"A great debut album for the Why Store to a national audience. Unfortunately, MCA wanted to the change the essence of the band and then abandoned one of the best bands of the '90's when they refused. High energy music unique in style borrowing from traditional rock and roll, the band's lead singer Chris Shaffer, who authored almost all of the band's music, has an incredible voice and is supported by Michael David Smith's mastery on lead guitar. The album contains most of the best performed by the band live (with the exception of "When You're High," which was re-released on the second MCA album, Two Beasts). Why Store albums have become collectors' items - get a copy while you still can, sit back and enjoy some of the best music ever printed onto a CD. If around the Midwest, can catch Chris Shaffer and his current band still performing some of the Why Store songs as well as his new music that he continues to create.

It's a shame they are not together

"I have listened to these guys when I was in college at Ball State University. I think Chris Shaffer brings back the southern rock like the better days of rock. I was glad to see the Why Store reunion back in June 2002 at the Vogue in Indianapolis. This is a must buy CD. Take care!"
The Why Store is a very good CD

"I bought this CD on a whim five years ago and still listen to it regularly. I can't say that about many of the other CDs in my collection."
"Father"please, I am "Lack of Water."

"The first of many big time deals. But the boys from Indiana will keep it home grown. If you like CCR and The southern rock sound you will love all the Why Store's CD'S"
