I am in the music store last week and I notice a member of Sister Hazel has a solo album. I'm thinking that Drew didn't write much stuff for the Sister Hazel's Lift album, so how good could his album be. Sister Hazel is "THE Southern Rock band" and I have appreciated their honest straightforward music for years, so I look at the Drew Copeland CD and decide I've still got to have it. I pluck down my cash and off I go. Popped it in the CD player and WOW! Great stuff, Drew. From the opening cut to number 11, this is great songwriting, great music and he can even sing. It doesn't sound like Sister Hazel. It is more melodic and very well written. Drew has pulled off this solo gig with passion, honesty and the ability to still have a little fun. My South is one of my favorite cuts as it showcases Drew's songwriting talent and maturity as well as being proud of his heritage. Not a throw away cut on the whole CD. If you don't own this one already, you are missing a great artist in the prime of his musical life. Hoping there will be a few more cuts of Drew's on the next Hazel album. Maybe a two CD set with Ken and the band's songs on one and Mr. Copeland and the band's on the other. The first five star CD I've heard this year!

First off, as a HUGE Sister Hazel fan, I had to buy this CD. And boy am I glad I did. As a musician myself and a bit of a studio and production dabbler, I must say that the production on this CD is top notch, which I have a bad habit of making that the first thing that I listen for on a CD. But once the CD made it past that level, we move on to musical and lyrical content and quality. The difference between this album and all of SisHaz's other albums is this one used studio session musicians. Seasoned pros who breathe most of their air from inside a studio, contrary to all of SisHaz's CD's where they spend most of their time writing and touring. Not saying that is bad, but it gives it a completely different feel and sound. Anyways, I would have to say that the entire CD is flawless except for the song "Under Construction." I think it is kind of cheesy and seems to be just a filler to put the song count at 11. Track fav's are 1,6 and 11, but it was a difficult decision as all songs (except the forementioned) are excellent. If you are a Sister Hazel fan, or just a good melodic, deep lyric fan, pick this one up.

From track 1 to 11 all the songs are great. You got your nice love ballads like "Right one for Me" and "I'm Fine" to the more Sister Hazel sounding type songs like "My South" to other rock songs like "Once Again" and "It wont Matter", this is a great mix of songs and really showcases Drew Copeland's writing and singing tallents and that he can venture off and still have great success without the band, i love Sister Hazel you guys rock.....DREWWWWWWW

great songwriting. musicians who can really play. easy music to listen to over and over.

This albumn was loaned to me by a co-worker. I popped it in and found myself enjoying the music. I ordered it from Amazon and haven't taken it from my player yet.

The music is really good. Its easy to listen to, upbeat, fun and yet rather soothing. After hearing this albumn I have to believe that drew wrote most of the early Sister Hazel stuff. (I haven't enjoyed the later albumns). His solo albumn sounds alot like the orginal Sister albumn

The lyrics are great for anyone who grew up in a small town or small city as they will take you back to days gone by. This is part of the reason I really like the albumn. I grew up in a small town in Ohio, but currently reside in Gainesville, Fla. This albumn really ties my two home towns together.

Do yourself a favor and buy the albumn. Or at least borrow it from someone and listen to it. You will end up buying it!!!!

Hey, Drew Copeland's "No Regrets" is AWESOME...I love this CD...and can't quit playing it...one of the best I own, and I own a lot!!! If you download or buy it, you won't regret it...every song is terrific, but my fav is "Over You," the 6th cut. It really melts one's heart, INDEED!!!

I absolutely love this CD. Drew and I grew up in the same town and this CD really brings back memories. Although you certainly don't have to have lived in Gainesville to appreciate the CD, most of what Drew writes about can be related to by just about anyone who has grown up or spent time in the south.

Although a I'm a huge Sister Hazel fan I've found their past few albums a little lacking. Drew's album has the same local band heart and soul that was present in Sister Hazel's earlier releases. If you enjoy Sister Hazel, especially their fist two albums, then you'll enjoy this as well.

(Note for the reviewer below me, track 2 is "A Little Like Heaven" and is in fact the "Where I Come From" song you're thinking of. It's my favorite!)

This cd gets the amount of play in my house The Beatles do, what a piece of work! Great writing and performance from a talented musician, compliments on the effort when there is so little listenable music being produced. Extremely well produced and executed, a value.

This was a freebie on Amazon...one of the best surprises I've had lately when it comes to freebies. He's a good singer and the album is a good one.

this cd is awesome, with a lot of standout tracks, i'm fine, under construction, savanah, my south, over you, justified, all te tracks are GREAT.
