5.0 out of 5 stars Travis scores again, October 29, 2002

By	Sara (Maple Heights, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

Travis Tritt's new STRONG ENOUGH cd scores another winning play for this seasoned songwriter/performer. The music is a blend of all that Travis does:country, blues, rock, you name it, Travis can play and sing it! The first single released is the title song and it's certainly "strong enough" to be a surefire hit. All the song's are heartfelt, and shades of other performers like Waylon, and Marty are mixed throughout the collection. I like all the songs, but my personal favorite, and the one I keep playing over and over, is "I don't ever want her to feel that way again". Written by Travis and Dean Dillon, it's the kind of song everyone can relate to. We've all said things we wish we could take back. This cut really highlights Travis' smooth and distinctive vocal abilities. It's simply stated, humbly sung, and sends a shiver down my spine each time I listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars GROWING UP, July 22, 2003

By	MISTY K. MOORE (PEEBLES, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This cd is one of Travis' best. His vocals are exceptional and very mature with many songs praising women. As a 13 year fan of Travis Tritt, I have noticed his songs gain much more meaning as he experiences life in different ways. His first song on this cd is called You Can't Count Me Out Yet, I think it's more about his comeback to the music industry with a good upbeat sound. Then next song is Can't Tell Me Nothin', in which I believe is something that every person out there can identify with as being young and naive and knowing it all. The third song is Strong Enough To Be Your Man, a reply to the early 90's song by Sheryl Crowe. It's saying exactly what the title says! The fourth song would be my favorite, Country Ain't Country. It's saying what we all know is true, money has overcome everyone's lives as the race to make more has made people be dishonest, immoral, and in a hurry to get to the next day without stopping to breathe. Now to make the rest of it short and sweet, the other 8 songs are talking about mature true love of a spouse, old forgotten healing songs for the heart, telling irresponsible men to straighten up before they lose the love of their life, staying true to yourself, time to let your hair down and have a little fun, this cd has it all from Travis.

For the people that may not buy this cd over what a previous reviewer said about Travis against the Dixie Chicks, it is simply not true. What Travis did do is actually defend the right for an American Citizen to express their opinion. Travis has helped our Veterans for many years with numerous concerts etc.. And what I personally heard him say in the interviews were actually a way the Dixie Chicks could make amends ( in which case he was asked how they could) with the people that they did upset (for exp. U.S. Soldiers) and that was to give free concerts for our soldiers, etc.. At any given point there was not one thing that Travis said against the Dixie Chicks, and like the general American public, he believes that every American person has the right to their opinion. So for all of you that aren't familiar with Travis Tritt's music, I fully recommend this cd, along with his other cd's, for a delightful display of country music at it's best!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Very Disappointing, October 7, 2002

By	John Markoski "Just for fun" (South Hadley, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

No one is a bigger Travis Tritt fan than I am, so it pains me to say that I was very disappointed in this CD. Although "Strong Enough to Be Your Man" is a fair first single, and "Country Ain't Country No More" will probably end up being a better one, it was shocking to find that Travis couldn't come up with better songs for the remainder of the CD, considering he's had 2 years to do so. When I first listened to "Down the Road I Go", I couldn't wait to hear what each successive song had to offer, and each one was as good or better than the last... no songs were a disappointment. I had the complete opposite reaction to "Strong Enough". I kept hoping that maybe the next song would be "the one", but ultimately none of them were. Although Travis's voice sounds as soulful as ever, the weakness of the material is ultimately the downfall of the CD. There's just nothing here with the power of "Hard Times and Misery", "Modern Day Bonnie & Clyde", "T-R-O-U-B-L-E", "Where Corn Don't Grow", or even "Start the Car". There is nothing with the grittiness of "Put Some Drive In Your Country" or "The Whiskey Ain't Workin'". There are no well-crafted songs like "Ten Feet Tall and Bulletproof" or "It's a Great Day to Be Alive". Even the ballads lack the power and imagery of previous radio hits. After "Down the Road I Go", which I thought expressed the flowering of Travis's maturity as a musician, I expected much much more here, and "Strong Enough" just doesn't deliver.
