My only disappointment was that the CD case was cracked. The seller did not have an extra one to provide me but they refunded me a $1 to get another case. Aside from that, the seller was very friendly and I would not mind doing business with them again.
As usual, Kenny is right on with this CD. I absolutely love "Don't Blink".it really emphasizes that life is so short and that we should live each and every day as though that day was our last. I love the other songs too, but this song is definitely my favorite. Perhaps I'll sing it beside him one day in the not-too-distant future.
I listen to this CD everyday. The songs are great and Kenny Chesney has never sounded better.
SAVE A HORSE, RIDE ME. Dancin for groceries makes me cry, he knows middle america better than anyone else. I get so hot when he sings about the real working man "In a blue-collar shirt and a baseball cap union madeHe's hot, sweat drops". Cant wat till he comes back to town.
The first track "Never Wanted Nothing More" is about having fun and that little moments, relationships with family and friends, finding the Lord, and being happy with what you have are the things that are important. "Just Not Today" recognizes that he needs to grow up and face responsibilities someday, but for now, he wants to enjoy the fun activities of youth. Many of the tracks deal with real life issues, and some are just down right fun. Like his previous recordings, this album is starting to churn out great hits, as well as containing a bunch of great songs overall. Here is yet another silver platter of wonderful songs by Kenny Chesney. "Demons" mentions harmful items that one can be attracted to and they may follow you around, such as bad relationships or adictive substances.This recording adds to the growing portfolio of Kenny Chesney's music, and can be appreciated for its versatility. Either one of these would make a great single for the airwaves. A fun song is "Wild Ride", a high-energy duet with Joe Walsh, laced with guitar work and synthesized falsetto voice.
"Dancing For The Groceries" is a story about a working-class single mother who dances to earn money to support her kids and pay the bills. A soft ballad, "Better As A Memory" illustrates that he prefers to keep moving on rather than staying in one place. To date, he has released more than a dozen great albums since his debut in the mid-1990s. This track would also make a great single.Family life serves as the theme in two of the songs here: "Wife and Kids" is very straightforeward about the desire to have a family. "Don't Blink" is a story of an old man recounting important events in his life and noting how quickly time passes. The duet "Shiftwork", is an island style song about going to work out of necessity and not really enjoying it, yet the money the employee earns allows him to go on vacation.Another island song is the reggae piece "Got A Little Crazy" in which the character got wild drinking a lot, and waking up with a girl, and having fun last night. The final two songs on the album are softer and slower: "Scare Me" tells how change can be frightening, yet once your life is changed by meeting someone, you don't want things to return to the way they were. Every KC fan should go out and obtain this album, while newcomers may find this to be a nice introduction to this talented artist.
