This is another great Chesnutt album. I have them all and I feel sorry for all the people here complaining. This is one of the greatest voices to ever sing a country song. It’s country music the way it is meant to be. All you complainers obviously have never seen a live club show. He is pure magic. Every one of his songs is made for dancing and you have not lived until you spend a night dancing to his music. If you don’t get it, what a shame, it’s not likely that you will ever reach a level above the thought process of a tween who buys /listens to music that they were “told” was good but can’t hear the difference between miley cyrus and quality and talent.

Mark has great songs in this album! Even he admits the cover is a huge mistake, “looks like a wax figure of me!”, he told me this in Poteet, Texas! Well Mark is overseen and is one of country’s greatest, we should all shut up and enjoy!!

This album is boring as HELL!! Chesnutt is firmly stuck in the past…His past. There is nothing new in this recording. As far as the cover art goes, I guess KMart photo studio was running a special and the picture was taken there. Save your money for a more modern country artist. If you want to hear good Chesnutt, just listen to one of his first 2 or 3 albums.

CF,

The album cover has no direct link on the quality of the record. It’s a straight-ahead Mark Chesnutt record. :)

… also: “Goin’ On Later On” is pretty damn catchy I gotta say.

I love Mark and enjoy a lot of his music, especially the hard-core, traditional, honky-tonk stuff, but for some reason, I don’t really care for the album. Granted, I just listened to clips, and I did like what I heard on some parts, but it just didn’t really pull me in.

Maybe it’s the cheap album cover turning me off? lol. I dunno. Maybe psychologically, I’m making a link of the album cover to the quality of the music. It does sound kinda dated as stated in the review. I do like the title cut, though.

Mark Chesnutt is one of my favorites and this CD is quite good. Mark’s voice, as always, is awesome. I think he has one of the best voices in country music. Some of the songs are just ok.

“Come On In” is just a list of bad characteristics of a bar (bad location, bad food, bad patrons,” with a sorta-lame punchline: “who cares if this bar is terrible, at least the whiskey is good.” This sounds a bit like the thinking of Aaron Tippin’s “There Ain’t Nothing Wrong With The Radio” applied to a bar. But Tippin’s song worked and “Come On In” doesn’t.

I think the songs here tend to be decent, but not great. Chesnutt’s voice saves the day, though. I’m a longtime Chesnutt fan and I long for the day Mark records an album of songs worth of his great voice. That hasn’t happened since 1992’s “Longnecks and Short Stories” and 1995’s “Wings.”

I agree with the above sentiment and distaste: bad cover label, but the music haunts me back to my childhood years: Randy Travis, George Strait, John Anderson, and the like that it’s wonderful to dip myself back into magic waters and taste that freedom I had as a kid. Aaaahhh…to be young again.

A friend and I were discussing this a while back. He’s starting another blog and wrote this article about the importance of album covers: http://produceyou.com/1000-points-of-light/
