5.0 out of 5 stars Bo Bice is back, y'all!, October 23, 2007

It's hard for me to review this album without thinking back over the nearly three years since I first heard Bo sing "Whippin' Post" on `American Idol.' He got my attention, and while he hasn't ever really lost it, that moment is still one of my favorites from his run on the show. It's the kind of music Bo was meant to sing, and finally, on `See the Light,' he's singing it!

From the rocking opening ("Witness") to an Allman-tinged finale ("Whiskey, Women, and Time"), Bo runs through a neat collection of country flavored rock tunes that are not just satisfying musically, but also lyrically.

We hear a bit of Bo's angst in "Only Words," and his celebration of all things country on "Take the Country Outta Me." He rocks out on "This Train" and "Ain't Gonna Die." Particularly strong - "I'm Gone," "Sinner in a Sin," and "See the Light," but really, there's no one weak track on the album.

Bo is back and doing it his way, and the end result is outstanding. Great album. If you loved Bo on Idol, you'll love `See the Light.'

This is the album all those who loved Bo on American Idol have been waiting for!!! It rocks. Each song is the kind that got us dialing in all night to vote for him on American Idol. It is the real Bo. His personality, his kind of music and best of all his VOICE! You can actually hear his gritty, emotion-packed voice coming through loud and clear. The lyrics are powerful too, a few favorites and some great newer ones, including those Bo wrote with Thomas Lee. Just a superb album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Today's Southern Rock, October 23, 2007

If you loved Bo Bice on American Idol, you will enjoy this CD. Bo's vocals alternate between soaring, sensitive, gritty, and growling. The music is pure Southern Rock, with some of the legends of the genre sitting in with Bo for a rocking beat that hearkens Skynyrd and the Allmans, but all colored up with Bo. Clever songwriting - all tracks penned by Bice, some with talented collaborators like Chris Tompkins and Thomas Lee - invites repeat listening. My favorites include "I Ain't Gonna Die," a defiant rebel yell to all who have counted him out, "Whiskey, Women & Time," which I can hear as a barn-burning concert finale, "I'm Gone," which is instantly catchy, and "This Train," which has a comforting, familiar beat. All in all, this CD is a keeper, for all fans of Bo, old and new.
