Aaron Tippin's music has always been simple--sung for the people, about the people, BY the people...er, rather, a person. He's one of us--and he makes that clear on this album, one of his best yet.

The first song and title track expresses our patriotic views; "I'll Take Love Over Money" is quirky and funny, even though it is mostly spoken. "I Believed" is about growing up and moving out--and still believing in hope and love. "Honky Tonk..." follows similar themes as Tippin's own "What This Country Needs"--basically, if you are country, BE country! "If Her Lovin' Don't Kill Me" and "We Can't Get Any Higher Than This" express relationships at their peak; "Love Like There's No Tomorrow," a duet with his wife, is moving and beautiful. "At The End of The Day" and "Five Gallon Tear" both have messages wrapped up inside their lyrics and harmonies. "This Old Couch" explains a man's dog-house, while "Love Me Back" is a country-rocker about a man's plea to the one he loves...the title explains it all.

"Stars and Stripes", though not a patriotic CD, is aptly titled. The songs contained here-in are about the American people...which is what country music is all about, isn't it? Going by this, you could say that Aaron Tippin is everything country music should be...good songwriting, could songs, and a great voice. Yes, if it's country, it's Aaron Tippin! Don't miss out on this album; you won't know what you're missing.

I had never heard of Aaron Tippin before hearing his single Stars and Stripes. Having bought the CD I am a new fan. The bold, deep quality of his voice and lyrics that you can actually understand distinguish A.T.'s music from that of so many others. Thank you A.T., for bringing back music that sends shivers through your skin.

AARON TIPPIN IS SO TALENTED AND LOVE ALL OF HIS SONGS FROM ALL OF HIS CDS. I TRULY LOVE AND ENJOY LISTENING TO HIS SONGS AND HIS SHOWS ARE THE BEST!! AARON'S NEW CD "IN OVERDRIVE", A TRUCKERS CD IS WONDERFUL. AARON TIPPIN IS THE BEST AND I'M LOVIN' ALL OF HIS SONGS!!
