Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
For his seventh studio release, his first in three years, Tracy Lawrence turns in a surprisingly mature and substantial set of songs about respect, patience, forgiveness, and life's deceptively simple lessons. Lawrence cowrote three of the strongest tunes, including the title track and first single, a not-quite-so intense echo of George Jones's "Choices." Tip the hat, as well, to his production work, which is chiefly rooted in the sturdy sounds of pedal steel, fiddle, piano, and some raunchy Hank Jr. guitar licks. The only real missteps--the cloying seduction tale "Just You and Me" and the cartoonish, Metallica-meets-hot-country anthem "Up All Night"--are hardly fatal. The highpoints, including the understated but riveting singing on "Unforgiven" and the acoustic bounce of "Steps," show that Lawrence has learned his country lessons well. --Roy Kasten

5.0 out of 5 stars Country's Brightest and Multi-talented Singer, February 10, 2000

By	Toni Palmer (England) - See all my reviews

Undoubtly, this is Tracy Lawerence best artistic product. He shows maturity and talent in his songs - a man who realized who he was, who he is and hopefully, where he's going. "Lonely" is pure country energy strumming through the lyrics and in the melody. Haunting, best describes the way the song replays in your mind long after the song is over. "Lessons Learned" and "Up All Night" keep with the tradition of a great Tracy Lawrence "kiss of perfection". Definitely a CD any true country music fan would have in their collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars .... and time marches on ....., February 5, 2000

By	Jim Murray (Harrodsburg, KY USA) - See all my reviews

Tracy picks up where he left off with his last album without missing a lick. This guy's going to be the fellow my little angel, Hailey, remembers as the singer her daddy always played in the truck while they were riding to the store, to a ballgame, or anywhere else that provided a need to pop in a CD. The title cut is excellent, but is probably surpassed in pure country enjoyment by "Unforgiven", and I'd say that "Long Wet Kiss" will be the star of this show before the curtain falls. Definitely a nice addition to the Tracy Lawrence catalog.
