Who does T-country thinks they are i don’t what your problem is with not liking Gary Levox. He is probably is one of the best country singers out there if not the best. You know who he appeal to is everbody who have to grow up with out a dad to go fishing or hunting with. Maybe if you didn’t have a dad u would know what we r going through. Come on get life. If u didn’t know Gary is my cousin and i will be seeing him this holiday season i will tell about the person who doesn’t have a brain!

Wow, such a bunch of critics! I got this album this week and have spent a week listening to nothing else.

The Christian messages are POWERFUL, and Phil is, for me, a kind of magical voice.. doesn’t fit any mold..

He’s goofy looking and you wouldn’t think that voice would come out of him, but hey, same for LeVox.. oh, and LeVox is also a bit weak in person but fabulous in studio… it’s the pressure, I think… you’re live, you get one shot, tough stuff..

But this is my new favorite album.. “Identity”, “It’s Who You Know”, “Lookin’ like love”… strong stuff!

I think Phil has the blandest voice in country music right now. No emotion whatsoever. This could’ve been a good song if even Jason Sellers had cut it.

i liked this song until he got to the part where he repeated “if you didn’t love me” three times while trying to stretch his voice across the scale resulting in a very gary levox type sound, making it seem as if he’s trying way to hard to sound good and failing miserably

See him live and you’ll change your tune, he’s incredible. I enjoyed him last year on Idol, but seeing him live was totally different. I instantly became a fan, and cant wait till the cd is released. There are some great tracks that arent all about love of a wife!!
If promoted the right way he will go far. I’ve said the same about other artists I saw from the beginning and all of them have made it to the top.

This is pretty bland and forgettable. I wasn’t a big Phil fan on AI. If he can’t make it at country radio, I think he will be gone very quickly. I don’t really see him as a country artist but this seems to be his only shot.

My only point (even if I made it sarcastically) was even for artists who are devoted husbands or wives – sometimes they’re not actually singing love songs directly to their spouses. More often than not they’re choosing songs their A&R team have pre-selected for them to review. And if all he’s going to sing is love songs all day long he stands the risk of becoming a one-trick pony.

I’ll be interested to see the track list for the album once Universal’s distribution company starts soliciting the record.

Also, in reading this CMT article, it seems that Lonestar’s record label dropped them due to low record sales. The article says:

“After Lonestar hit it big with “Amazed” in 1999, the group seemed unstoppable. That song held the No. 1 spot on the country charts for eight weeks. Later
came “What About Now” (four weeks at No. 1) and, in 2001, “I’m Already There” (six weeks). Lonely Grill — the 1999 album that yielded “Amazed” and “What
About Now,” plus the shorter-lived No. 1′s “Smile” and “Tell Her” — sold 3 million copies.

And the chart-toppers kept coming — “My Front Porch Looking In” in 2003 and “Mr. Mom” (two weeks) in 2004. But then things began to slow down. While Lonely
Grill, I’m Already There (2001) and From There to Here: Greatest Hits (2003) all achieved platinum or multi-platinum certification, the group’s next album,
Let’s Be Us Again (2004), reached only gold status. Coming Home (2005) didn’t even go gold, and Mountains (2006) has sold only 89,000 copies, according
to Nielsen SoundScan, the service that monitors retail record sales.”

89 thousand is a very low number coming from a once popular group.
