When I asked Rory in my interview with the duo if The Life of a Song was the album he wanted to make, he responded by saying: “We got to make the album everybody wants to make.” Clearly, it’s a project that he’s very proud of–and rightly so, as the critical response so far has been outstanding.

If I caught my boy cheatin my first phone call would be to Lorena Bobbitt for some how-to advice.(evil laugh)
I’ve known about joey for several years and have her CD. Incredible voice! I was so excited to see her and rory on CMT.
November 10, 2008 at 3:10 pm Permalink
I’d celebrate; damn I hate that woman…
November 10, 2008 at 3:13 pm Permalink
It’s funny because I am single right now, but if I caught my perspective gf cheating on me I would break it off on the spot. I’ve had my share of sore relationships and they never recover. I’d probably actually write a song about it and spill it in a performance like Kristy Lee Cook’s song “15 Minutes”.
As far as Joey and Rory, I believe they should have won the compatition hands down. I mean they have an album out already and where are the winners??? I’ve heard maybe one update on their progress sense being named the winners.

I’d like to think I’d kick his butt to the curb. I hate cheaters!
November 10, 2008 at 3:58 pm Permalink
haha! I did pretty much that very same thing that the song says. Except I didnt tell him to pack up all his stuff and get out of my house. I packed it for him (one big box) and when he came home from work he picked it up and left. He pretty much got his clothes and that was it. Oh, I did give him a broken record player and his black and white tv! LOL.
I bought this record a couple of day ago, but I would LOVE to have an autographed copy.
I love every single song on here, but I think my favorite is Rodeo. My son loves Boots and Free Bird. My daughter’s favorite is Cheater Cheater. We’ve all been listening to the whole thing all weekend. In fact, I have it playing here at work now.

I’d like to think I was the kind of person who would be self-assertive in that situation, but when it happened to me, first I was too naive and refused to believe the person who told me my ex was spending too much time with another woman; until he actually left me for her. I was too upset to say anything much to him, beyond crying. I cried pretty much nonstop for far too long (and wasted a lot of time thinking about all the things I could have said).
November 10, 2008 at 4:58 pm Permalink
I’d break it off right away, there’s no reason to continue if they’re cheating.
I also thought they should’ve won but it’s good they didn’t as Sony hasn’t done anything with Caitlin & Will yet.
November 10, 2008 at 5:02 pm Permalink
If I was cheated on… I dunno, but unfortunately the only gf I’ve ever had in H.S. so far did that >_<
But, she broke up with me (by note, to top it off)
What a cheap skinker :P

I’d love to get a autographed retail copy as the early advance copy I purchased has absolutely no information other than the song titles and doesn’t even have a picture! Sheesh! I like every song on this CD but my favorites are “Tune of a Twenty Dollar Bill” and “Boots”, both of which are superb country songs expertly performed. This CD definitely ranks in my Top 5 favorite CD purchases of 2008 thus far and may just be # 1.
I got to see the Overstock.com commercial featuring Joey and Rory on TV this weekend and its about as folksy and family oriented as it can be. Sure beats a pretty gal in a sexy dress speaking breathily about “The Big O” for us family values types…..
PS – The Joey + Rory release of “Cheater, Cheater” threw a monkey wrench in Bomshel’s planned release of their version as a radio single in mid-October. Here’s what the winsome Kristy O. had to say about that in a recent blog:
“Alrighty Bomsquad… Here’s the scoop. We kind of shot ourselves in the foot in a really good way. So, we had turned in the three sides to Curb, and they were going with Cheater as a single October 15th… BUT turns out Joey and Rory decided to release it ahead of us. Cool beans. We started turning in other sides, and every song we have turned in, CURB wants it as the new single. Even Cooler beans! (This also means we are writing and working on production of a BUNCH of new songs.) Soooooo… they have pushed our release back to January for us to get the album done, finished, finalized, completed, wrapped, and delivered:) and we will all sit down and decide which single exactly we are going with to launch (the New) Bomshel.”

Thankfully I’ve never been in that situation. I’d like to think that I’d go all “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” on him but it would probably be more like “Tear in My Beer”.
Love this song though!
November 10, 2008 at 5:28 pm Permalink
Me and my buddies would get together at the apartment while she was out and by the time she got back all her possessions would be outside on the curb. As for me, I’d be inside with my buddies listening to my Cheatin’ Playlist I made on iTunes. “Cheater, Cheater” would certainly be on it.
November 10, 2008 at 5:30 pm Permalink
Yeah is it wrong to think that your first thought might be relief.. that you didn’t have to be the one to end it… and that you look better in any proceedings? :)
Nah, like everyone.. anger would be first.. control would hopefully be second ;)

