Jennifer Nettles explains the albums title:
“We named the record Enjoy the Ride as an invitation, a reminder and a challenge: an invitation to our fans to sit back and enjoy the ride of this record, a reminder to ourselves and our fans to enjoy the ride of life and as a challenge to ourselves to enjoy this wonderful ride of a career that we’ve been blessed with.” Watch the Sugarland : Want To video

iTunes Top 10 Country Songs (as of September 21, 2006)

From the catchy coming-of-age kick-off single and chart-topping “Want To,” to the reflective rocker “County Line” and the hopelessly optimistic “One Blue Sky,” the combination of Jennifer’s powerhouse country-soul voice with Kristian’s passionate harmonies and deep-rooted musicality hits home, even if these two road veterans, each with a decade of club experience behind them, hardly ever see theirs. “If we can’t go home, we do in our minds,” Kristian explains of their songwriting process, which on this record, includes collaborations with country artist Bobby Pinson (“Want To”), Brad Paisley’s co-writer Tim Owens (“Settlin'”), old pal Jeff Cohen (“April Showers”) and Nashville local Lisa Carver (“One Blue Sky,” “Everyday America,” “County Line,” “These Are The Days”). “There’s a sense of nostalgia,” Jennifer continues. “You pull from the time when you were figuring out who you are as a person. Like in ‘Want To,’ it’s not only a story of falling in love, it’s about that moment or a choice that could change your life. And with ‘County Line,’ it’s about a place where you have your first kiss or get in a fight or talk about football and that time when you felt most free.”
