Makes me feel closer to everyone... .......2007-05-30

When my husband deploys, I feel alone, scared and yes worried.. As a military wife you usually aren't allowed to admit that.. :) This cd is amazing... I love it and it makes him being gone a lot easier.. I don't care what anyone says... We are in the right fight.. at the right time with the right President. I don't like him being gone.. But its worth it.. This CD makes me feel patriotic.. it tugs at my heartstrings.. makes me smile.. I can imagine driving with Private Andrew Malone.. I can feel proud to be an American... I can cry over "I'm already there.." All the songs make me smile... So yes.. worth every penny and more!!!
God Bless America!!!

Nashville hacks singing for faux-patriotism.......2005-12-23

Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney, Lonestar, Martina McBride, Montgomery Gentry, Aaron Tippin, Lee Greenwood, Neal McCoy, Kenny Rogers, Randy Travis, Phil Vassar, The Warren Brothers, Dusty Drake, Hank Williams Jr., Alabama, The Charlie Daniels Band, David Ball, and Blackhawk.

What do these artists have in common? Cutting edge musical geniuses? Gifted songwriters able to speak to a wide range of audiences? Innovators in their genre?

Err, no.

Actually what they all have in common is that they all appear on this package, created to commercially exploit the war on terrorism, one which contains songs like Where The Stars And Stripes And The Eagle Fly, This Ain't No Rag, It's A Flag, and Back Where I Come From. In other words, maudlin, xenophobic, cliche filled, black/white dichotomous sentiments, and the lack of any attempt at rational or questioning political analysis, all set to fiddles and pedal steel guitars, and to be marketed and sold at Wal-Mart. I should add that I am not against patriotism, when it is intelligent and well informed; this, however, is dumb, reactionary faux-patriotism. Nothing is more so than the song God Bless the USA. As an American who loves his country, I can say that this song, with its syrupy sound and its naive lyrics, does not speak for me.

I listened to a bit of this schlock on a plane ride a while back just to see how much of it I could take. The answer was - not very much. What little I could take made me want to drink, and heavily.

Some of these performers, specifically Brooks and Dunn, Randy Travis, Charlie Daniels, and perhaps Kenny Chesney and even (I hate to admit) Toby Keith are actually fairly talented; others, like former lounge singer Lee Greenwood, Alabama, Montgomery Gentry, etc, are 3rd rate musical hacks.

Ultimately, listening to this nonsense, I'm reminded that some of the greats of the genre, like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, George Jones, and Willie Nelson were neither knee-jerk
reactionaries nor apologists for a ruling political party. Then again, Dusty Drake, Montgomery Gentry, and Blackhawk are no Johnny Cashes. Just Nashville hacks, soon to be forgotten.

Great CD.......2005-08-21

It is a great CD. If you like country music, this is a great buy. Not all the songs are about America, but make you feel good and proud of where you come from.

NOTE: Most of the bad reviews below have to more with politics than music. These folks probably have never listened to all the songs let alone actually buying the CD.

To to a kids review.......2005-07-31

"would like to say that this is a great cd and I love it when people write reviews like the one written on Dec. 21, 2004 titled (One of the worst cds ever). People like you make me sick, first you don't use your real name (like your a terrorist wearing a hood), next you play it off like a kid wrote that review, very cowardly. "

I'll tell you I'm a kid (age 16) and some don't want to use their real name because this is the internet, not real life. If you knew my name or the original reviewer's real name, would that make any difference? Anywa, you say since a reviewer doesn't use their real name, they are a terrorist? Very intelligent.



"If your home is destroyed by someone, you are not going to look for the people or person involved. No you are going to the proper authorities and they will handle it.

That is what happened here. We were attacked and the proper authorities are handling the situation."

We were not attacked by Iraq and the proper authorities are not handling the situation. We attacked Afghanistan, but Iraq has nothing to do with this.

"Look I am all for freedom for imagrant's but they took it to far with the attacks. Living in our country, working here, becoming friendly with the neighborhoods and gaining the trust of everyone around just to destroy part of the country you love (so you say) is just something that cannot be tolerated. At least we had the guts to tell them we were coming. You should be thankful that you have a country who is willing to protect you and your family. "

So you think it's immigrants fault that we were attacked? And you call yourself an American? You should be blind to race and country of origin, we are all Americans here. The country of Afghanistan attacked us and we went after them, that has nothing to do with immigrants.

"Right after 9/11 happened EVERYONE was togther as a whole to make sure the people behind this act of cowardly violence (kind of like the way you wrote your rewiew) and any kind of terroristic threats on U.S.A. would never happen again. But I guess for some of you people that was just like hopping on the band wagon for a short period of time."

