I have loved RRB since the very start. This song is different in some ways from the early roots songs, but this song is equal in all rights, as its well written, from the heart, and I love it. As a guitarist, its a great riff and effect against the violin. Learn to listen and grow with an artist and stop the hating! RRB RULES.

Just got home from a RRB concert 5,000 fans strong and I gotta say the San Antonio crowd went crazy when they played this song. I am a hardcore fan and have been since their first album and can tell you the concerts are always packed with fans singing every word along with the band. I agree with the person who says the stuff out of Nashville is crap, come on most songs by Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift and others are so pop its crazy. This song may not be everyone’s cup of tea but true fans can appreciate it. Before you judge RRB make sure you know what this band is made of and that’s heart and love for their fans. Texas is proud to have such talent and no matter what critics say the fans who continue to show up and grow and grow and grow in size are all that really matters! Keep rocking RRB your fans love you dearly!

I personally find this just as bad as what’s coming out of Nashville. I don’t hear a significant difference at all – just bad songwriting, bad production, and ill-advised vocal effects.

Your review is pathetic. This isn’t typical RRB stuff, but damn…it’s good!! I’ve seen him perform it twice live and the crowd goes wild. Get with it, the crap that comes out of Nashville is just that…CRAP. This is raw, pure soul, and REAL. Nashville should take notes, Texas Country is taking the country by storm. BOOM!!

That’s a shame. I really hope that was at the behest of MCA and not RRB. I’d really hate to think they pulled a Pat Green.

Yeah, this song is pretty much as Kevin described it. It sounds like a power ballad and far removed from what I’ve heard from them before. Randy’s normally charmingly ragged voice is even totally processed or something here. Ugh.

Wow. I just noticed that they list “Don’t Take the Girl” as one of the best sad songs of all time. Yep, MCA’s clueless all right – or maybe those folks just really need to listen to some more sad songs.

Good to know that MCA Nashville is as clueless as to what makes for a great country song as Randy Rogers Band seem to be.

Kevin, I don’t know if this song is as bad as you say it is — can’t play it right now as the Internet connection is a bit iffy — but even assuming that it is, the RRB has put out some pretty good, solid country before this. I wouldn’t call them clueless.

(Sort of apropos of that, there’s a video somewhere on YouTube of Randy Rogers singing the Steve Wariner classic “Some Fools Never Learn” with just his guitar. Pretty fantastic stuff.)
