I don't know how he does it. Each CD is so great and filled with awesome songs, and This Time Around is no different. From the catchy guitar tune Leavin(featuring Keith Urban) to the heartful tearjerking ballads(like Home) to the blusy humorous I'd Be the King. This album is always in my stereo. This is one of those albums you could never get sick of. Once again Paul's managed to create a great album. Way to go!

Paul Brandt's CD's just keep getting better and better. He is an excellent singer who writes excellent material. There are definite standouts on this album, there's "leaving", "run to me" (excellent slow song), "I still do" (another excellent slow song). If you like country music then this is definitely an excellent album to pick up. As the title of this review states, Paul won't slip under the radar much longer as this cd will surely make his name more mainstream not only in canada, but in the US aswell.

Awesome new disc by one of Canada's best country performers, This Time Around really hits the high notes! From the lead remake, and superb version of "Convoy," to the last song "That's What I Love About Jesus," this is a tight, well put together disc.

"Convoy" really brings back the spirit of the original but with modern production, one can really make out what the CB parts were. Paul pulls off a superb version that ranks right alongside the original by C. W. McCall. "Leavin'" is just a good ole' plain hit! I can't get enough of listening to it and having Keith Urban guest on guitars (though I couldn't find it credited in the album notes) just adds to the tune. As an Albertan who moved away and came back, I really get "Alberta Bound;" this truly is God's country. From the ballad "Run to Me" to the bluesy, and comedic, "The King" and the standard "Rich Man," one just can't go wrong with this disc.

Way to go Paul! This definitely ranks as one of your best.

I am so excited for the release of Paul Brandt's latest studio album, This Time Around. Keith Urban's guitar work on the album has been oustanding and Paul's unique voice shines through the entire album from start to finish. Convoy was a great chice for Pual to do as it shows a new dimension to his voice style. I reccommend anyone and everyone to buy Paul's new album on June 29. This is a must have album!!!

If you're unfamiliar with Paul Brandt, he charted several songs in the U.S. during the mid/late-90s. Released in 2004, "This Time Around" shows that Brandt not only still has his touch, but he's improved since returning home to Canada. The album features several songs with inspirational messages, similar to some of the efforts Garth Brooks included on many of his albums. The highlight tracks include a solid cover of "Convoy," "Leavin'" (a recent cover was released as a single by Blaine Larsen), and "Rich Man." My favorite song from the album is "Alberta Bound." Although I've never ventured to Canada, the imagery and conviction conveyed in this song makes it sound like a worthy destination.

If you're a Paul Brandt fan, you'll certainly love this album. If you remember Paul Brandt but haven't heard from him in awhile, this album will remind you what you've missed. If you haven't heard of Paul Brandt, this album's a great way to get acquainted.

From an artist who we thought we'd gotten everything from came "This Time Around" after we were sure we'd never see him again. This album did amazingly well in Canada, and Paul Brandt continues to win awards and perform to sold-out crowds in Canada. Personal favorite tracks are: "Leavin," "Alberta Bound," "Run to Me," "Live Now," and "This Time Around." I can't get enough!

I specifically bought this CD for the song "I STILL DO" but it is really a great CD and I'm not sorry I ordered it.

Paul Brandt is one of the great singer/song writer's that country music has to offer. This CD was a huge hit in Canada, where the artist is based. Songs like "Alberta Bound," "Run To Me," and "This Time Around" are what make the CD great. A great CD for anyone who remembers Paul's earlier US releases. He has only gotten better with age, and to think he thought about giving it all up!
