Little Texas became popular in the mid-90s with their unique blend of country and pop styles. These musical attributes are very distinctive on this great cd. Combining excellent vocals with high-powered insturmentals, Little Texas carved out a niche in both the pop and country genres.

The songs on this cd are truly great. Leading off is the hard-driving title track. The guitars and drums are very noticeable on this song. The tempo slows a little on "Amy's Back in Austin", my favorite song on the disc, and Brady Seals' "Southern Grace". "She's Cool" gets the tempo flowing again, and the momentum continues on "A Night I'll Never Remember".

This is the best cd put out by Little Texas. All of the songs are very good, and a pop music fan will enjoy it just as much as a country fan. Pop Little Texas into the cd player and enjoy some good pop/country music at its very best.

"Kick A Little", "I'd Hold On To Her", "Amy's Back In Austin",and "Southern Grace" are all songs that are of radio nature and sound good. My personal favorite on the album is "Your Days Are Numbered" which has a sound similar to the Eagles but Little Texas style. It could have been a big hit on radio if it was a single. I highly recommend this album to any country music fan.

Little Texas is a fine hybrid between country and pop. Well let`s called it "country poprock". There are many small "gems" on this CD. Track 1 Kick a little is the first kickstarter.
This is a fine rythmic earfiller, with enough uptempo beat to make it a small winner if you wann`a :party,party,party. Track 2 I`d hold on to her, is a little bit more slow moving, and to be honest, it doesn`t really kick off. It spinns around and around with the same theme with not to much variations. Track 3 Amy`s back in Austin is a minor gem, in the classical country rock style. The melody is easy to remember, and has that good spinal chord feel, with small good freezes down your`e back. Track 4 Southern Graze is an ok ballad. The problem. Much of the melody has to many cliches. Easy in, easy out. Track 5 She`s cool, is more in the blues land.
Not to cool, but nice guitar plonk inbetween here and there.
Track 6 Your Days are numberd is good ole country rock, in the "easy listening" territory, and sound`s like Poco in it`s style. Track 7 Inside is a ballad, but you have heard much of the same once again. Ballad`s are noth Little Texas strength. Track 8 A night i``ll never remember kick`s in the right direction. It has a rythm and a melody which are easy to follow. Achy Breaky rythm which shows quality in every department. Track 9 Hit country song, is not a hit. This is poor man`s classical "try to be country" which swings ok, but that`s it. Track 10 Redneck like me has a refrain, but some how not very ok put together. But overall this Cd Kicks on most of the track`s in the right direction. A good introduction to the band it is. Kick`s a whole lot this one

This is a group about on par with groups I listen to in this area (Vicksburg/Jackson, Mississippi). The main problem with a CD of this type is that it's limited mainly to original songs by members of the group, so you don't get a wider range of music (same problem with CDs put out by my musician friends). Groups usually play a wider range of music, and this group, like others, can do well on a club tour or a casino circuit. My musician friends tell me that they need to play casinos or private gigs to make any money (they would starve on what clubs pay, but most of them have day jobs).

In any case, this CD has 10 cuts and is worth a listen. Total playing time is not given.
