5.0 out of 5 stars JMM's first and best, December 1, 2001

This review is from: Life's a Dance (Audio CD)

An unfortunate trend amongst young male country singers from the early 1990s was to produce an outstanding, real country first album before veering down the path of increasingly pop-driven music. This was never more true than in the case of John Michael Montgomery, whose 1992 debut CD Life's A Dance is an undoubted 5 star release. Full of great stone country (Beer And Bones, Life's A Dance, Nickels And Dimes And Love - originally recorded by Charley Pride - and Dream On Texas Ladies), Montgomery's infectious vocal twang saw him immediately rack up the first of several country number ones. The album's biggest hit was the quality ballad, I Love The Way You Love Me. Unfortunately, as early as his second album Kickin' It Up (the title suggests more excitement than the album delivered), Montgomery's song selections became more MOR and less traditional country. His greatest hits CD is worth a listen, but if you want one JMM album in your collection, it has to be this, his first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Traditional style country, February 21, 2001

John Michael is truly a great country singer. A voice at times reminiscent of Garth Brooks, but more traditional than Garth. This album contains some great good ol' country tunes. The sad ballads to love songs, to up-tempos. "I love the way you love me" was a big hit, and my personal favourite from the album. It was also later covered by Boyzone. This album was recorded in 1992 (I think it was his debut, but don't hold me to that), and he is still going strong.

Life Is A Dance For John Michael. The Title Track Became His First Top Ten Hit. But It Was The Romantic Balled "I Love The Way You Love Me" That Became His First Number 1 Hit In 1993. "Beer And Bones" Is A Dance Song. It Can Make You Get Up And Dance The Night Away. This CD Is A Must Have.