It was not cowardly violence. In a war you strive to kill the most enemies you can. I would only Hope the US would strive to kill or detain as many terrorists as they can just as their target was civilians. Whatever you say, suicide bombings are not cowardly, they are actually pretty effective. Find me a US citizen willing to fly a plane into a building full of terrorists to kill our enemies.


"It's not a matter of what song's are good to listen to and what songs aren't. It's about a bunch of people who support the country (they love) so they can feel safe to go shopping, go to work or just go for a walk and not have to worry about some idiot flying a couple of planes into some building's or into the ground and never see their loved ones or the light of day ever again."

Ah, back to the actual review of the CD, which you have made a minor detail. I don't care about what these singers support, I care about their music. I care about what politicians support, and how singers sing. I happen to like many of the songs on the CD, but I didn't buy it because I own many of the songs already.


"How can you say you love something if you are going to let it get hurt and not try to justify the situation. I feel sorry for the people in your life."

Well more people are in car crashes every year than were in the WTC during 9/11, so you should be pushing for safety in cars. How can you say you love something if you are going to let it get hurt and not try to justify the situation? Of course you are a very effective tool of the terrorists, the typical American scared out of his pants when a building goes down, scared to shop, when you are in more danger driving your car. We have killed over 10 times the ammount of CIVILIANS in Iraq (nothing to do with 9/11) than the 9/11 attacks killed. Of course I'm sure they aren't people to you.


But back to the CD, I am really thinking about buying it mainly just for "Hey Mr. President" and I'm dissapointed they didn't put it on another CD, I love the song and the Warren Brothers.

Most of the songs are really great, although "God Bless The USA" was overplayed and I used to love it, but now I'm just tired of it. All of these songs are great, although some don't even seem to be patriotic. But that doesn't matter to me, because great music is great music, which is worth buying.

Muscle man Aaron Tippin is the kind of serviceable singer whose career tends to depend on timing. His first hit, "You've Got to Stand for Something," came out at the height of the Gulf War, and seemed to be about more than it really was. Now, his seventh studio album has taken wing on the strength of the smart-mouthed single "Kiss This," built around a woman's barroom response to her philandering mate. Would Tippin's label have even considered leading off with such a rude tune if not for the success of Montgomery Gentry, who's made hillbilly cheek chic again? Likely not. But in balancing redneck chutzpah with good-natured machismo ("Big Boy Toys"), sweet love songs ("Every Now and Then"), working-class anthems ("Twenty-Nine and Holding," which recognizes the courage of the single mom), and a dance number ("The Night Shift"), Tippin has turned out his most satisfying album since his debut. Those rippling muscles aside, nobody will ever mistake him for an industry heavyweight. Yet this South Carolinian with the in-your-face drawl does his mighty best to anchor the blue-collar bottom for Country's increasingly fluffy fare. --Alanna Nash

EXCELLENT CD!!!.......2006-03-02

AARON TIPPIN SONGS ARE THE BEST!!! AARON IS AN EXCELLENT SONG WRITER AND SINGER. I LOVE ALL OF THE SONGS FROM THIS CD. LOVE THE SONG BIG BOY TOYS! THAT'S A GOOD WAKE UP SONG TO GET YOU OUT OF THE BED IN THE MORNINGS. HEARING AN AARON TIPPIN SONG AND GOING TO HIS SHOWS ALWAYS BRIGHTENS MY DAY!!

Another great album from Aaron Tippin.......2003-04-26

I own this album, and I definately recommend it to anyone else. I will admit that the album does have more slower balads than I might generally like, but it's still a good album. As well as the more well known songs ( Kiss This and People Like This), there are also some real gems that you don't often hear on the radio. Big Boy Toys is awesome. There is also a great duet with his wife to end it. Start to finish, it's a great album.

Glad to have him back in the swing of things.......2000-12-05

Nice to see Aaron doing what he does best...what a nice CD to listen too. Of course love the soon to be classic "Kiss This"...but there are many other well written and of course well sung songs on this CD. (Gotta luv the "BIg Boy Toy's") Only skip maybe 2 songs...hence the 4 star instead of 5 star rating.

Great CD........2000-11-18

This is such a great CD...I bought it for "Kiss This", but there are so many other good ones on there. A lot of songs expressing Aaron's heartfelt devotion to his wife, which is refreshing in country music (you can only take so many cheatin', leavin', cryin' in my beer kind of songs, you know?) There are a few songs I skip over when I play this CD, but not many.

