5.0 out of 5 stars STAND is 1 of KC's best, May 4, 2002

Kenny Chesney's 1997 album I WILL STAND provides some of his best material, and overall one of his most consistent albums. The album opens with the summer sing-along song, the #1 hit "She's Got It All". The album has the perfect balance of uptempo country songs, and beautiful ballads. The song "That's Why I'm Here" is a touching ballad about an alcoholic, a definite highlight on the CD. Kenny also manages to do a cover of Tina Turner's "Steamy Windows" and does the song justice. He also joins Tracy Lawrence and George Jones on the honky tonk, "From Hillbilly Heaven To Honky Tonk Hell". Some touching ballads include "I Will Stand", "A Chance", and the acoustic version of past hit "When I Close My Eyes". Other highlights include "You Win, I Win, We Lose", "Lonely Needin Lovin" and "She Always Says It First", but there is no bad song on here, no filler whatsoever. Overall I WILL STAND is a consistent album and one of his best. Give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong Effort, February 20, 2002

By the time this album came out, Kenny Chesney was beginning to make a name for himself in country music. His past hits included The Tin Man, Fall In Love, Me And You, When I Close My Eyes, Back Where I Come From and more. He started making an even bigger noise with this cd, I WILL STAND. The first single, and opening track, "She's Got It All" is an upbeat country song, which was a huge hit due to its catchy lyrics and just being a great song overall. The album features some compelling love songs/ballads, such as "You Win, I Win, We Lose", "I Will Stand", "A Chance" and more. Also, a big song is the song "That's Why I'm Here" about a man with a drinking problem. Other well talked about songs include the cover of the Tina Turner song "Steamy Windows" (which he sure does justice to), the collaboration with Tracy Lawrence and George Jones on "From Hillbilly Heaven To Honky Tonk Hell", and the acoustic version of his hit single "When I Close My Eyes". This is overall a really satisfying album, and its clear that with this album and his ones that come after it, Chesney will be around for a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great cd, May 19, 2002

This CD, a great leap of growth from "Me and You". The ballads are one of the best he has ever done in his carreer, including the self-titled song, "I will stand" and "A Chance" two very good and touching songs. "She's Got it All" of course is a classic song, and the video goes along to why the girls really do love Kenny. "That's why I am here" is a career marker. His biggest hit to date to be honest. Never has he had a song that has touched almost listener. Its a great effort by Kenny Chesney, and I recommend it to the highest degree. KC is the best!
