Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
As a teenager, country hunk Mark Wills was more fond of Bon Jovi than George Jones and that influence shows on Wish You Were Here. That's not to dismiss his country credentials--those are intact. But the songs on this album are infused with a punchy pop sensibility. The instrumentation is sometimes bigger than life, something more akin to stadium rock than country twang. The piano on the title track absolutely soars, and the crisp guitars on the standout track "Emily Harper" provide edge to what might have been merely charming. But despite the sonic heights achieved here, Mark Wills' voice stays on top of the mix. On "Love Is Alive" he trades in his twang for a New Jersey growl, all the more remarkable since he grew up in Georgia. Wondered where he learned that? --Tod Nelson

5.0 out of 5 stars A very pleasant listening experience, October 13, 1999
By A new Mark Wills fan (Lincoln, Nebraska) - See all my reviews
Like many others I bought the cd for one song, "Don't laugh at me". I had no idea who Mark Wills even was. After one play thru I new I had picked a winner and it has become one of my favorite cds. Every song on it is great, I'll 'gamble' on another of his cds anytime.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Don't Laugh At Me" - an inspiration!, March 24, 2001
The first time my husband heard "Don't Laugh At Me" he was driving down the road. Tears just started pouring down his cheecks. He thought about all the times that people had talked about Megan, his autistic daughter, and laughed at her and called her names. The times she has cried herself to sleep because people were cruel to her because they wouldn't try to understand her or just couldn't understand her. Do you know how it feels to cry yourself to sleep because of other people's tourments? Or are you one of those who get pleasure from other people's pain? This entire cd has wonderful songs with a special message to them. When we need an inspiration to trudge on in our efforts to help Exceptional Parents of Exceptional Children, we listen to "Don't Laugh At Me"!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Laugh at Me, May 15, 2001
By Darla (Tallahasse, FL USA) - See all my reviews
I recently attended a youth seminar with around 120 high school sophomores from North Florida. There was a girl there named Jessica. She is deaf. As her talent she signed to the song "Don't laugh at me" The whole room was in tears. It is such an inspirational song. It applies to everyone. I really love it.
