I like the song too. Its not one of his bests, but its worthy of more than a D+.

I second Trailer’s motion. Enough of the redneck songs. We get it. Also, I’m glad I’m not the only big fan of Tracy’s singing around here.

While I don’t like this song, I’ll have to say that I agree that Tracy has one of the best male voices in the business. I love to hear it, but I wouldn’t want to hear anyone sing the phone book, even my favorite voice.:) No matter how good somebody’s voice is, he/she still needs to have the material to make the voice worth listening to. And as much as I love Lawrence’s voice, I’d rather hear him sing a different song.

I’d kind of like a moratorium on redneck songs too, and maybe for a bit longer than just two years. Seriously, does anyone in a small town in the South or Midwest, or anywhere off the well-beaten path in America, really want to be defined by that label anymore? I’d like to think there’s a little bit more to such folks than the label implies.

As for Tracy Lawrence–well, let me just say that I’ve heard better male voices than his, and leave it at that.

Yeah, that’s not very good (and Tracy is probably my favorite mainstream country vocalist). I am from a redneck town where people do all these things (except become judges), and I’m a little tired of hearing about it constantly (between the pop songs masquerading as country). I call a moratorium on redneck songs for the period of 2 years. Second?

I am sorry but I happen to like this song — maybe it is the fact that I am from a redneck town where people try to do all of these things — but then again I have no issue disagreeing….

I think I’m with Paul on this one. An unremarkable song, but I’d say it’s in the C range. Tracy sells it about as well as I can imagine it being sold.

Well, that was certainly unbearable. Never cared for Lawrence in the first place, and this brings it home on why. Your grade of D+ is being generous.

Not one of his better efforts but still a C+ in my book

Tracy is such an interesting and distinctive vocalist that if he recorded the classified ads, it would warrant at least a D+.

My favorite Lawrence albums are his first three. There was a noticeable decline in the rest. I can listen to the first three from beginning to end without skipping anything, but I can’t say the same for the others.
