Four big #1’s in a row, and this one still hasn’t hit Top 40 (as of the 7/12 chart at least). Personally, I think that Rodney *always* sings like he has a potato chip stuck in his throat, but I don’t mind his voice at all.

I like it. I think it got off to a shaky start vocally (no pun there). Kinda like he had a potato chip or piece of popcorn stuck in his throat. But after that first verse, it smoothed out. And I think it’s a killer song. I think they should’ve done a re-take on that first vocal, but otherwise I love it.

This is by far my favorite song from “If You’re Going Through Hell” … I don’t know why. I sense a lot of the issues with it that the review addresses, but ever since I bought the album it’s been the song from it that most directly impacts me emotionally.

Of course, I also was a huge fan of Big & Rich’s “Never Mind Me,” so take it for what it’s worth.

For those who like moving ballads, I recommend seeking out Shannon Brown’s “I Don’t Move You”

irony!

Its an interesting ballad and a real cut above the typical pop-rock drivel on mainstream country radio, but the tempo is too slow and the instrumentation too sparse early in the song. If this song does do well on the charts, it will be primarily due to Rodney’s fans giving it a lot of support. As the pop-rock sound has taken over country radio the preferred sound has become peppy, up-tempo songs with pounding drums and screaming electric guitars, and this song is the opposite.

Rodney has always channeled early Tim McGraw, but on this one he should have channeled Michael Bolton as well since this song deserves a somewhat emotionally overwrought vocal presentation…..

PS – For those who like moving ballads, I recommend seeking out Shannon Brown’s “I Don’t Move You” from her unreleased first album. A music video was available on YouTube for a short while and then got yanked, which I don’t understand. Shannon really is a fine torch singer……

Yep, Rodney Crowell was the last person to get 5 #1’s off of a record. It might be cool for Rodney Adkins to get to the record as well but, like I said before, I doubt he will.

I think I read somewhere that the last person to get give #1s from the same album was Rodney Crowell, so, if that’s the case, this could probably be more of a record type thing rather than milking the album for singles.

Brody, you missed the chance to throw onomatopoeia out there. You can’t pass up that kinda opportunity.

It’s ok, but I dont see it going #1 like the past 4 songs Rodney had put out have.

I think “Man On A Tractor” would have been a better choice for the 5th single.
