5.0 out of 5 stars
One heck of an album!, April 6, 2003
Sammy Kershaw has proven himself a singer of the working class. Well, folks, he's here again, doin' the thing he's best at--singing to YOU!Check out the redneck tunes. "Beer, Bait, and Ammo" is as redneck as you can get; "28/83" is somewhat redneck-ish (those're AGES, in case you're wondering...); and "I Want My Money Back," the quirky title track and first single, is about the redneck in us all. But there's more here than rednecks and fishin'. A brilliant cover of Anthony Smith's "Metropolis" brings to life a small-town man's desire for the big city...and home. "Stitches," another Smith song, praises mothers all over the world; while "The Paper Heart" is a tribute to daughters and their fathers. "Miss What's Her Name" provides a little humor--it ain't the only track--while "Gone For Good Goodbye" is pretty much the saddest song I've heard yet this year. "Are You Having Fun Yet" is for the limo drivers, the stage crew, the fans, and pretty much everybody else that makes a singer's career what it is. "Sunday Morning On Bourbon Street" gives the blues a whole new meaning. And the care-free "I've Never Been Anywhere" makes your heart all warm and fuzy. Sammy Kershaw's pretty much the master of whatever he sings; this is a given, if you listen to country radio (and you do, or you wouldn't be here!). You've already heard some of the man's older stuff; why not check out his most recent CD? I can promise you that you won't want your money back after this baby!