First, I just have to say, if my husband of 30 years cheated on me, I think my first reaction would be shock that he actually got off the couch to do something!
I would love to win an autographed copy of Joey + Rory’s “The Life of a Song”. I love everything about this CD! There’s not a single track on it that isn’t special. I know it will be a favorite for a long time to come (along with Joey’s “Strong Enough to Cry” CD).
Why do I love Joey and Rory? For their authenticity. They have brought something back to Country music that has been missing for a long time–true talent. And it’s not just Joey’s amazing, smokey voice or Rory’s straight from the heart lyrics that makes them so appealing-it’s their obvious and abiding love for each other. There is something absolutely magical about the two of them together, something true and rare–as one reviewer put it: “J+R have brought romance back to Country music”.
Lastly, I was fortunate to meet and talk to Joey and Rory recently at a busy day at Marcy Jo’s, and they were as down to earth and warm as they appear on camera. Somehow I just know that no matter how high their star may soar, these two will always stay true to their fans, their music, and each other.

Well first I’d blog about it because I’m pretty passive aggressive that way. Then I’d go for the jugular by asking for half his guns and his dog in the divorce.
November 10, 2008 at 8:35 pm Permalink
I would ask why, tell her to pack her stuff and go and leave my daughter because she doesnt need to be exposed to that and just move on with my life

If I caught a GF cheating, I’d be tempted to go call Miranda Lambert. She obviously has some experience in that department.
November 10, 2008 at 10:40 pm Permalink
I’d leave him. Punishment: He doesn’t get to have sex with me anymore.
November 10, 2008 at 11:26 pm Permalink
Mixed reactions on the cheatin’ question. Depending on circumstances and depth of the love, I’d have to start with trying to forgive (which means forget). If it was a habitual occurrence, that disputes the ‘deep love’ aspect and I’d have to leave the relationship. No violence, but firmly believe in ‘what goes around, comes around’ to take care of the cheater.
November 11, 2008 at 12:33 am Permalink
You couldn’t on living with this person if they did that to you because they’ll do it again, for sure.
I’ve listened to clips of this album and I’m impressed. As a big traditional country music fan, I’m definitely gonna try to get this.
Thanks.

I appreciate their honesty and love for one another and how much it enhances their singing.
November 11, 2008 at 9:01 am Permalink
Well, I’d certainly make it clear that that kind of behaviour is unacceptable, but I doubt I’d leave my sweetheart. I’m a very forgiving person. Even to the point where it is a curse instead of a blessing.

what would i do if i caught my significant other cheating?
hard time.

Why do I love Joey + Rory? After pondering this question for a considerable amount of time, I concluded that I love everything about them.
November 11, 2008 at 10:22 am Permalink
Six years ago, I actually did catch my ex-fiance cheating on me. I caught him in the act and punched him (knocking him backwards…little did he know when he taught me how to sucker punch that it would be used on him)and told him that I wanted my house key back because he was out of my house. I then proceeded to come home and took every article of clothing that he had and cut everything up, placed it in his car and took the car up the street and left it running with the keys in. I also took everything else he owned, like tools, his X-Box, etc and smashed it and threw it outside. I think that Carrie Underwood got her ideas about what to do with a cheating man from me!

i am extremely impressed by joey + rory since i saw them on can you duet? there cover of free bird is outstanding on a completely different level than the actual original
November 11, 2008 at 12:12 pm Permalink
I have been a fan of Joey + Rory since day one of Can You Duet. When other duos were broken up and paired with someone else at the beginning of the season, Joey + Rory said that they wouldn’t consider being split up. This proved to me then that they weren’t looking to sacrifice each other in order to make it big.
Although Naomi Judd’s favorite duo on the show, they were voted off but still prevailed in my opinion. I’m excited about this record and hope this is the beginning of a successful run for them.
November 11, 2008 at 12:45 pm Permalink
Oh, sure, pose a question I can’t answer. I have never been anywhere close to having a relationship so I don’t know what I’d do if a girl cheated on me. Is anyone on this forum available? :-P
November 11, 2008 at 1:22 pm Permalink
If a girl ever cheated on me…well let’s just say, with my bad temper i’d end up in jail for a long time. It feels so good to be honest lol.
November 11, 2008 at 1:35 pm Permalink
if i caught my husband cheating, i’d confront him on a talk show on national television. he’d think he’d won some contest to meet his favorite celebrity, but instead…doomsday.
November 11, 2008 at 3:27 pm Permalink
Well, where do I start. on May 6, I want to put a new insurance card in my wifes car, on removal of the old one, a very explicit love letter feel out from another man to her..Now understand, we’ve been married for 3 years and have a year and a half year old baby girl. So, i walked in, her back was to me and she was on the computer. I stood behind her and started reading her love letter, she didn’t budge, all she said is…and I quote…oh, that’s nothing. Needless to say I said to her very calmly that if it’s nothing then you wouldn’t mind if I gave it to your parents. she said nothing, so I left for the in-laws gave them the letter and they were devistated. After that I found out he was married with 3 kids. I made a copy and met with his very sweet wife and handed her the letter.. Bottom line is, both she and I filed for divorce together. And now all I’m waiting to do is start my life over.Anyway hope you liked my story..I love you guys, your music is incredible. Keep up the great, Hope i win your cd, it would make my year… :-)

