Editorial Reviews :
He sings straight, writes songs without a half dozen Music Row hacks pitching in their two cents, and keeps the music basic. On Drive, Jackson mixes wistful visions with satire, sorrow, and eloquence, using old cars--'Drive (For Daddy Gene)'--to explore growing up and, on 'Work in Progress,' spoofing a woman obsessed with 'improving' her man. As usual, he explores love's joy ('When Love Comes Around') and anguish ('The Sounds'). His flair for thoughtful, evocative expression reaches its zenith with his classic September 11 commentary 'Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning),' included in both the studio version and the song's live debut on the CMA Awards. Non-originals, including the Mark Irwin-Irene Kelley tune 'A Little Bluer Than That,' fit the album's tone. 'Designated Drinker,' a duet with George Strait, is a pleasant vocal event, though it's rendered mundane by the quality of the other material. Yet again, Jackson zaps Nashville's fallacy that any recipe for success requires generous helpings of dated pop and rock.
Buyer Reviews :
This cd can simply be defined by the one great song...and that is 100% Awesome!!! Lets start off on the first track, 'Drive(For Daddy Gene). Alan sings about his early memories on his dad's boat, driving his first car and the joy of watching his own girl's drive his jeep. Beauifully done!!! Tracks 2 and 3 are very mellow numbers, great in style, but too early on the cd. The rockin' starts on track #4. Track #5 is a return to the mellow side for very nice melody which may very well be the next single. Track #6 is a very catchy tune called, 'Designated Drinker', which is a duet with George Strait. Awesome! Track #7 is the studio release of the song that could and should earn song of the year, 'Where Were You(When The World Stopped Turnin), written, recorded and finally debut on the 35th Annual CMA Awards. The live track from the awards is on track #13 as a bonus track, with the full feel of the introduction, song and crowd cheers. Track #8 is a trip to some old country fiddling. Track #9 is the last slow tune on the cd. Tracks 10-12 are just some goold ole' fashioned country. ...and finally track #13...the live CMA track of , 'Where Were You'. You must buy this cd if you haven't already, and if you have bought it then buy another one for someone that can't afford such luxories as a great cd that can help us all through the evnts of September 11th 2001. God Bless You Alan Jackson!!
