Tuesday Music Review

John reviewed the following album -That Don't Make Me a Bad Guy by Toby Keith.

Is Toby Keith's new album, "That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy", showing off a softer side of the beer drinkin, bar brawlin, Ford truck loving cowboy? No songs about how good he once was or beer for his horses as this album comes across a little softer with songs like "I Got It For You Girl", "Hurt A Lot Worse When You Go" and "Lost You Anyway". Another nice departure can be found in "Missing Me Some You" which taps into the sounds of Memphis blues guitar. But if you're wanting old Toby, there are some hints of the Toby we all know in songs like "That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy" and "Creole Woman" and those may be my two favorites on the album. Overall, I think this is a pretty good album.

Music Review

Welcome to our new segment called - Music Review. John will be reviewing new albums each week and let you know his thoughts. He loves all kinds of music, so you never know what you might see here. We are going to post something every Tuesday. Here is the first one.

Kenny Chesney - Lucky Old Sun

Kenny Chesney's new album is nice and laid back. A little more like a good Jimmy Buffett CD than a typical country music cd. Once again, songs about island living show Kenny's interests; beaches, boats, cool drinks and the sun. "Way Down Here" and "Key's In The Conch Shell" definitely have me thinking of the islands.

Kenny also does a few duets on this album, my favorite being I'm Alive [w/ Dave Matthews]. Others guests include Mac Mcanally on "Down The Road", The Wailers on "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven" and even Willie Nelson makes an appearance on "That Lucky Old Sun".

The deluxe edition of the CD also contains some live versions of some old favorites and if you've seen Kenny live, you know his live performances are great.

Overall a good album, maybe not his best work to date, but definitely enjoyable.
