3.0 out of 5 stars
GOOD BUT NOT GREAT, March 16, 2009
It's true. I agree with Aaron for the most part. "My Give A Damn's Busted" and "Stoned On Her Love" are complete crap. By the sound of Aaron's review, it seems that he likes Joe Diffie. He is only saying that this album falls short of what we would come to expect from Joe Diffie. I know for myself that I am not taking myself to serious!!
These two songs are horrible; and it's an embarrassment to Joe Diffie that they were recorded.
"A Night To Remember", "16 Biggest Hits, and "Tougher Than Nails" are Joe Diffie's finest works. I will hold on to this album in question; but certainly will not come back to it often.
I will add that "This Pretender" is a good song. Maybe for this one and "In A Different World" I will hold on to the album. I purchased this album for just under $5.00 brand new. I'm glad that I didn't spend full price.

The Best Joe Diffie Album Yet, December 13, 2001
This album is by far the best stuff that Joe Diffie has ever done, even if you aren't a fan of his music you have to get this album just for two songs. "In another world" and "My give a dam's busted" very good quality stuff but look for a few more tracks on this album to be released on radio in the near future for your listening enjoyment. I bought this album when it first came out and I don't regret doing that, so go get it.

Not as bad as the boy Aaron would suggest, July 12, 2004
True, this isn't Diffie's best work to date, but taken as a stand alone piece, it is an entertaining and listenable album.
"In another World" has already become a classic, so no need to comment on this track.
"Busted" is hugely memorable and amusing. I read the review from Aaron and laughed when he slated it. Get a life and stop taking yourself so seriously!
"If I lost her" Beautiful, well produced and brings a lump to the throat.
"Stoned on her Love" is well produced, but it falls short on amusement value and Joe over-extends his voice at times. By the end of the song I was hoping that it would end soon.
"Hollow Deep as Mine" Next track please!
"This Pretender" If I didn't know better, I would have thought I was listening to a Don Cox track, but vocally, Joe doesn't pull it off. Sounds like an English sixties pop song that has had some fiddle and slide slapped on it.
"Like a River" I was hoping for an uptempo song at this point but got anothe Ballad. However, it's not a bad wee tune. The production is a bit overdone, in places, but if Garth had done this, it would have been a big hit. Nice one.
"Live to love another day" Nice gutsy guitar in places, Joe does the song proud and if he took the fiddle out, he would have a marketable rock product here.
"What a way to Go" Joe, why? This is simply substandard.
"The Granpa that I know" Great fiddle start, George Straitish song and Joe carries it off really well. If you can wipe the silly grin off your face and take the song seriously, it could just about bring tears to your eye.
So there you have it - a classic, a would-be classic, a smiler, two stinkers and the rest good background music. The first three tracks bring this up to a 3 star album and are worth the money on their own - with the rest of the album a bonus.
