"Don't Make Me," the first single released from this collection is also the first of many "I Don't Care," "She Don't Love Me," "What I Wouldn't Give," "I Have Been Lonely" songs. All are exceptional and delivered only in the true Blake passion-filled vocals we've come to expect. Choosing a favorite wasn't easy but I have to say the brightest of them all would have to be, "Back There Again." Heavily laden with piano, this heartbreak ballad tells the story of a man doing the bravest thing he's ever done by saying goodbye to someone he deeply cares about. Determined to never go back there again, we discover during the last words of the song, back there isn't a physical place, it's the breaking of her heart place. If this song is released as a single, I suspect it'll be a huge hit.
Finishing up this new CD is "The Last Country Song." When the local honky-tonk gets bought out by developers, the last night for Hank's Roadhouse is a night to party, drink and sing all the country songs on the jukebox. John Anderson and George Jones lend their voices for a few lines from their legendary hits, "Swingin'," and "He Stopped Loving Her Today."
From beginning to end, this entire CD is pure country and country at it's best. Blake Shelton continues giving us his all. Add this one to your collection, you will NOT be disappointed.
