This album is a great achievement in country music! His voice, his looks, his "real" country sound, make up the total package of perfection! I never get tired of listening to this album. He's also wonderful to see "live"! He has the audience participating and it was thoroughly enjoyable!
I cannot wait for his next album to be released. I also enjoy his first album, "Six of one, Half Dozen of Another", but his voice has matured very well since then. And, for me, I am glad he doesn't look like the traditional country singer with a cowboy hat (Although he does look fantastic wearing one, that gets so old and it's like their all "clones" instead of individuals.
Keep it coming Joe!

Since I was a country DJ years ago and got a copy of Joe Nichols FIRST cd back in 1996, called "Joe Nichols", I've been a great fan of his. I've waited six long years for Joe to get signed to a major label, and I am not disappointed in this CD. I kind of hoped he might have included a couple of the great songs from his first CD, since no one really ever heard them on the radio as often and on as many stations as they should have been played on. His voice, the traditional feel of the music, and the subject matter are all perfect country and combine for one super listening experience. For six years I've enjoyed the first ten songs Joe Nichols has recorded, now I have 12 more to add to the rotation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best country cd of 2002!!, January 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Man with a Memory (Audio CD)

This is without a doubt THE best country cd of 2002, beating out Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, and Tim McGraw by a mile. Now you're probably saying no way. Well, i'm a huge fan of all three of the above artists and own all three of their new cds for 2002, but once i heard Joe Nichols cd Man With A Mission i knew who the winner was. Why? Simply because Joe's cd sounds like pure retro country. His cd is a shining example of what country music should sound like, and not the confusing "rock masquerading as country" tag that many of today's new country artists have. I mean let's be honest here: Although Emerson Drive and Shania Twain both put out fantastic cds this year that i really enjoyed, neither of those two cds are very country-sounding. Joe Nichols' voice and the production of the songs are pure country. Every track on the cd is a gem and a pure joy to listen to. I can't recommend this cd enough. I only wish i could rate it higher. This guy is gonna go places and be around for a long time, and is gonna give Alan Jackson a run for the money. Watch out, Alan, you've just been knocked down a notch. My only beef with Joe Nichols is his look. With his curly hair and clean-shaven face he looks more like he belongs in the group Creed, than singing country. I'd suggest growing some facial hair and sporting a cowboy hat.
