Not As Good As His First, But Still A Nice Album
Unfortunately that would not be the case. When John Michael Montgomery released his debut album, "Life's A Dance," I breathed a sigh of relief that he might not be another 90's clone. With each future release, Montgomery became more and more commercial and lacking with his songs. However, "Kickin' It Up" may be weighed down by a few commercial tracks, but it is still an excellent album. The title track falls into the commercial category, along with tunes like the high-energy "Be My Baby Tonight" and "Friday At Five. " The better songs on this album were borderline commercial tunes that still showed that Montgomery hadn't been completely drained of his Country soul. Songs like "Rope The Moon" and "If You've Got Love" play to Montgomery's strengths which are singing excellent tender songs that have a hint of meaning to them. The big hit on this album was, in my opinion, not the best. "I Swear" was released by Montgomery and a boy band at almost the same time. It was hugely popular for both of them, but it also made the record companies force Montgomery into the hollow A/C Country vacuum that has killed so many other wonderful careers. From this point on, Montgomery's career slowly spiraled down.

"Kickin' It Up" is not a bad album, but it's also not Montgomery's best. I recommend it to fans of early 90's Country, but the best gems can be found on Montgomery's debut album.


Great country album
His version of "I swear" is so much more romantic than All-4-One's cover. Wow, from the opening song "Be my baby tonight" which will make you wanna get up and dance till you drop, this album is a killer. Every song on here is a good song, no filler. A very good album. John Michael has a Garth Brooks type of voice, but is pure country. There is nothing crossover about him. So if you are someone who enjoys real country, you will love this album.


He Sure Is Kicking It Up.
It Is Really Number 1. Once I Heard The Romantic Tune "I Swear" I Started Liking It. It Is John Michael's Best Song Of All Time. The Pop Group All-4-One Did A Remake Of The Song. Other Songs Included On Here Are: "Be My Baby Tonight", "Rope The Moon" And "If You Got Love". This Is A Must Have For Any John Michael Fan.


i swear
I would like it if you could start at the beginning of the song and play it for say, 45 seconds? just my opinion. I listened to the preview of the song "I Swear", and it was pretty good.
