Huey Lewis gives Stevie Wonder a run for his money on the harmonica, but that is the only real highlight here. Phil Vassar’s version with Huey is better.

Pretty catchy melody, I actually enjoy it, but not as good as “More Than A Memory”. The harmonica is pretty good though.

I’m a huge fan of both Huey & Garth, but this remake fails to recapture the excitement & energy of the original. I hope it is successful because who the artists are, but if you’re looking for a great country version of “Workin For A Livin” that turned out perfectly, try Phil Vassar’s take on it.

I like the music in this song, but his voice sounds funny. It has a dry quality to it that is not usual for him. He kind of has that voice in his “Magic of Christmas” CD too.

This, to me, is normal for Garth Brooks, to release a song I hate. I’m not trying to discredit Garth Brooks, I just don’t like him at all. More Than A Memory was actually shocking, because I liked it! But this does nothing for me.

Is it just me, or have all the songs about working been terrible lately?

Wow, this is even worse than hearing Jo Dee Messina singing “Hip to be Square” in concert. Garth can and should do way better than cover this mediocre song that Sesame Street turned into a kids song once.

Interesting…not my favorite, but you are correct, he should definitely follow his wifes lead on making music these days, she is utterly fantastic!
