David's roots are clearly in traditional country but his music has a contemporary edge to it. He is well capable of singing both ballads and up-tempo songs, always on themes that you expect from country singers. David writes (at least on this album) all of his own songs, though sometimes with the help of a co-writer.

The album starts in great style with Every time I get around you, an up-tempo love song. Of the other songs, my favorites are Genuine rednecks (another up-tempo song to get those toes tapping), 100 years to late (a ballad about a man reflecting on white might have been), Breakfast in Birmingham (a mid-tempo song about a man wishing he hadn't asked a woman to leave him) and I've been a rebel (a reflective ballad). All the other songs are also of a high quality.

David was one among many brilliant country singers that emerged in the nineties and had some success but was unable to sustain it. Nevertheless, if you enjoy the music of Alan Jackson, you will probably enjoy this album.

I have been a fan of David Lee since "Out With A Bang"came out.My favorites on "Gettin'Out The Good Stuff"are "Everytime I get Around You","The Road You Leave Behind",and "Genuine Rednecks".This CD is not a waste at all.It is the best one that I own.COUNTRY MUSIC AT ITS BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have all of David Lee Murphy's CD's and love them all, however, this has got to be one of my favorites. There is not one song on this CD that I don't like. He's got the ballads and he's got the rockers. If you've never heard him before, check him out. I guarantee you will like him!

Country music started to lose its edge in the mid 90s and albums almost had to follow some sort of formula. This one in a sense did that, but for some reason it has staying power, whereas most of the country albums that came out at that time have just kind of faded away. The guitars are great, Murphy's got the voice thing going on, and the lyrics are a good match. I don't know anyone who doesn't like "The Road You Leave Behind." Most tracks pay homage to rednecks and the rural lifestyle, which is something I appreciate. I love this CD, but would like to offer David Lee Murphy one piece of advice: Lose the hat. Your hair is too big.

I, too, have all of Davids CD's and love every one of them. He never got the recognition in country music that he deserved but he's tops in my book. He puts on rockin' live shows and I've met him many times over the years. He is also an awesome songwriter and I'm proud to call him my friend!

all round good cd. loved him from the old cmt days. the freight was a bit expensive, but i'll know next time!!