Absolute Blue Collar Twang.......2001-07-19

Aaron Tippin is hard-core country. His raw, ear-jarring twang often sounds like a howling coyote. Yet Tippin has found a successful niche in country music by consistently relating to working class values on his best singles (most of which he also wrote). All of those very best cuts are found on this thirteen-track collection - along with a few also-rans.

"Working Man's Ph.D." and "I Got It Honest" take a proud stance on manual labor. "You've Got To Stand For Something" and "I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way" celebrate sticking to one's beliefs and doing the right thing no matter where you come from. Tippin also appeals to his less-than -wealthy core audience through humor on "There Ain't Nothing Wrong With The Radio". This novelty number depicts the car from hell which an upbeat Tippin won't unload, due to its lone remaining sonic asset.

Tippin even fits some romantic songs into his repertoire (usually of the unsuccessful at love type). The honky tonkin' "My Blue Angel" finds Tippin yodelling about a lost love he's still searching for, while in the straight forward ballad That's As Close As I'll Get To Loving You," he pines for a girl he can never have. When Tippin does finally get the girl in a song, it turns out...he has to answer "The Call Of The Wild."

The ... and then some in the album title refers to the four new tracks which you never heard on a radio station near you since Tippin had parted company with RCA (who subsequently didn't give them a promotional push). Too bad, since a couple of the tunes are vintage Tippin. "The Door" uses typical Tippin metaphors like a hammer, saw, and hard work to construct the tale of a struggling relationship whose inhabitants need a little space, while the atmospheric "Cold Gray Kentucky Morning" revisits the lost love angle.

You won't find a lot of emotional depth on this collection. Tippin seeks foremost to entertain his listeners and, within the confines of his working man persona, he usually succeeds. If you are in the mood for some country music that's festive and you don't mind a lotta twang, give this set a try.

A Different Kind of Country.......2000-11-02

Aaron Tippin has one heck of a unique voice, and is a very talented performer. His song lyrics are always from the heart, and one can tell he lives by his own rules. I know people who don't like country who like Aaron Tippin. Stand-out tracks on this album include "My Blue Angel," "You've Got to Stand for Something," "Working Man's PH.D," and "Whole Lotta Love on the Line." Give this CD a try....it's well worth it.

Up there with the best.......2000-09-03

When I first listened to this CD I was reminded of everything I hated about Country Music, back when "twang was the thang" and all songs promoted feelings of suicide. However, this album walks a great middle line between "classic country", and "new American music" - and I have to say does so very well. From the cow call balladeering of Blue Angel to a masterful cover of You have to stand for something. This is the kind of music you can play loud or incidental, a good all round album, with something for everyone. Sadly most New Country in England is unavailable or overpriced unless it is deemed mainstream. This Album is a great introduction to Aaron's extensive vocal and musical range, standing shoulder to shoulder with many of todays other artists, and deserves a wider audience.

A CD CAN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!.......1999-04-26

I WAS TOTALLY DELIGHTED WITH THIS CD. I QUIT LISTENING TO COUNTRY MUSIC ON THE RADIO QUITE A WHILE BACK BECAUSE I THINK THE MAJORITY OF THE NEW COUNTRY ARTISTS TODAY ALL SOUND ALIKE. I ACCIDENTALLY FOUND A COUNTRY STATION THAT PLAYS ONLY "OLD" COUNTRY MUSIC AND AARON TIPPIN WAS THE FEATURED ARTIST FOR THE DAY. WHEN HE SINGS "THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I HOLD YOU" -- EVEN THOUGH I DON'T SMOKE -- I NEED A CIGARETTE! THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD. I BOUGHT THE CD JUST FOR THAT SONG. I WAS THRILLED WITH THE REST AND SOON BECAME QUITE ENTHRALLED WITH HIS "THAT'S AS CLOSE AS I'LL GET TO LOVING YOU". THERE IS NOTHING ANYONE CAN CRITICIZE ABOUT THIS CD OR THIS MAN. WHAT A MAN! WHAT A SINGER!

Despite the title, this is not a rebel-rousing call to arms. In fact, the title track is a diatribe against much of contemporary country fare ("What this country needs / is a little more steel guitar"). Unfortunately, the rest of the album doesn't quite live up to this rallying cry. Instead, Tippin treads common ground, too often falling back on Eagles' country-rock conventions and lovelorn balladry. There are exceptions, of course, namely the revelatory "I'm Leaving," the barroom swinger "Don't Stop (We're Just Getting Started)," and the contrite "Back When I Knew Everything." On these, Tippin's Haggardesque vocals and "stone country" image mesh with the material. --Alexandra Russell

What this country needs Aaron Tippin.......2000-02-15

I just ordered this CD because I love "For You I Will". My quest to discover the artist took weeks. I'd hear the song on the radio when they did not announce the artist's name....FINALLY, I heard it and ordered it immediately. I can't wait to play it.

