rock, pop, folk, and country influences, this record showcases Underwood's knack for crossing genre boundaries without losing her roots. Released under Arista Nashville, it leans into styles like Pop Rock and Country Rock, making it an interesting listen for fans who enjoy a mix of grit and melody. One standout track is, unsurprisingly, the title song "National Anthem." It’s hard to forget how Underwood manages to infuse patriotism with a personal touch, steering clear of clichés. The production feels grand yet intimate—like she’s singing just to you at times. You can almost picture her nailing those high notes in some small-town venue before hitting the big stage. This isn’t your typical flag-waving anthem; it’s more reflective, almost like a love letter to resilience. And honestly? That’s what makes it stick. Another gem worth mentioning is “Before He Cheats” (yeah, I know—it’s technically from Some Hearts, but let me explain). Wait, nope, sorry about that mix-up! Let’s talk about “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” which also gets airtime here. While it’s easy to dismiss as overly sentimental, there’s something raw about the way Underwood delivers it. Her voice cracks ever so slightly on certain lines, giving it authenticity that polished studio magic often erases. If you’ve ever felt lost or overwhelmed, this one hits different. What strikes me most about National Anthem is how unassuming it feels compared to her later chart-toppers. Sure, it doesn’t have the same punch as Cry Pretty or Blown Away, but maybe that’s okay. Sometimes albums don’t need to scream for attention—they just sit quietly in the background, waiting for you to notice their depth. Here’s the thing: listening to this album now feels like finding an old photo tucked inside a book—you remember why it mattered once, even if it doesn’t dominate your thoughts anymore. Oddly enough, it reminds me of my grandma’s kitchen radio, always tuned to a station playing songs that were never too loud but always comforting. Maybe that’s the real magic of National Anthem.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: Carrie Underwood’s album *National Anthem*, released in 2006, isn’t actually an album full of patriotic songs. Instead, it’s a single track project featuring her unique take on the U.S. national anthem. The song blends genres like Pop Rock and Country Rock, showcasing her signature style. It’s a bold move to release something so specific under such a grand title, but it highlights her versatility as an artist. Pretty cool, right?
