There are some great songs on this album. I liked the first album a lot, and this album is in that same vein.
Great cd. Who sang with shooter on "slow train"??? sounds like david allan coe, but i doubt it
"There's blood on the rug where you punched my nose!" Well fellow lone star listeners this is truly a great cd.Definetly one of my favorites to come out recently.Shooters songwriting has really come around on great gems like "Blood From A Stone",with its 80's style synthesizer, "She Live In Color", "The Wolf","A Matter Of Time", and others.Leroy Powells simple but fantastic "Slow Train" gets a great kick with the help of the Oak Ridge Boys. And I couldnt think of a better song to get a party going than Bryan Keeling and Leroy's "Higher".This album contains great lyrics and instrumentation from some truly great artist. PS. "God bless poor Anna Nicole"
This CD definitely has a different sound than his previous releases, which I don't think makes it a bad album. I think it's a very good album and it just shows Shooters musical range. I think it's good for an artist to do different things and not sound the same on every album.
I need at least 8 stars for this album. I love it
more every time I listen. I can hear freshly each time all the creative energy that it went into it, and the variety and experimentation, and new
revelations crop up among the lyrics, backups, instrumentation. It's so sing-along-able! Shooter is so far ahead of the country music game that he's had to wait for this old lady to catch up. His Sirius show is musical grad school for me, and I'm very happy to be learning from
the master! Gail
a tottaly different sound made by shooter, it's kinda "love it" or "hate it", when i listened to it for the first time i think to myself "damn, that's great" it's very southern rock, a lot of background vocal, some "sunny" songs and somme gritty ones, very similar to the latest lynyrd skynyrd; i do believe it depends of the taste of peoples who will listened it.
Cool to listen not his better album and a bit less rock... skynyrd in the beginning
Not agree with you "Beck's beer", this one really make me think of a Skynyrd album, it's a very colorful album, very cool to listen, maybe a little bit less rock than his other album, but a very good one !
this album is by far the worse made by shooter. Some tunes are cool like "walk of life" but some really sucks.... it's not even southern rock... it's a mix of gospel, pop-rock, and bad country... i'm really dissapointed with this one... however i xas waiting for it for so long, and i'm such jaded... hope the next one will be better shooter !
Shooter's last album (Electric Rodeo)is now one of my all-time faves: not a tune on it I don't like. I hope the new one isn't some kind of concession to be more "country," because he mixes country and rock quite well. So far, from what I've heard, _The Wolf_ is quite strong and catchy, if a little smoother and more commericial than its predecessor.
