Country to the core

"It's perhaps unfair not to award the CD a full five stars as the vocal performances by Ricky Van Shelton are of the highest quality. Stand-out tracks include Borrowed Angel, The Best Is Yet To Come (a new song, not the Sinatra/Bennett standard) and the title track, Making Plans. There isn't a trace of watered-down pop country and Ricky's vocals are expressive and heart-felt. My only criticism is that the album is ballad-heavy and would have been stronger with the addition of two further up-beat songs at the expense of It Wouldn't Kill Me and He's Not The Man I Used To Be. I'd recommend this to any fans of real country music."
Great new stuff from RVS - go buy it!!

"I have about everything Ricky has put out and his voice just keeps getting better. I've seen him in concert several times and his voice is as good in person as on his albums. The songs on this album are great - glad to see him recording again!!!"
