Trent Willmon's sophomore bolt from the chutes not only bears out the promise of his 2004 debut, but proves him to be a more solid artist than some folks might have thought. The West Texas native cowrote seven of the eleven songs, which draw on his own life as a creek-bank philosopher, real-life cowboy, and father. For that reason, perhaps, Willmon never sounds forced or inauthentic in romancing about Shiner Bock, fishing gear, and an iced down Iglou cooler, or building a Chris LeDoux-like song around the easy camaraderie of a roping pen. He comes across as a man who solidly knows who and what he is, even if it's a jilted lover hoping to revive a dead-end romance ("On Again Tonight"). As a stylist, the traditionalist seldom veers from form, his voice as durable yet as plain as a pair of blue Wranglers. Yet try as he might, he's not really the right singer for his own "Louisiana Rain," a scorchingly passionate R&B song of loneliness and desire. But elsewhere, particularly on the funny cheating song "Surprise," Willmon proves a fine guide to his material, taking great pleasure in life's guilty--and simple--pleasures. --Alanna Nash

Rich.......2007-02-18

This CD has a rich texture; amazing vocals, humor, & blues. - Great guitar rifts. I'm not a big country & western fan, but I make an exception for this artist.

My current favorite CD.......2006-10-08

I loved this CD! I don't think there's a bad song on it, although I especially like On Again Tonight, Love Shouldn't Have to Be So Hard, and Louisiana Rain, which is a *terrific* blues song!. Close on the heels of those three, Sometimes I Miss Ya, The Ropin' Pen, Good Horses to Ride (a great story song, a little reminiscent of some Garth songs). The rest of the songs are close behind - the uptempo Good One Comin' On, and a funny Surprise are good country rockers. This is the CD most likely to be found in my CD player now@

Good for some things.......2006-07-27

The album is good, not great, and definitely not insightful. Trent's voice is kind of all over the place, at times sounding too much like Billy Ray Cyrus and not enough like himself - particularly on ballads which he covered so well his first time out. The first few songs on this album are solid thoughtless rockers that are largely indistinguishable from each other. Mostly the songs on this album are strangely grouped, and not spread out well enough. He's a good enough songwriter, and he does have a sense of humor. What I'm saying here is that while I do enjoy Trent's music, and my voice even sounds a lot like his, this album is not one I would really sit back and listen to to reflect on. For that I'd take Gary Allan's "Tough All Over" or Julie Roberts' "Men and Mascara", or even Brooks & Dunn's "Hillbilly Deluxe". This CD is one that I would pop in at a party, or possibly in the car where I want something upbeat in the background. There aren't very many songs here worth talking about, unfortunately. The album opens good enough, and it closes well with a strong performance on "Louisiana Rain", but it's all pretty standard mainstream-style country. So this album is good for a dance party and it's definitely something you could pull a lot of safe radio singles out of - something to sell and appeal to the mainstream crowd - but this year has seen a league of much better country albums than this one, and Willmon and all other artists have to realize that and step up to the plate with a more solid effort. 3 stars is a strong rating for this disc.

England think this guy is great!.......2006-06-26

I visited the states last year and was lucky enough to spend an evening at the Grand Old Opry. Trent Willmon was on the bill. I liked his singing so much I bought his debut album from the Opry shop and brought it home to the U.K. It has been played constantly since. I sent to Amazon.com for his latest album because it was not available in England. I received it within 1 week and once again it is been played all the time. I love the great lyrics and country feel to his music and can't wait for the next one.

IT'S NOT VERY GOOD...IT KIND OF SUCKS.......2006-06-19

ok i've listened to this album quite a few times and still have yet to find a strong point. i didn't get his first album so i'm not comparing like some reviewers may. "on again tonight" is the reason i bought this album and it's one of the only songs i like on it. some people who really like this cd will say "don't listen to him". or something like that but i'm right. a few of these songs aren't very well written and just trail off. as far as his voice goes, even if he has range, his voice isn't very good. i mean i like his voice on "beer man" and "on again to night" but some of these songs his voice makes sound worse. although some songs are ok none are exactly good. if you don't have the new toby keith, little big town, gary allan, jason aldean, jamey johnson, or brad paisley album(to name a few) get one of those cause ALL of them are much better than this.

don't waste your money on it...i did
