If I could it would be a 0 star CD. This really sucks. He sounds like he's trying to imitate Tim Mcgraw. He is getting exponentially worse with every CD. Should have stuck with stuff like "Like it used to be"
Enjoy this album as much as any other! The band is still writing and playing their own music. As long as they keep doing that, they'll keep making great albums. ***for the band*** after playing the 10/31 gig in college station, should hop over to Lubbock and watch game of the year! Can't wait till the next time yall come to the LBK.
According to a reviewer, "Just because you finally start to make it after years of touring doesn't mean you "sold out". That's correct. It's when you change your sound to appeal to a more "mainstream" audience that you've sold out. It's not because of better equipment, talent, or anything else except changing sound to appeal to certain crowds for better sales and exposure. If someone wants better sales and exposure, that's ok, but if you change your sound to something your producer, label or other songwriter wants in order to get that, then you've sold your creativity for something, and that is a crime in this business of "authentic" musicianship. A great example is Robert Earl Keen. He's stayed "Texas" through the years and became "rich" by doing things his way. He's changed sounds but always stayed honest; never to appeal to crowds, only to appeal to himself. RRB has changed their sound drastically since they signed a big label deal. Today they sound like a thousand other "hat" acts on CMT. There is little difference in sound. They're not the first band to do this, and they won't be the last. They will however find out (like Pat Green, Jack Ingram, Lost Trailers, Etc) that it doesn't work.
Last album - not very good. This one makes up for it. Great songs, his voice is different in a good way - NICE to hear the energy again.
This is yet another incredible album from RRB. As for you that think this band sold out you don't know what you’re talking about. This band writes their own music and is out on that road 300 plus days a year for us the fans. Go to one of their shows and that will show you what kind of band they are. They let you know that the fans are one of the main reasons they are out there doing what they do. And in the word of Randy Rogers himself, "I Love My Job!" They do what they do because they love it. Just because you finally start to make it after years of touring doesn't mean you "sold out".
new album is great...always irritates me the sell out talk..seen randy rogers band this summer they a long way from sold out...they are just hitting their stride..just not any songs about texas or dope on it so they must be another sell out..........hide and watch kids....in my arms instead will be the song of the year........

Sound is still the same, quality of production has improved. You can't say THEY(has always been about the band not just one member) because they signed with a nashville label. Isn't that the goal, to sign with big labels and flood the industry with Texas artists so that we don't have to listen to the stuff that's on the radio now?
