On his self-titled 1996 debut album, Mark Wills showed himself to be a talented utility player on the modern country field, as familiar with edgy Southern country-rock as mainstream radio fare. However, none of the raggedy stuff passed muster like the smoother, sentimental sounds of Wish You Were Here, his second outing, and with three No. 1 hits--"I Do (Cherish You)," "Wish You Were Here," "Don't Laugh at Me"--the die was cast. Wills's third release finds the Georgian pigeonholed as the ultimate heart-on-his-sleeve romantic, changed by love and fatherhood, and fretting about the world's forgotten children. All that is well and good, and Wills, with his earnest, aching tenor, knows how to sell a song, mostly to neglected, housebound wives. What's missing is the other three-quarters of his personality--and a rhythm number guaranteed to wear the leather off your shoes. --Alanna Nash

5.0 out of 5 stars it left a permanent impression, January 26, 2000

By	S. Foster (Moira, Co Armagh United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

i actually discovered this cd only a few days ago, in paris of all places. although not a massive country fan as a rule (my parents saturated me in it as a child and since then i have rebelled :)) listening to this cd at a listening post i was truly gobsmacked by the delivery of the album and the depth and emotion of the lyrics. let's just say that as a consequence of this mighty cd (and from a singer i had never even heard of b4) i have started to investigate not only this great artist's music more closely but also have bought a few other country cds since. hopefully this cd will be a great and well-deserved success, and once i retun home to ireland i shall be doing my most to make sure my friends know who he is:)))))

5.0 out of 5 stars Mark Wills does it again!, September 14, 2000

By	DanD - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Never mind that two of the songs on the CD aren't his--he does them well. In fact, BACK AT ONE is the reason I bought the CD. But I discovered some other great songs hidden in there--EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT YOU, RIGHT HERE, THE PERFECT CONVERSATION, and the perfect fatherhood song, IN MY ARMS. I really can't believe that anyone would put a bad review on this page--can't they see that Mr. Wills is one of the most talented singers in this generation? He's all country, with maybe a slight pop side. But who cares? This is a great album, and if you buy it, it'll be in your collection PERMANENTLY.
