5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Sophmore Album, December 16, 1999

After the successful "Killin' Time" album, Clint continues with another equally awesome album. Although this album has more songs that are less "radio friendly" than his debut album, they are actually better songs over all. Songs like "Muddy Water", "The Old Man", "The Gulf Of Mexico" and "The Good-Night Loving" are actually better than anything Clint has put out on radio in the last 5 years. You won't hear these songs on the radio but they are perfect country songs.

The album has produced two number one hits: "Where Are You Now" and "Loving Blind". The latter has some of the best fiddle (violin) arrangements ever put into a country album. The title cut, "Put Yourself In My Shoes" was a top ten favorite and is Clint's best known "Harmonica" song. This CD is played much more often than anything he has put out recently so if you want a good Clint Black CD, get this, "Killin' Time" or "The Hard Way". Or better yet, get all three.

5.0 out of 5 stars Put this one in the CD player, July 24, 2000

I've just ordered this CD after years of listening to the cassette. It is my favorite CD by Clint, the songs seem to flow from one right into the next. Be that as it may, I would buy this CD for the pure pleasure of listening to two of its tracks over and over, The Old Man, and The Goodnight-Loving Trail. When a song can again give me goosebumps after hearing it hundreds of times, it is for real. Wonderful CD to listen to while driving the back roads.

5.0 out of 5 stars My entry point into country music, February 19, 2004

This is the album that introduced me to country music. A buddy of mine in the Navy insisted I give it a try. The stories Clint Black tells are exceptional. The word play in "One More Payment" is instantly accessible. I thought for years that the "hit song" on the album was "A Heart Like Mine." That song defined country music for me for almost a decade. Since my initial exposure I've gone on to enjoy more a bluegrass flavor (a la Dwight Yoakum) but I still return to this stunning album several times a year. It has stood the test of time, and is a true classic. If you're looking for an entry point into country music, this would be the album for you. Enjoy the word play, story telling, and musical virtuosity on display when you "put yourself in my shoes."
