"Chris Cagle had been knocking around Nashville as a songwriter for awhile before making the leap to performer. I am glad he leapt! His writing abilities are second to none and his delivery is phenomenal, wrap that up in a HOT package and you have Chris Cagle (I wouldn't mind "playing loud" with him if you know what I mean!). After hearing "My Love Goes on and on" on the radio, I picked up this CD and was struck by its versatility. When I sing along with "My Love Goes on and on", I always find myself adding a couple of extra "and on"s, it is such a catchy tune I end up singing it every time. Then there is the country-boy anthem "Country by the Grace of God", the upbeat title track and the straight-up rockin' (and, therefore, appropriately titled) "Rock the Boat". There is really not a ballad per se, but "Laredo" (my personal fave track) is dripping with raw emotion and definite #1 material. Other stand-out songs include "Who Needs the Whiskey" and "Love Between a Woman and a Man". I highly recommend this CD and, if you get a chance, seeing Chris perform live, he does not disappoint!"

Great CD!

"I bought this cd a few days before seeing him live at Billy Bob's Texas and loved it from the first play. He's even better in person. I'm most impressed that he writes his own music. He has the energy and emotion of a Tim McGraw of early days. Definitely buy this cd, but don't miss a chance to see him live!"
