 Welcome back, Tracy!!!!!!!!! Nov 23, 2003
By Dee Haskins
This CD is wonderful. Thank you Tracy for recording again after too long of an absence on the charts. "Drinkin' Bone" and the "Truth about Men" are good ol' honky tonk songs. Country music has wandered away from its roots. Some of the artists seem to be changing to songs that are not in the title of "country" - REAL honest to goodness country music. That is just sad in my opinion. This new CD by Tracy has well been worth the wait! I give it 5 stars! Dee Haskins

Great with few exceptions..... Sep 09, 2003
By Carl Childers

Though there are some "weak" songs on this album (How'd I Wind Up in Jamaica being the worst), Tracy Byrd delivers some top notch material on his latest. Tony Martin, possibly Nashville's best song writer, continues to be a gold mine for the Byrd. The song, "Somewhere I Wanna Go", co-written by Martin, is the best ballad Tracy has ever recorded. The concrete lyrics with such a powerful tune make this song worth the 15 dollars alone. If released as a single, the song will not need a video. You can visualize the entire song in your mind. You will find yourself listening to this one over & over.Tracy sings, "She just took a deep drag off that Marlboro Light, and said shut the door behind you when you go", on a song titled "When You Go." The song is about a man and what is going through his mind as he is getting ready to "say goodbye for good" to his wife. If you are a fan of true country, you'll love this one. Overall, the album is great. The Nashville big wigs always have to throw in their 2 cents and make artists record "junk" they normally wouldn't. However, Tracy's "junk" is a heck of a lot better than most of the country songs that are topping the charts.

Romantic and Alive! Dec 25, 2003
By Alicia
For Country Music fans, especially fans of Tracy Byrd, this is a MUST have CD! Tracy Byrd has given off great music in the past years but his CD's just keep getting better and better! This CD is filled with EVERYTHING. Fun and goofy...to heart-touching tear jerkers...and smooth and crisp romantic country songs. A few songs will catch you off guard with the first sentence, and make you think WHAT?! But the song gets better. For example, his song "You Feel Good"...starts off with "I like sleeping in the nude when it's hot and the moon is cool". The song is definately a Husband and Wife song...Another romantic...yet upbeat song is "Baby put your clothes on". It's a nice dancing song! And one of my favaorites is "Making memories of us". The lyrics just steal your attention..."I want to sleep with you forever I want to die in your arms in a Cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm..." Tracy Byrd truly has an amazing voice for all these songs! They send chills throughout your body! In addition to these, there are wonderful down-to-earth songs like "Tiny Town". And all songs are truthful...especially "The Truth About Men!" The first time I heard this song I thought it was AWFUL because of what it said, now I find it hilarious! I just hope whoever I end up marrying is different than the MAJORITY of men! Haha! WONDERFUL CD GO BUY IT!

 too much truth but still decent Jul 28, 2003
By pat milton
first off if i could i would have given this 3.5 stars... i liked it mostly for the up tempo songs i mean the truth sbout med is great then rounds of jose quervo will get you dancing and howd i wind up in jamica is done well. The problem is with this album was the ballads for some reason they just sounded all alike and rather hollow to me had too much of a down home senttimental quality to them the best was tiny town. i would recomend it but if your looking for Tracy Byrd power ballads this is not the album

We ain't wrong, we ain't sorry... May 18, 2004
By Barbara Streisands Love Slave
I never listened to Country music at all until I got kicked out of my house and I had to live with some hillbillys that listened to country all the time. Around then, it just grew on me. I learned and discovered all kinds of great artists such as Johnny Cash, Alabama, Alan Jackson, and Tracy Byrd. The first song I heard by him was "Drinking Bone". Not only is that a catchy tune but it is also a great drinking song (Duh). Another song I heard on the radio that caught my attention was the title-track. It really does tell the truth about men. If you want to check out some good modern country then pick this up.
