Don’t know too much about Charlie’s music but if he’s from Texas it’ll probaby be a great cd. I hear Brother Bruce is a great songwriter.

[...] From The 9513 review: “Birthed in the aftermath of a divorce from his wife of nine years, Dixie Chick Emily, Beautiful Day is both Charlie’s most inspired disc and his most listenable, an album that beautifully balances hooky rhythms and crisp production with his typically razor-sharp lyrics…” — Jim Malec [...]

i literally wore out a copy of life of the party the summer of 02. got me through some hard times. it’s a bold statement about his writing being better than bruce. but i’m glad he is returning to form. would love to listen to charlie doing bare jr. gotta go get this and the new bingham today.

…oooh, I forgot about “tonight”, maybe my favorite track on the entire disc, and easily in my top 10 Robison tracks overall

I’d probably put Step Right Up above Good Times. It might not be as cohesive as his other albums, but Step Right Up has far more killer songs than missteps. My favorites are John O’Reilly, The Preacher, and Tonight.

Good Times holds together better, but I seem to treat it like I treated my first Bon Jovi album (Slippery When Wet) on cassette- that is, I listened to the first five songs over and over and never cared for the back half. My favorite on that one is probably “The Bottom” which reminds me of the bar scene in the movie version of “The Shining” strangely enough.

Step Right Up may not be his best, but saying it’s his worst is kinda like when Albert Pujols worst year for home runs was less than 38…it’s still really good…

Leeann, you’ll probably feel that it was worth the purchase after hearing John O’ Riley, Depserate Times, and The Preacher…those are my faves at least.

This is probably my most anticipated album of the year, so I’m glad it suited your fancy, Jim. Can’t wait to get my ears on it.

Step Right Up is good, but it is definitly his worst album. I would say Life of the Party is his best with Good Times closely behind.

I am a huge fan of The Robison boys, and I CANT WAIT for this album. It has been so long since “Good Times” and by the sound of this review, I think I am really going to enjoy it. When does this come out?
