i am sorry but this is the dumbest arguement ever. honestly kenny and tim are great artists that have had their shares of good and bad cds. even as a huge kenny fan, i will admit that this was not his greatest work, however i believe that people should stop tearing him apart and forget. Don’t Blink, Dancin’ for the Groceries, Wife and Kids and Just not today were among the few good songs on the cd. kenny is a crowd favortie and i doubt that this letdown will effect his carrer at all

Ok, I’m gonna leap in and, sadly, keep this line of conversation going. What, exactly, is it, Aeroyacine, that Tim McGraw can give us that no other artist has or can give us?

Sorry Guys i wouldn’t shocked you, but i’m a big fan of Tim McGraw, so for me there’s no Hank Williams ,no Willie Nelson and the others are great than Tim McGraw !!!!!!!!!!! Tim have a special thing that no other Country Artist can give us!

I most certainly agree with the original comments in regard to Kenny’s newest CD. There are possibly two songs on that album that are definitely good, but the album is pretty much a repeat of his previous albums. Having said that, the gentleman definitely has something that millions of people like!

WOW, Mr. Whitaker, your healthy dose of “chastisement” for Aeroyacine definitely crossed a line. Words like “stupidity” and “ignorant” are unbeliveably harsh concerning an individual you know nothing about. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are extremely special to me as country artists and their music is some of the best out there (IMO), but I will agree thinking of Tim as the Godfather of country music is a bit farfetched at this point in time. BUT, this may not be the case for Aeroyacine! The possibility is he/she knows nothing about Hank, Johnny, or Ray, and is uninformed in regard to country music; but this doesn’t make him/her stupid or ignorant by any stretch of the imagination. Bad choice of adjectives, sir!

I taught school for 18 years and I can tell you it takes very little to “destroy” an individuals self image and self confidence in regard to conversation or opinions. Since you obviously are well informed concerning Country Music, you have a great opportunity to educate others who are less informed. It would be ” a shame ” for you to miss out on the chance to educate others about Country Music and the artists who have made it a great musical genre!

Aeroyacine, I will agree that Tim’s “Let It Go” album is 100 times greater than Kenny’s new CD, but I’m pretty sure Tim has a lot to do before he reaches that Godfather status you referred to! Keep posting your opinions, keep reading, and use the www to research (it is an awesome informational tool); this is a great way to increase your knowledge about anything you want to learn about! Have a good one! Lynn

I was going to pass on even delving into commenting on this album, as I wholly agree with the review. Nothing more to add there. However, I couldn’t allow the comment by Aeroyacine to pass without a good healthy dose of chastisement. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON????????? Tim McGraw is the “Godfather” of country music? You, my friend, have no idea the level of stupidity you have achieved in just one mere sentence. Please, educate yourself, or at least read the archives of this blog and allow Kevin to do so. While Tim McGraw is a great artist, and I felt that Let It Go was his strongest release in years, he is far from the so called Godfather you speak of. Have the names Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Ray Price, and the entire slew of Hall of Famers that came before never crossed your mind, nor the airwaves you listen to? I believe that even Tim would laugh at your comment, and totally disagree. Its great that you’re a fan. I’m sure that he appreciates your support. But please, refrain from making such completly igonarant comments in public. It’s a shame for you, and a sad day to those of us who know better that there are folks like you who have no knoweledge or respect for the roots of Country Music.

Between this album and Let It Go of Tim McGraw , Let It Go is 100times great. Logical because no one can reach the HIGH level of Tim McGraw; The GODFATHER of the Country Music

Same songs, second verse! I think I’m just tired of hearing his voice…..it’s just not that good to me! He’s played entirely too much on country radio….JMO!

A littel harsh, but worth no more than three stars anyway

While I admit this isn’t Kenny’s best work, I would have given it a 3 1/2. Its actually pretty good as far as concepts and its nice to see Kenny explore some new ground.
