"After reading Alanna Nash's and then receiving my cd today and listening to it, she should be fired! She is so way off-base on her review! This is one of the most pleasant cd's in current music and one of Billy Ray's best, if not his best! His voice wraps around each and every note of every song.....there is something for everyone....upbeat, ballads, etc.....and his rich tone is perfect through it all! He deserves to be #1 again! I didn't write this review to give details on each track....I did it mainly to refute Ms. Nash's crappy review.....THIS CD DESERVES AN A+!!!!!!"

"I know that many people do not think country music, with a capital C, is cool, but no one has told Billy Ray Cyrus. This cd is 90% country with a 10% dash of rock/pop. Billy has something to say about Country Music and Country in general, and I am glad does. I have always thought it was interesting that the Mullet has been so mocked, over the years, but you can wear a ballcap askance or a clock around your neck and it is cool! :)
The band cooks and the lyrics are worth paying attention too.
What more do we need? Maybe the return of the mullet!"
Should be number 1!!

"If you love country than you will love this album. The songs are very refreshing with a taste of pop/rock while retaining original country sound at the same time. Any true country fan would agree that this album is a winner."
Thank goodness I did not listen to the editorial review!!!

"I read the review and since I've always loved everything Billy Ray has ever done EXCEPT Acky Breaky, I didn't take it seriously. I love this album! I hate it when all of an album is either upbeat or ballads and this one has it all. I don't know why people try to put him down all the time. He is a great songwriter, good actor and getting better all the time, and a great singer. We wont even get into the fact that he's gorgeous and getting better with age. Favorite song so far is the title cut, Wanna Be Your Joe but I also like the rockin Mullet song. Give him and this album a true chance and you're gonna love it too."
