Little "Bitty" of everything here, when it comes to quality Country music.

It`s "easy listening country, with the right touch and flair that smells quality all over. Oh, yees, everything you love about country music is included on this CD. It kicks of with the right yiaah on Track 1 Little Bitty. Very earfriendly and country swingin` mood on this song with lot`s of radioplay hitpotensial. Track 2 Everything I Love, is an ok ballad, but is a minor letdown. Travels into cliche`s country too soon. Track 3 Buicks to the Moon, is more into "walkalong" rythmic country. Relaxable and joyfull. Track 4 Between the devil and me, has a "gunsmoker" feel over it. It`s more experimental,and has a great chorus on the refrain. Track 5 There goes, is more into "walk along" mood, easy listning kind of thing. As radioplay friendly as it get`s. Track 6 A house with no curtains is a song into "ballad country" once again. This is the weak point on the CD. They sounds to much the same. Track 7 Who`s cheatin who, is more upbeat rock&roll country, with the right uptempo beat to make it swing. Track 8 Walk on the Rocks is a ballad. Simpel and effective, with minor helps from the musical departments that helps to not overkill it. Track 9 Must`ve had a Ball, is more in the "swing jazzy mood". Quite good. Track 10 It`s time you learned about Good-Bye, brings you in the "swingin" mood once again. Alan Jackson has little" bitty" of everything here,for every one when it comes to quality country so to speak. .


One of Alan's best
"Little Bitty" is that point for Alan Jackson. In any artist's career, there comes a point where they can record almost anything and have a hit. Anyone that can have hit records with nursery rhymes deserves respect. Doubly so if, like Jackson, they can take a positively inane song and make it sound good!

So the weakest part of the album starts at 5 stars - quite honestly, where do you go from there? If you don't have this album, buy it, now.

On a personal note (being a part-time musician), my favourite moment on the album is the wonderfully over-the-top steel guitar solo in the closing track "It's Time You Learned About Goodbye". But then Paul Franklin (steel guitarist) has achieved deity-like status amongst those in the know. How can you go wrong?.


One of many great albums from Alan
The title track is about how all life's pleasures (including his partner) are ruining him and he's going to have to give them up. There were four singles released from this album. Little bitty was written by Tom T Hall and would surely have been a major hit for him had he written it in the seventies. However, he wrote it long after most people had lost interest in his music, so Tom was grateful to Alan for having a number one country hit with it and rekindling interest in his own music. Who's cheating who was originally a number one country hit for the brilliant but largely forgotten pop-country singer Charly McClain. Alan adapted it to his own style and had a top ten country hit with it. The fourth single was There goes, a song about conflicting emotions.

Buicks to the moon is one of those songs pledging love to eternity. This song and all four singles have since been released on Greatest hits 2, so if you've bought that, you may wonder why you should buy this. The reason, of course, is the other five songs. Between the devil and me is a great song about temptation. A house with no curtains is a very sad song, in which Alan describes a heartache that is there for all to see. Walk on the rocks, another sad song, is a cautionary tale about a long-term prisoner meeting his son after his release. Must've had a ball is about a hangover so it's not quite as cheerful as the title suggests, although Alan gives the impression of contentment. The final song, It's time you learned about goodbye, is a great song about a man finally not being able to take any more

If you are a fan of country music, you can't really go wrong buying any Alan Jackson album, as they are all great. While this is by no means his strongest, it is still much better than most other country singers could ever hope to record. It is the sheer consistency of his music that causes him to remain one of the hottest country singers around.


Awesome! Male Country Singer
I saw him Last Month on The Rosie O'Donnell Show talking about his new Cd. I think Alan Jackson is an Awesome!Male Country Singer.


This is everything I love!
Alan Jackson has a powerful,strong voice and expresses it towards us in an emotional and touching way. You can never knock traditional country music,and this album is yet another in a long-line to prove that statement. The songs are wonderful-if you dwell on lyrics or if you enjoy singing along. There's catchy songs like 'Little Bitty' and 'There Goes',emotional songs-'Between the Devil and Me','Walk on Rocks'and an incredibly moving love song entitled 'Buicks to the Moon'. Pick up this album,learn an honest lesson in life and think over what you've learnt-country music is everything.
