Griggs has a rich voice that allows him to communicate all of the emotion of a song - and this album provides a great selections of outlets for his talent. Tattoo Rose was a single on some stations and is a twist on the brokenheart/I-am-yours-forever ballads that are often associated with Andy - but its a great song nevertheless. Those other ballads are on here; Tears and Time, What If It's Me, and If You Had Called Yesterday are all samples of "classic Griggs" that either will be on the radio or should be. You can check out the samples but there really isn't a stinker on here for any Griggs or modern country fan, and this is one of those cd's that you'll play through again and again. Keep one in your truck; you'll be glad you did.

This cd really showcases Andy's vocals and musical style. The song Long Stretch of Lonesome reminds me of something Waylon would record. It is fun and has a great beat. New Orleans Lady is sexy and its a great tribute to New Orleans. There are some real gut wrenching ballads on the cd too. What a great cd.

Another GREAT cd from Mr. Griggs. From the wonderful ballads (What If It's Me, Tears and Time) to the country rockers (Long Stretch of Lonesome) to his tribute to hos home state with "New Orleans Lady"
there isn't a bad one on here. These could all be hits.

This new cd has been worth the wait.

GREAT JOB Andy...

Andy Griggs has always been a favorite of mine. This CD did not disappoint me. Again he has outdone himself. The purchase of this CD thru Amazon was a very delightful experience. Great service & I received it in record time.

Wow is all I can say! If this cd is not a huge success there is something wrong!

Eagerly anticipating Andy's new release, I was comforted to hear the classic Griggs back on the CD player! His soulful sound has touched me since his first release & its good to be connected again! Give Andy a shot - you won't be disappointed!

Pure country rock almost as good as Andy's first album.
The only bad thing in this CD is the picture on the jacket!

After a successful three-CD run at RCA that yielded a pair of top-10 album entries and six top-10 singles, Nashville country-rocker Griggs moved to the indie Montage label. This latest release makes good on the huskier promise his voice always implied, by doing away with the mannered arrangements with which he was framed at RCA. His hand-picked producer, Frank Myers, loads up muscled guitars, bass and drums, ala Montgomery Gentry and Big & Rich, and spurs Griggs to dig down for grittier performances. Unlike the Muzik Mafia's cohorts, Griggs mostly sings without irony, pouring emotion into the lyrics of upbeat rockers, banjo-lined country tunes and ballads alike. This isn't to suggest he can't lighten up, as he does in reading the riot act of "You Can't Drive My Cadillac," but it's the exception in a program of serious songs. The album's first singles, "Tattoo Rose" and "What If It's Me" stalled in the mid-50s, but that's more a reflection on country radio's MOR tastes (and major label dependency) than the energy and quality of Griggs' work. Those who liked Griggs voice but found his RCA releases limited by Nashville's studio sound should give him a second listen; fans will enjoy hearing his passion unleashed.

andy griggs has one of the richest voices in country music today.
i knew this CD was gonna be good and it has become one of my favorites.
there are ballads and country rockers. andy griggs voice, his band,
and the background singers just fall into place with ease. this is by far
his best CD since his 1999 debut. he has his own style. great CD

Another great one by Griggs. The only problem I am having is purchasing the album in stores. Possibly it was only released on line. I dont know, but its a great one. I was fortunate enough to see Andy in concert a few years ago...and hes not only a great singer..but hes cute!
