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.

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.

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!

This is the only Kenny Chesney album I have and I still listen to it a lot. It has many great hits on it and most of the ones that weren't hits should've been hits in my opinion. "She's Got It All" is one of my favorite country songs of all. "When I Close My Eyes" and "A Chance" were also some of the best love songs of the year. The album also has a couple more hits in the title track and "That's Why I'm Here." Other songs such as "You Win, I Win, We Lose" are also good songs in their own right and like I said, they aren't bad either.

I Will Stand is Kenny Chesney's best album to date and if you get it, you probably won't be disappointed. If you get any of Kenny Chesney's albums, I would recommend getting this one. Kenny Chesney is one of the most underrated singers in country music today, but he is slowly creeping up their with the superstars and this album was the one that got most people to notice the talent that he has.

One need only to listen to this album once to understand why each CD that Chesney releases outsells the one before. He is on his way to becoming one of country music's powerhouse artists with a tremendous mixture of heartfelt ballads like "That's Why I'm Here", "I Will Stand", and "A Chance" as well as honky tonk classics like "Steamy Windows". I can't wait for his next release to come out so I can add it to my growing collection of Kenny Chesney classics.

After the release of this album in July 1997, there was no denying after its release that Kenny would go far. This album contains some of his biggest hits. She's Got It All, the first single, shot to #1 which is no surprise, its a great fun summer time song. On You Win, I Win, We Lose its a nice ballad about a couple agreeing to compromise and not to fight over whos right. She Gets That Way is a nice track as well. I Will Stand is a beautiful ballad, which deserved to be a single. That's Why Im Here is the emotional ballad that was released and succeeded on country radio, about a man with a drinking problem. Steamy Windows is a cover of the Tina Turner classic. From Hillbilly Heaven to Honky Tonk Hell is a duet with Tracy Lawrence and George Jones. Other mentionable tracks include the ballad A Chance which was a mild country radio hit, and the acoustic version of his popular ballad When I Close My Eyes. This is a must have for any country fan, you wont know what your missing out on til you hear it!

This cd is the best one yet(as I just stated yet). My favorite song is "That's why I'm here". I went to his concert last night he was execellent! Want to see him again already. Every song is great. If you have never owned a Kenny Chesney cd before I recomend buy this one first. And get to one of his concert's before it is sold-out.

After one listen to this c.d. I realized just how underrated Kenny Chesney really is. This c.d. just dosen't have a couple good songs and the rest crappy songs, like a lot of albums do. Every song on this c.d. could be a #1. There is a lot of variety, but nothing lacks from being the best! This isin't a one hit c.d.! It is definately one of the best that I own.

This album in my opinion, is Kenny Chesney's best work. I will be very surprised if almost all the songs on this album don't hit the top ten

This album has so many meaningful songs, I love to just listen to it over and over again.
