This is with out a doubt a must have CD. Love of My Life is the greatest country love song in years. One Day Left to Live is also a great love song with a little twist from the usaul love song. Matches is a unique break up song. Honky tonk america is a great rockin country song. Not one song on this CD is a bad one. It will make you a Sammy Kershaw instantly.

This CD is great! It starts off with a great tribute to the working man, in "Honky Tonk, America" and finishes with the heartfelt "Love of My Life." This is a good mix of all of what Sammy does well, highlighting his great vocal abilities, but not compromising the traditional country style that has made him a great musician.

Here's an underrated singer whose vocal talent shows he deserves more success than he has achieved.

But furthermore he's also become his own man now on this album and vocal comparisons with George Jones are long gone.

Keith Stegall's production here allows Sammy to breathe and gives full presence to his voice rather than hiding it with banging drums and guitars. Even on the rockiest of songs here like the title track or Roamin' Love, the singer sings the hell out of the songs.

The last song on this set, Love Of My Life, is a beautifully-written ballad whose lyrics are simple, it must be said, but had the song been more involved lyrically, it would have diminished its impact and meaning.

Sammy also reflects on life in One Day Left To Live, gets cajun with Little Did I Know and all the others songs work perfectly for him. This is just his best record to date.

Good CD. I like it! I bought it. The end

this item was new but had 2 scratches on it. the disc was a gift so i couldn't return it.

Of all his albums, Labor of Love stands out as the best one ever. The lyrics and music flow smoothly and perfectly from each song to the next. The feel of the album is strong throughout. I have come back to this album time after time, year after year as a pick me up and and a dance the night away and for "drinking" music when the world is glum indeed. Love you Sammy - come back to your roots and you'll find your fans are still here!

Sammy Kershaw has such a deep voice. It is so relaxing to
hear it. I love this CD. I especially like the ballads and
I think he does ballads best. His voice is so smmoth and
just ha a strong impression. I really think he is a very
underated country singer. This CD consists of fast country
tunes and ballads. It is country all the way.

Love Of My Life, is my favorite. Every song on the CD has an appeal for anyone who loves country. Every type and stlye of song.

I have seen Sammy Kershaw in concert, and he is just as good on CD as he is live. This CD is by far one of his best...He has a powerful voice with powerful lyrics. He uses an incredible mix of both slow and fast on this album.

I bought this CD for "Love of My Life", but there are a lot of really good songs on here besides that one. Granted, there are a few I skip over, but overall this CD is a winner!!
