I've heard this song ten times, and I can't tell you a single word from it. That is not a good sign. I do like the laid-back vibe, though, it's a great fit for Billy's voice.
As for MBDSR, I've probably heard that five times since it fell from the charts.

I like this. I like's Tangled Up as well. That was my 2nd favorite song from him, behind Walk A Little Straighter. Actually I've not hated one of his singles, unless you count that duet he did with Shania.

I never really understood why it went to #1 anyway, i found it to be very mediocre. As far as this song goes, I guess I'm starting to come around on it. I like the way that Billy sings it, but the music isn't my cup of tea. |

Walk A Little Straighter is my favorite song of Billy's. I just fell in love with that song the first time I heard it. Really has a lot of meaning. It's a crime that didn't go #1.

Okay, anyone wanna take a guess as to:
a.) why Tangled Up flopped so badly
b.) why it took him over a year to put out a follow up, and
c.) why I can't come up with a third why to match his "Why, Why, Why"?

I know the answer to b) is that he went to anger management rehab for a few months to deal with some issues from his childhood, so his career took the backseat for awhile.

Yeah, I love Luke's version. I think he sounds a lot better singing the song than Billy. I wish Luke had saved it for himself and released it as a single. |

I wish Luke had saved it for himself and released it as a single. I feel the same way! Luke's version is way better! He probably had no idea it would be such a big hit and even if he knew it Luke also knew he would still make a ton of money off of it. Songwriters are the ones who make all the money anyway. |

I'm REALLY looking forward to this CD tomorrow. His first two albums are EXCELLENT, IMO. There isn't one song that he has recorded that I didn't like.

After my first listen to this today, I love this album. I really like Billy's voice. I especially love "I Shall Return" and the sound of it. It fits his voice real well.

Anyone else think this song sounds a bit 90s Vince Gill esque?

I got the CD and really like the first 6 songs or so and then it goes a bit downhill for me. I like some of the songs after track 6 but just not as much. I really like People Are Crazy. I think that would make a good single. I also love the first track, Swimmin' in Sunshine. That song really stands out to me and I love the kind of bluesy feel to it. I am hoping it's a future summertime single. When I saw Billy in concert a month or so ago, he said Walk On was his favorite on the CD, I believe. I am not as impressed with that one. Maybe it has to grow on me some more.
