5.0 out of 5 stars STAND is 1 of KC's best, May 4, 2002

By	J. M. Zuurbier (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Kenny Chesney's 1997 album I WILL STAND provides some of his best material, and overall one of his most consistent albums. The album opens with the summer sing-along song, the #1 hit "She's Got It All". The album has the perfect balance of uptempo country songs, and beautiful ballads. The song "That's Why I'm Here" is a touching ballad about an alcoholic, a definite highlight on the CD. Kenny also manages to do a cover of Tina Turner's "Steamy Windows" and does the song justice. He also joins Tracy Lawrence and George Jones on the honky tonk, "From Hillbilly Heaven To Honky Tonk Hell". Some touching ballads include "I Will Stand", "A Chance", and the acoustic version of past hit "When I Close My Eyes". Other highlights include "You Win, I Win, We Lose", "Lonely Needin Lovin" and "She Always Says It First", but there is no bad song on here, no filler whatsoever. Overall I WILL STAND is a consistent album and one of his best. Give it a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong Effort, February 20, 2002

By	J. M. Zuurbier (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

By the time this album came out, Kenny Chesney was beginning to make a name for himself in country music. His past hits included The Tin Man, Fall In Love, Me And You, When I Close My Eyes, Back Where I Come From and more. He started making an even bigger noise with this cd, I WILL STAND. The first single, and opening track, "She's Got It All" is an upbeat country song, which was a huge hit due to its catchy lyrics and just being a great song overall. The album features some compelling love songs/ballads, such as "You Win, I Win, We Lose", "I Will Stand", "A Chance" and more. Also, a big song is the song "That's Why I'm Here" about a man with a drinking problem. Other well talked about songs include the cover of the Tina Turner song "Steamy Windows" (which he sure does justice to), the collaboration with Tracy Lawrence and George Jones on "From Hillbilly Heaven To Honky Tonk Hell", and the acoustic version of his hit single "When I Close My Eyes". This is overall a really satisfying album, and its clear that with this album and his ones that come after it, Chesney will be around for a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars KC's best so far, May 15, 2000

By	retrowens (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is the only Kenny Chesney album I have and I still listen to it a lot. It has many great hits on it and most of the ones that weren't hits should've been hits in my opinion. "She's Got It All" is one of my favorite country songs of all. "When I Close My Eyes" and "A Chance" were also some of the best love songs of the year. The album also has a couple more hits in the title track and "That's Why I'm Here." Other songs such as "You Win, I Win, We Lose" are also good songs in their own right and like I said, they aren't bad either.

I Will Stand is Kenny Chesney's best album to date and if you get it, you probably won't be disappointed. If you get any of Kenny Chesney's albums, I would recommend getting this one. Kenny Chesney is one of the most underrated singers in country music today, but he is slowly creeping up their with the superstars and this album was the one that got most people to notice the talent that he has.
