Man With A Memory is the latest release from Rock Sensation Joe Nichols, and is another winner from this talented musician.
It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce thats exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isnt a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.
Joe Nichols possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with him talent alone. The kind of artist I frankly just flat out enjoy listening to.
Listen to and I think youll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Joe Nichols is clearly in top form.
While the entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 4 - She Only Smokes When She Drives, track 6 - That Would Be Her, and track 12 - Man With A Memory.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 11 - Life Don't Have To Mean Nothin' At All. Its a great track!
