Amazon was quick
It was quick and easy and I received my purchase very quickly. This was my first purchase through Amazon and I will continue to use them. .


A combination of Blues, Country, Rock, and even a small amount of Rap.
it has many great songs on it like Drift Away, In a Little While, Memphis Soul Song, and several others. This is my favorite Uncle Kracker CD that is available. Its a very good album and well worth the price. I think I got it used for just 15 cents. It's a lot slower and Melodic compared to his previous CD, "Double Wide" which has the song, "Follow Me" on it. (The double wide CD has a strong resemblance to music made by Kid Rock).


just isn't double wide
It is nothing like double wide. Honestly, what happened on this cd. The majority of the songs are country pop songs, with the exception of only three.

The first song is "Keep it Comin'" This wouldn't have been a bad start to Double Wide, but it is misleading on this CD. But it still an awesome song. 5/5

The second song is "Thunderhead Hawkins". It wasn't a bad song, but it wasn't a good song either, and I just didn't like it. 2/5

The third song was "In A Little While". It was pretty big on the radio and for a reason, it was a good song. Unfortunantley, it wasn't the only one like it so it doesn't stand out on the CD for long. 4/5

Fourth we have "I Wish I Had A Dollar". This song is easy to listen to and it is a good song, and it never gets old. 4/5

I think most people know what this song is. The fith song on the Cd is "Drift Away". I really don't knoe how this was such a big hit. The chorus was good, but the rest was only okay. 3/5

Song six is "Baby Don't Cry". Good song, but it went on too long and it gets old after a while. 3/5

Song Seven is "I Do". Great song, great beat, and I think is better than Drift away and should have been a singe. 4/5

The eighth song is "Memphis Soul Song". This is the second best song on the whole Cd, only behind the bonus song. 5/5

The 9th song is "I don't Know". This song sounds a lot like a country song, and it takes a while to get good, but. . . 4/5

Song number ten is "To think I used to love you". There is no doubt in my mind this is a country song. It really is too diffrent from even this CD. 3/5

The eleventh song is "Letter to my Daughters". I personally don't like this song, but it is a really good song from the heart. 3/5

"No Stranger TO Shame" is the eleventh song on the CD, and it is also the name of the CD, and it deserves it. It isn't the best song on the CD, but it goes back to rap with the singing catchy chorus. 5/5

The bonus song, "After School Special" is my second favorite Uncle Kracker CD ever. It is a tight rap song that really should have just been in the middle of the CD instead of the end as a bonus song. Perfect 5/5


Overall the CD is probably 3 1/2 stars, but it is still no Double Wide

.


No Stranger to Shame
I was very pleased with the prompt delivery of the CD I ordered.


Stop making music you piggy-backing tonedeaf wonder
Notice anything new? Didn't think so. Listen to this CD, then listen to anything off "Double-Wide".

Yes, the Unc has a good sense of tone and his rhythms evoke the roots of folk, country and R&B simultaneously, for which something must be said. That something comprise my two stars.

In fact, he'd be wonderful if he'd just stop singing.

Indeed, he gets no reward for badgering my aural nerves with "Memphis Soul Song. " This annoying detritus is a lot like the movie adaptation of Toni Morrison's novel "Beloved" in that there are so many places it could, and should, end. But NO, it drags on. . . and on. . . and ON!

And please, enough with the "Sophisticated Country Boy" routine. Kid Rock tried that, had his moments, and now where is the Kid? He's making the cover of the Onion. That's not necessarily a good career move. .
