Country day on The B Side seems to be approaching a certain theme - I may have run through all the 'modern' country a little too fast, as the last few seem to be that older, methodical country that I'm not a huge fan of. I do enjoy some of the background on this record - it has a few more beats and more than a twang guitar compliment. I don't think Road and Radio offers much substance lyrically - but overall it was more entertaining for me than Randy Travis. I wouldn't put this high on my list of stuff to listen to - but I wouldn't totally shut it off either. It sounds like this record was put out at a very odd time in his life, he got married, divorced and put out 2 records all in one calendar year. This being the 2nd album he released in 2005, and after all the personal shenanigans took place - I think it's completely reasonable that this one feels rushed out. Especially later in the record the tracks all start to blend in and feel the same. I guess I'm not sure whether to think Chesney has a sound all on his own or if he's trying to blend styles a little bit from some inspirations of his. Perhaps I'll have to listen to more Chesney in the future.
