Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Country Music Winner Comment: Here's hoping this new voice is not just a flash in the pan artist. Love the range and his authenticity. Customer Rating: Summary: For a Friend Comment: Bought it for the track about cleaning this gun. I gave it to a friend who does not like Country Music, but, since he has 2 daughters, he loves the song. One of the great songs for dads with daughters. Customer Rating: Summary: my daughter loves the cd Comment: i purchased the cd for my daughter she loves it thanks '''sharon poore Customer Rating: Summary: Good album Comment: This album fell just a little short of my expectations. It hasn't stuck to me yet but it is still a good album. The "hits" are all very strong and enjoyable but there are a few songs that just don't do anything for me. Customer Rating: Summary: if you're gonna listen Comment: To be honest, I am new to the whole country music scene. From my standpoint this is a great CD. I love the melodies that Rodney chooses for his songs. My least favorite song is "What I love about the South" simply because I hate the twang in it. I love "Come on in boy (cleaning this gun)", "If You're Going through Hell" and "Watching you." Even with the bit of twang, it is still a good country rock album that deserves a listen... even to those who do not consider themselves "die-hard" country fans. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: East Tennessee singer-songwriter Rodney Atkins scored a chart-topper with the title track of this second release, reframing the Irish drinking toast ("May you be in heaven five minutes before the devil knows you're dead") in a modern context and tying it all up in a Celtic/banjo wrapping fit for Keith Urban. It's a solid effort, and performed with unusual aplomb for a newcomer. But as the rest of the album shows, Atkins seems torn between being a thoughtful, poetic craftsman ("Angel's Hands," "Invisibly Shaken," "A Man on a Tractor") and a hero for redneck simpletons. On the opening "These Are My People," he works the family-values-and-small-town stereotypes to death, continuing with "About the South," a Charlie-Daniels-as-God number on which he's backed by an irritating group of chorines that sound suspiciously like the Hee Haw Hunnies. Which path will Atkins ultimately choose, NPR or Wal-Mart? His second single, "Watching You"--a doing-everything-like-Daddy paean--probably tells the tale. --Alanna Nash
