Travis Tritt's new STRONG ENOUGH cd scores another winning play for this seasoned songwriter/performer. The music is a blend of all that Travis does:country, blues, rock, you name it, Travis can play and sing it! The first single released is the title song and it's certainly "strong enough" to be a surefire hit. All the song's are heartfelt, and shades of other performers like Waylon, and Marty are mixed throughout the collection. I like all the songs, but my personal favorite, and the one I keep playing over and over, is "I don't ever want her to feel that way again". Written by Travis and Dean Dillon, it's the kind of song everyone can relate to. We've all said things we wish we could take back. This cut really highlights Travis' smooth and distinctive vocal abilities. It's simply stated, humbly sung, and sends a shiver down my spine each time I listen.

This cd is one of Travis' best. His vocals are exceptional and very mature with many songs praising women. As a 13 year fan of Travis Tritt, I have noticed his songs gain much more meaning as he experiences life in different ways. His first song on this cd is called You Can't Count Me Out Yet, I think it's more about his comeback to the music industry with a good upbeat sound. Then next song is Can't Tell Me Nothin', in which I believe is something that every person out there can identify with as being young and naive and knowing it all. The third song is Strong Enough To Be Your Man, a reply to the early 90's song by Sheryl Crowe. It's saying exactly what the title says! The fourth song would be my favorite, Country Ain't Country. It's saying what we all know is true, money has overcome everyone's lives as the race to make more has made people be dishonest, immoral, and in a hurry to get to the next day without stopping to breathe. Now to make the rest of it short and sweet, the other 8 songs are talking about mature true love of a spouse, old forgotten healing songs for the heart, telling irresponsible men to straighten up before they lose the love of their life, staying true to yourself, time to let your hair down and have a little fun, this cd has it all from Travis.

For the people that may not buy this cd over what a previous reviewer said about Travis against the Dixie Chicks, it is simply not true. What Travis did do is actually defend the right for an American Citizen to express their opinion. Travis has helped our Veterans for many years with numerous concerts etc.. And what I personally heard him say in the interviews were actually a way the Dixie Chicks could make amends ( in which case he was asked how they could) with the people that they did upset (for exp. U.S. Soldiers) and that was to give free concerts for our soldiers, etc.. At any given point there was not one thing that Travis said against the Dixie Chicks, and like the general American public, he believes that every American person has the right to their opinion. So for all of you that aren't familiar with Travis Tritt's music, I fully recommend this cd, along with his other cd's, for a delightful display of country music at it's best!

Travis is one of the most under rated guys in this business, he just keeps turning out great stuff and he never gets the recognition that he deserves. I like the change and the feel of this CD, it's quite different from some of his usual stuff but that shows his true talents.From strong enough to be your man which is a great love song to Country Ain't Country which is so fitting in the days we now live in. I'm sorry but some of the music that they are playing today isn't country to me, but i'm thankful for travis he has stayed country, he likes to rock somtimes and does well at that to,but he does'nt play the political game, maybe thats why he does'nt get the recognition that he deserves!!!!!!!!!!!, but thats okay as long as the fans like and continue to buy his CD'S and go to see his concerts thats all that natters.

I'd just like to put my two cents in and say that I thought this was a pretty good album. Reggie Young, who played with Waylon Jennings in the 1970s and 1980s, plays some great guitar on this CD, and if some of the lyrics are a little weak (I have to agree with the other reviewer who found "God Must Be A Woman" to be a bit theologically off-putting), the music more than makes up for it.

I'm not sure that I'd go so far as to call it one of the greatest albums of all time, but I like it. If you like good, solid country music with a little bit of rock mixed it, you may like it, too.

After Down the road I go I didn't think Travis could make a better CD, but this is it. Every song onthis cd is great. He has a song for everyone. Travis is like a good wine he keeps getting better with age. It don't get much better than this.

It's finally here! I got it the day it came out, and I feel it's a must buy. Tritt puts his heart and soul in every album, and this one is no different. In my mind it's an instant classic.

This collection is so musically entertaining from start to finish!! Travis Tritt's rich, intense, soulful vocals soar on these powerful, exciting songs so tasty that they are gems. There is a lot of variety of forms of country music found in this immaculate set, from fast up-tempo tunes and medium timbre pieces to luscious ballads. This is the BEST Tritt collection to date!! I highly recommend it!! A lot of male musical talent is heard on this CD!!

I think this is Travis best album yet. The track You Can't Count me Out Yet is great and lets Nashville and all the other people that thought he was done and over know that he is stronger than ever. Travis really explores his versatility in this album with the tracks I Don't Ever Want Her to Feel That Way Again and God Must Be a Woman. You can hear the Waylon influence in several of the tracks-You Really Wouldn't Want Me That Way and I Can't Seem to Get Over You. I think this is a wonderful album overall and if you like rockin country, ballads and just plain good county you will enjoy this album.

I had been anxiously waiting for the release of Travis' CD. I've always loved his music and this latest release did not disappoint! From the first song to the last it's a FANTASTIC CD! Travis is a wonderful song writer as well as performer and anyone who has never heard his music should definitely give it a listen!

I expected another rock-abilly Travis Tritt CD - which I love, but instead this CD has more ballads. Never the less, I think it is his best yet. What a talented writer and singer. You will not be disappointed.
