Has anyone also seen the video for “Everywhere I Go”? I’m glad Traveling Circus will be released next week on the 15th!

I’m a huge Phil fan, but when i first heard this song, I thought it was probably a little generic for his standards. However, after getting bashed for his attempts to try something different, can you blame him for going generic? Anyway, most of the songs that reach the top of the charts ARE generic, and I don’t see any reason this one won’t get there, especially because its co-written with Jeffrey Steele, and all his songs are hits.

But anyway, my point here is that the more i listen to this song, the less generic i think it really is. I hear people call this a sad song, and I don’t think it really is. To me, this is a song about when you get past the heartbreak, the bitterness, and the sadness, and when you look back, all you see is the good stuff. Everywhere you go in life, the littlest, most random things remind you of her, but instead of making you sad, it makes you smile. I really can’t think of any other songs out there that are like that. I’m sure there are, but they’re not coming to me right away.

I am exceptionally good at buying country music cds as well as concert tickets…I love the song ;) That being said, I don’t think it necessary to say that I disagree with your review…but what the heck…I disagree with your review. But God Bless America for your right to post it. :):) Have a great weekend all.

I genuinely enjoy this song. It is simply written & nicely sung. I agree Phil oversings it at points & it would be nice to see this without the shouting. Here’s hoping Phil can get back to the top of the charts, but doubting this song will do it.

I’ve always had a soft-spot for Phil Vassar’s brand of pop-country, always thought he was a brilliant lyric-writer. His first album was full of great songs and he has certainly been prolific as a writer of hits for other artists – he built the career of Jo Dee Messina with his songs.

And I pretty much agree with this review – it sounds like 90% of the rest of the radio hits of today. Nothing great or special about it to set it apart. I would like to see Phil have a hit with it simply because I like the man as a singer and songwriter, and it would be nice to hear him on the radio again.

“Good point. That’s certainly not the reason that Pauline Kael was a lousy film critic.”

So there aren’t many things that I would commit to physical violence for, but Pauline Kael’s honor is one of them.

Try reading Miranda Lambert reviews.

I know in the past my opinions have just led to argument here, but I want to point clear something up. There’s not once that I’ve read a Phil Vassar review on The 9513 and had it end on a positive note. Now I’m neutral concerning Vassar, he’s hit and miss for me, but after quite a few negative reviews I really want to know why The 9513 just doesn’t leave him alone and ignore him all together.

I know you guys have better things to review or reveal, I’ve seen it especially this first half of the year, so why waste time on something like this when you really DO have better things you could be doing?

That’s like saying Pauline Kael was a lousy film critic because she didn’t make movies.
Good point. That’s certainly not the reason that Pauline Kael was a lousy film critic.

Everywhere I go that I hear this song, I leave or change the station….