If I caught my Ol’ Man cheating on me, I’d probably go all redneck on him and start cutting donuts around him and his “no good white thrash ho” with my brand new copy of “Cheater Cheater” blarin’ as loud as I could crank it for all the world to hear!
…uh, sorry. Kinda got caught up in the moment there…
Listening to Joey and Rory’s music will do that to ya! I love it!
November 14, 2008 at 8:36 am Permalink
I would have a yard sale with all of his stuff while he was at work then use the money to go shoppiong for myself, and anything that was left I would probably have a bon fire. Then tell him to get the hell out, & have a girls night!!!
November 14, 2008 at 1:11 pm Permalink
If I caught him cheating, the loser would definately be stuck with her and he would get the hell out of my house (probably prodded by my shotgun-unloaded of course). Then I’d find out where the white trash ho lived and go Carrie Underwood on his truck.
HA!
I love Joey+Rory and their REAL country music!
November 14, 2008 at 1:20 pm Permalink
wow… so many lovely options are running through my head as i type this. at the moment, my boyfriend is in love with cars. his car. my car. cars in general. i would first carve the word “cheater” into the side of his car then i’d go right up to that man stealin’ white trash hoe and tell her she can have him. why would i want an unfaithful man? he would later found out that we had broken up via my myspace relationship change =)

ps-i love your music to death =)

I have had the misfortune of catching more than one lover cheating in my time. One time I even caught one man on a romantic picnic with a you know what; so I just plopped down, ate their lunch and read her a song I had written about her. Then asked when they were getting married? They both seemd very surprised by the answer the other one gave!!! Made my day! I got rid of him and they didn’t last even the summer. So this song was really special to me when I heard it on television the first time. I taped it, copied out the words and have been singing it around the house for months. Way to go Corey and Rory. I hope I am lucky enough to win the cd since I haven’t always been lucky in love. Jnet

If I caught my husband cheating, I’d rent a billboard on the side of our main highway with the title “(his name) is having an auction at (address)! Everything must go! Nothing over $50 and that includes the boat!”
*Lololol*

First, if I found my husband of 30 years was cheating, I would be in total shock because he is the kindest sweetest man anywhere. Then if it were true, I’d clean out all our bank accounts, and give him one hour to get his stuff and get out.
I love Joey and Rory. They are so genuine. Their love for God, each other and family shine through their songs. The way they look at each other melts my heart. I wish only the best for them and as Naomi said “don’t change a thing!”

Refer to John Anderson’s ‘Red Georgia Clay’ for advice on cheating lovers.
November 16, 2008 at 4:17 pm Permalink
I feel impelled to say at this point that although cheating is bad, it’s not exactly a capital offence.
November 16, 2008 at 4:33 pm Permalink
Well if I found my girlfriend cheating, then the next time she was with the other man, it wouldn’t be cheating, as we’d be through.
November 16, 2008 at 8:02 pm Permalink
Cheating isnt a capital offence, Occasional Hope, but it shows a lack of respect for yourself, your family and especially your mate.
“White trash ho”is much nicer than anything I would call both of them. Only trashy, low lifes with no morals do it. I don’t care what their social or financial status is. Animals can’t control themselves – people can.
You go J+R, tell it like it is.
November 16, 2008 at 8:39 pm Permalink
I haven’t listened to their full album yet, but I think I would like it since it seams to lean more on the traditional side of country music.

I completely agree with all that – I was responding to the John Anderson song J R Journey cited with that comment.
November 17, 2008 at 11:59 am Permalink
Just to clarify, I don’t really condone capital murder … even against cheating lovers. I just thought it made for a nifty comment. Still do. Oh, and that’s a brilliant classic country song that is largely forgotten – even when talking about John Anderson’s catalog.

I have been waiting for a Joey + Rory CD!!! I can’t wait to get it!!! They are so great – a cross between traditional country western and the new trend in country music. I just wish they were being promoted more. Why did we not see them on the CMA awards? Are they being overlooked? I love the song they sing on the Overstock.com commercial. Maybe that could be on the next CD.

Well, that song is exactly what happened to me and that is what I thought of that HO that was doin it. I packed up his clothes and took them to the end of the driveway where she lived and dumped them out with a Big Sign where every one that passed that day read it!lol It said ” This is where you want to be so I will help you and your white trash HO out. Don’t come back home! Divorce is in the making. And that is what I did. DIVORCED his low down stickin ass. And she was TRASH. Go figure it didn’t last three months. OH well it was his choice and boy was he ever so sorry for it. NO I didn’t take him back. I got someone better and it’s been 15 yrs now. Love what the white trash whore did for me. I’m on cloud nine and she is still a HO. lol
