The first couple cuts on East Texan Clay Walker's seventh album are merely the sort of breathy, overwrought generic power-pop country ballads that too often clog up the country charts like bad cholesterol these days. Fortunately, things quickly brighten as Walker veers masterfully back to his honky-tonk roots. His rich, earnestly stoic baritone lends itself particularly well to earthy, Friday-night-at-the-dancehall numbers like "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again" and the sorrowful "Could I Ask You Not to Dance." Along the way, Baker also serves up some sprightly Texas swing on the aptly named "Texas Swing," which he cowrote, and a delightfully fiery and dead-on rendition of the 1959 Ritchie Valens standard "La Bamba." --Bob Allen

5.0 out of 5 stars Clay Walker IS country!, May 26, 2001

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

I have been a long time Clay Walker fan, but I admit this is the first of his albums that I've bought. Wow, was I amazed! I expected some good tunes, of course--with Walker, why would you expect anything less--but I was unprepared for the emotional barrage that hit me. This CD is cram-packed of moving ballads and rocking hits, contemplating everything from falling in love--"I Love It"--to being in love--"Real", "You Deliver Me"--to falling out of love--"Say No More", "Could I Ask You Not To Dance." I won't go into much detail, though: Most of the songs on this album are beyond words. Ballads that'll move you to tears with their lyrics and Walker's heart-felt voice--"Say No More", "Real", "Could I Ask You Not To Dance", "You Deliver Me", "So Much More". Traditional songs that fit snugly in the mix--"If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again", "She's Easy To Hold", "Rough Around the Edges." Then there's "Texas Swing", which, as you guessed it, is a country-swing combination. "I Love It" was made for radio. "La Bamba" is an oldie but goodie; you might not understand the lyrics--it's sung in Spanish--but you'll get lost in them just the same. If you're an old-time Clay Walker fan, this is the album for you. If you're knew to his following, feel free to sample the wonders that he can bring your ears!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Showcase of Talent!, March 27, 2001

By	DeAnna (Dallas, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

Clay Walker is stepping up and taking his turn! Showing the world his God-given talent seems to be the message as he belts out these lyrics with a breathtaking voice, not to mention how he draws you into each song and it's meaning with such charismatic magnetism. I am really impressed with the wide selection of songs from your traditional slow, "wish I was lovin'" ballads, like "Say No More" and "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again" to his trademark groovy-rock beat with "I Love it" where he sings about his "favorite" - Texas Women! Clay also shows off his Latin tongue with his very impressive rendition of "La Bamba", and shows his Texas roots with the nitty-gritty "Texas Swing". There is something here for everyone and he is sure to get your attention when he gives it all he's got with the wonderful "You Deliver Me"! What a great song! Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome -- I can "Say No More"...., March 28, 2001

By A Customer

Again, Clay Walker has covered a wide range of emotion, style, and geography! A little unusual for him, he has several 'heartbreak' songs on this project. Could I Ask You Not to Dance yanks at your heartstrings, then he hits you with a great cover of La Bamba to pull you back up. The first few songs reflect the touch of new producer Byron Gallimore, but Walker's signature passion and energy really come out, from LaBamba on. Music for any mood, I'm glad to have this cd in my collection. I highly recommend it!
