I also love that the production is not like the typical Music Row sound.. well, at least the 9 songs done at Gasoline studio. They gave those tracks a whole new sound that is a breath of fresh air. The 3 other tracks (from Starstruck) are still great, but have the same “Nashville sound” we all have heard before.

Get the album. You won’t be disappointed.

R.M.,

The production is a lot like the first single. At least 9 of the tracks. 3 are produced by Mark “I drive a Bentley” Bright.

Country music survives and thrives through its ability to evolve while keeping the same heart. The single is a prime example of something that can breathe life into the same old production that we’ve all heard for the past 5 or so years. It’s heart and tradition lives within the emotional and painful lyrics, where the production offers a fresh take on how to tell such an emotional story. Jimmy has mentioned that he wanted the album to feel more inspirational than depressing (maybe like a few of his previous singles). If the production on the album is anything like the single than I will be more than satisfied.

You know, after hating the production of this originally, I have grown to like that the production (on 9 of the tracks) isn’t typical music row production. It’s more ‘edgy’ I guess (if I had to put a word to it).

I’ve never really gotten into Jimmy Wayne for some reason. I guess his songs really never have interested me. I am interested in the Loveless duet though.

Dan,

I didn’t get that Jimmy’s a “KU knock-off.” I actually really like the record. It’s not landmark by any stretch but I don’t think it’s 2.5 stars either more 3.5. So, hopefully you’ll like it. It’s an interesting album.

Well, dang. I already went out on a limb and pre-ordered this one before any reviews were published. I enjoyed some of the stuff on his debut – he just seems very earnest, and that’s always a nice quality in country-pop – but I remember worrying that he might turn into a Keith Urban knock-off, so it’s an especially big bummer to hear that at least one of the songs comes across that way. Oh well; I’ll see how I like it once it comes in.
