"I Don´t Want To Miss A Thing"

Mark Chesnutt

It's no surprise, considering the crossover expectations that drive contemporary Nashville, that Mark Chesnutt might strike a couple of pop poses on his sixth album. What's more like a shock, coming from an East Texas twanger like Mark Chesnutt, is that those pop moves would be so superior to the straight country that completes the disc. You know the drill: a couple of Cajun-spiced boot scooters, a Western swing number, some contemporary honky-tonk, all of which sound plenty hot but most of which are too lyrically clever and emotionally slight to make any lasting impression. The sweet pop chorus and soul-country groove of "This Heartache Never Sleeps," however, is another matter altogether. --David Cantwell

I just recently bought this CD, and it didn't dissappoint me in the least. Track one, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," is a great remake of the far inferior version done by Aerosmith. Track two, "This Heartache Never Sleeps," is my least favorite song on this disc, but it is still quite good. Track three, "My Way Back Home," is a humorous song in which Mark actually has to find his way back home because his woman took it. "I'll Get You Back" is a good song of redemption for any man or woman to the one they hurt. "That's The Way You Make An Ex" is one of the most humorous songs with a double meaning I've heard in a while. "Tonight I'll Let My Memory Take Me Home" is a great ballad about reflecting on one's past and revisiting it. "Jolie" is just a great up-tempo number. Monty Holmes did this song too, but I like this version more. "What Was You Thinkin'" is another neat song basically asking someone "Are you crazy" for letting love go. "I'm Gone" is another great up-tempo number. Then it ends with another great up-tempo number, "Let's Talk About Our Love." It's not as country as his previous efforts, but it is still quite good!
