MAYBE HIS BEST ALBUM BESIDES THE GREATEST HITS 1 AND 2
This is a pretty consistent sounding cd. I really don't know why there is so many bad reviews on this one. A few of the songs that I didn't like at first have grown on me. Examples are "There Ya Go", "You Don't Have To Paint Me A Picture. " These both could have been radio worthy. I think these are better than Tracy Lawrence's "Paint Me A Birmingham. "

Alan really doesn't have great albums; but this one is worth buying. I like the songs on this album better than the songs on "Drive", "High Mileage", and "Somebody Loves You. " I have "Everything I Love. " It has some hit makers such as: "A House With No Curtains, "A Walk On The Rocks","Between The Devil And Me", and of course "Little Bitty. "

Really all of the songs are listenable on "What I Do. " I even like "The Talkin Song Repair Blues. " Maybe the only one I don't like is "Strong Enough. " My favorite is "Monday Morning Church" with Patty Loveless. I agree with one of the reviewers that this song alone makes this album worth buying. "If Love Was A River" is a beautiful tune as well! "If French Fries Were Fat Free" is a cute song. Alan Jackson is the only one that can bring a song like this to life. Tim McGraw has a song about french fries; and I can't stand it. I believe it's "Do You Want Fries With That. " Sorry no way!

Love this album. I highly recommend it! Go get your copy. It is reasonably priced and worth every penny!!!
Thanks for reading.

This is an outstanding country CD. What I Do - and Alan Jackson does it so well. I really like the song selections for this CD. The music will touch your heart, lift your spirit, make you laugh, help you cry, and make you count your blessings. "If Love Was A River" and "Monday Morning Church" are worth the price of the CD. Only in country music will you find a song like "If French Fries Were Fat Free. " And only Alan Jackson will make it a "hit" song. I highly recommend this CD. What else can I say? It's Alan Jackson, it's real country music and it's worth every penny you pay for it.


Nowhere Near The Quality Of Drive Or High Mileage
S. Who wrote the songs on this one? Weird Al Yankovick? "If French Fries Were Fat Free?"? "U. A. Today"? Really? Maybe he's been spending too much time drinking with Mr. Buffet and this is having a negative impact on his song-writing.

My advice to people is to hear this album first before you go out and spend money on it. If you don't have Jackson's "Drive" or "High Mileage", get these albums first. "Under The Influence" is a good album worth buying if you like really traditional country.

This one merits 2 stars for the pretty good track "To Do What I Do".


Another great CD by Alan Jackson!
I think I've worn out the CD already by playing it over and over! I really enjoy it and like just about all of the songs on the CD.


Good Times!
This one does not disappoint. Everytime I buy an Alan Jackson CD, I am happy. The sole reason I bought this CD was for "The Talkin' Song Repair Blues" and when I listened to the rest of the CD, there are several AWESOME songs on here. I would definitely recommend this CD.
