This is cd is AMAZING. That's about the only way to dscribe it. Wade's voice and songwriting have reached a new level. AMAZING
Those who say they don't like the album because it is too slow needs a reality check. If you want fast upbeat drinking songs listen to Nashville country. It's about the lyrics in this part of the country. I'm pretty sure when Wade's wife was going through her post-pardum depression, he wasn't thinking about writing songs about partying. Give me a break. This album is pure genius. I would rank it right up there with Lost Hotel. If not above it. Probably my favorite of all 2008 albums.
Rick in Odessa is an idiot. While Texas, drinkin, and partying are all great, Texas music is about real songwriters writing what they feel without a bunch of producers and record labels changing up everything. If you want the same stuff forced into songs over and over go listen to Kenny Chesney. Wade...keep up the good work buddy.
By far the best CD to date. Every song on this CD relates to someone or something someone has gone through in there life. From You had me at my best to Somewhere Beautiful it is a perfectly balanced album. Love the music. Keep up the good work you guys are doing great.
One of the best records of 2008!
Wade, I hated to give ya just 4 stars, but this CD is a little "down" than the others, but sometimes, ya gotta write what ya feel and this is a good CD, but you could have brightened it up in a couple of spots. Keep up the good work, love your sound.
This album is by far his worst and that saddens me. I was really looking foward to this album and am really disapointed. There is nothing to be happy about, nothing to drink to, and no songs about Texas! Cause really, that's what Texas Music is all about, Good times, drinking, love and Texas! This whole album is dark and moody, nothing like Try Not To Listen, which I think is his best or Lost Hotel. Wade, I love your music man, and will still continue to support you, but what happened to Wade Bowen AND West 84??? What happened to acoustics and steel guitars, violins and up beat-feel good music? music? Come on man and go back to your roots...
Steve - I agree, you're lost. If you can't tell the difference between this and the last couple of Pat Green records, you need to get your ear-holes checked.
If this is Texas music, i must be lost. Welcome to Pat Green's band and back up orchestra music. Find a steel or violin in this mess!!!
