I have been a long time Clay Walker fan, but I admit this is the first of his albums that I've bought. Wow, was I amazed! I expected some good tunes, of course--with Walker, why would you expect anything less--but I was unprepared for the emotional barrage that hit me. This CD is cram-packed of moving ballads and rocking hits, contemplating everything from falling in love--"I Love It"--to being in love--"Real", "You Deliver Me"--to falling out of love--"Say No More", "Could I Ask You Not To Dance." I won't go into much detail, though: Most of the songs on this album are beyond words. Ballads that'll move you to tears with their lyrics and Walker's heart-felt voice--"Say No More", "Real", "Could I Ask You Not To Dance", "You Deliver Me", "So Much More". Traditional songs that fit snugly in the mix--"If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again", "She's Easy To Hold", "Rough Around the Edges." Then there's "Texas Swing", which, as you guessed it, is a country-swing combination. "I Love It" was made for radio. "La Bamba" is an oldie but goodie; you might not understand the lyrics--it's sung in Spanish--but you'll get lost in them just the same. If you're an old-time Clay Walker fan, this is the album for you. If you're knew to his following, feel free to sample the wonders that he can bring your ears!

Clay Walker is stepping up and taking his turn! Showing the world his God-given talent seems to be the message as he belts out these lyrics with a breathtaking voice, not to mention how he draws you into each song and it's meaning with such charismatic magnetism. I am really impressed with the wide selection of songs from your traditional slow, "wish I was lovin'" ballads, like "Say No More" and "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again" to his trademark groovy-rock beat with "I Love it" where he sings about his "favorite" - Texas Women! Clay also shows off his Latin tongue with his very impressive rendition of "La Bamba", and shows his Texas roots with the nitty-gritty "Texas Swing". There is something here for everyone and he is sure to get your attention when he gives it all he's got with the wonderful "You Deliver Me"! What a great song! Enjoy!

Again, Clay Walker has covered a wide range of emotion, style, and geography! A little unusual for him, he has several 'heartbreak' songs on this project. Could I Ask You Not to Dance yanks at your heartstrings, then he hits you with a great cover of La Bamba to pull you back up. The first few songs reflect the touch of new producer Byron Gallimore, but Walker's signature passion and energy really come out, from LaBamba on. Music for any mood, I'm glad to have this cd in my collection. I highly recommend it!

Clay Walker issues his sixth studio album and seventh overall with "Say No More" and it seems the material is more of a bittersweet nature than that found on his previous effort "Live, Laugh, Love." "She's Easy to Hold" is the most traditional sounding of the 11 cuts on this album. Walker's cover of "La Bamba" is excellent. The title track, "Say No More", is a bittersweet tale of a woman who wants to end a relationship but she doesn't want to hurt the man's feelings. He knows what she's been pondering so he tells her to "say no more" as he wants to make it easier on both her and himself. "Cound I Ask You Not to Dance" is sort of along the same lines as the aforementioned track. The man is heartbroken and seeing his ex having a good time is hard on him so he wants her to hold off her dancing activities until he's left. "I Love It" is about a man who is in love with a not so conservative woman. "Real" is the kind of ballad you would expect from Walker and it's probably my favorite song on the album along with the title track. "You Deliver Me" is another ballad that finds Walker putting all his heart and passion into the vocals. This is a great album and don't be discouraged by the fact that Byron Gallimore (helped produce the not-so-country Faith Hill album "Breathe") is one of the producers on this record discourage anybody from giving this album a listen because it's excellent.

"Say No More" is the reason anyone loves Clay Walker's music. He has "weak-in-the-knees" ballads, a few dance songs, and a fantastic cover of La Bamba. His albums keep getting better, amazing since he started with a great one! I recommend this CD to anyone who loves country and everyone who loves Clay.

"If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again" was on the radio and I knew I had to find that CD. Didn't realize Clay Walker sang it until I located it via Google Lyrics. The entire CD is good music.

I've been a Clay Walker fan from day one and I had been anticipating the release of his seventh album, Say No More. I was not disappointed with the final product. I have every one of his albums and he just keeps getting better. Every song on Say No More is excellent. His vocal range is spectacular. He has fun songs like La Bamba and soulful songs like You Deliver Me. This is one cd that is a must have.

Clay Walker's albums have always been uneven affairs: great singles usually surrounded by mediocre material. His latest effort Say You Will is more of the same. Walker fares best when he sticks to his roots, with a surprisingly stellar rendition of Ritchie Valens' La Bamba (he worked four years on perfecting his Spanish diction before recording this classic and the hard work paid off) as well as his own first-rate composition "Texas Swing" (where Walker proclaims "when you get down to it, Bob Wills Is Still The King") among the highlights.

Unfortunately, light-and-lively moments like those are in the minority. For this, his sixth studio release, Walker has hooked up with "producer of the moment" Byron Gallimore (whose artists include Tim McGraw, Jo Dee Messina, and Faith Hill). Given Gallimore's slick tendencies in the past, it's not surprising that the album is filled with over-blown, bland power-pop ballads like "Real" and "So Much More" (an exception: the urgent title track, which is saved by one of Walker's best vocal performances to date). It's a waste of talent, since as Clay Walker has proven in the past, less (production) is usually more.

This is by far Clay's best music !!! This cd has emotional ballads like "Say No More" and "Real" then heart melting love songs like "You Deliver Me" and "So Much More" then on top of that, you get fun songs like "La Bamba", "I Love It" and "Texas Swing"

This is the only cd that will wrestle Terri Clark's "Fearless" for playing time in my stereo!!!! THANKS CLAY For WONDERFUL new music !!
