4.0 out of 5 stars Why didn't anyone notice this one?, April 30, 2002

The only reason this album didn't sell millions is because RVS's negative publicity at the time, such as his spat with the CMA. This cd is a pretty classy affair. All the songs are pretty strong, and there are at least 4 hit singles that should have been. Get this while you can, before it is totally forgotten.

This review is from: Bridge I Didn't Burn (Audio CD)

A pretty low-key, smoothly produced album. Shelton is mostly kinda workmanlike and sedate on this one, not a lot of fire or electricity... In fact, it's really kind of a snoozer -- not a song on here that really grabbed me, although "If It Weren't For Me" is a pretty good weeper. The album tanked out commercially as well, marking the start of his slide off the charts... Oh, well. At least it's reassuring that the record-buying actually *does* know when a record just isn't that good... Still, it's worth checking out because of the heights RVS can hit, and the subtlety he brings to bear...