Great country music.......1999-10-09

"For you I will" is one of my favorite country music songs. I listen to this Tippin CD when I'm out in morning during my 3 mile run with my dog. "What this Country Needs" gets me fired up and the rest of the album keeps me running. I'm a Jazz lover, but country music like this, makes me want more and more. Thanks for the great tunes Aaron. When will we see you in Cleveland??

AARON TIPPIN AT HIS BEST!!!!!.......1999-04-21

This is the greatest Aaron Tippin recording ever! His latest effort on the Lyric Street label gives fans what they want, that wonderful Aaron Tippin sound. "For You I Will" is only the beginning. "I'm Leaving" is already his next hit. "Sweetwater" and "You're the Only Reason for Me" are both excellent. I could listen to them over and over. Aaron brings country back to country music. This newest CD in the Aaron Tippin catalog makes wonderful material for the highlight of any fan's dream, an Aaron Tippin concert.

What a CD!.......1999-03-26

This CD is my first by Aaron Tippin. It is absolutely wonderful. I play it each morning for my own private Aaron concert.

Easily the best collection of Tippin's RCA Years.......2004-02-22

This new set surpasses previous Aaron Tippin collections, like his 13-track Greatest Hits... and Then Some and the 16-track RCA Country Legends. It includes 17 of the 19 singles Tippin charted during his 1990-1997 RCA tenure (only "She Made A Memory Out Of Me" and "Everything I Own" - neither of which cracked the top 50 - are missing). This includes "Honkytonk Superman" which isn't available on either of the aforementioned Tippin sets and ranks as one of his most fun recordings.

Muscle man Aaron Tippin is a two-trick pony. If it's knee-jerk patriotism you want, or even redneck cheek (though not chic), he's your man. On Stars & Stripes, he plays both themes for all they're worth but never reaches very high. The kickoff tune, "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly," pulls all the easy emotional strings--the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell--and romanticizes the U.S. as a nation where "hard work pays off the way it should." While his cocky Carolina delivery renders "I'll Take Love over Money" barely listenable, he generally fares better with the in-your-face, raggedy-ass material, as in "Honky Tonk If You Love Country," a lighthearted tune that pokes fun at the genre even as it charms with its Hank Williams-ish pedal steel. From then on, it's hit and miss--a duet with his wife, Thea, starts out strong and then peters out--but he scores again with Dennis Linde's funny "Five Gallon Tear" and his own "At the End of the Day," a reminder of what really matters in life. Unfortunately, Tippin, who coproduced the album, could use a little refresher on what really matters in picking songs, too. --Alanna Nash

a new fan.......2003-05-09

I had never heard of Aaron Tippin before hearing his single Stars and Stripes. Having bought the CD I am a new fan. The bold, deep quality of his voice and lyrics that you can actually understand distinguish A.T.'s music from that of so many others. Thank you A.T., for bringing back music that sends shivers through your skin.

More Aaron Tippin can't be bad!.......2002-09-11

Aaron Tippin's music has always been simple--sung for the people, about the people, BY the people...er, rather, a person. He's one of us--and he makes that clear on this album, one of his best yet.

The first song and title track expresses our patriotic views; "I'll Take Love Over Money" is quirky and funny, even though it is mostly spoken. "I Believed" is about growing up and moving out--and still believing in hope and love. "Honky Tonk..." follows similar themes as Tippin's own "What This Country Needs"--basically, if you are country, BE country! "If Her Lovin' Don't Kill Me" and "We Can't Get Any Higher Than This" express relationships at their peak; "Love Like There's No Tomorrow," a duet with his wife, is moving and beautiful. "At The End of The Day" and "Five Gallon Tear" both have messages wrapped up inside their lyrics and harmonies. "This Old Couch" explains a man's dog-house, while "Love Me Back" is a country-rocker about a man's plea to the one he loves...the title explains it all.

"Stars and Stripes", though not a patriotic CD, is aptly titled. The songs contained here-in are about the American people...which is what country music is all about, isn't it? Going by this, you could say that Aaron Tippin is everything country music should be...good songwriting, could songs, and a great voice. Yes, if it's country, it's Aaron Tippin! Don't miss out on this album; you won't know what you're missing.
