IF THIS IS WHAT FALLING IN LOVE DID TO BRYAN....
But if this is what falling in love did to Bryan White. A reviewer below posted that change is good and the change was Bryan falling in love with Erika Page which is reflected on this CD. . . . then there must have been trouble in paradise. The CD comes nowhere near the quality of his first three CDs. There was an ethereal, vulnerability to Bryan White's music in those first ones. This one contains some good lyrics but is hampered by terrible production values. The melodies of the songs (the thing that attracts me most to a song)are really terrible. It is such a shame because he lost his recording contract after this debacle was released and he seems to have dropped out of the picture. What a waste because Bryan White is a good hearted, talented young man. .


OH SO BAD
I enjoyed Bryan White's previous work but something obviously went wrong here. This is one of the worst CDs I've ever heard. . . . maybe he was badly advised or something. There is not one good song on here. Not a one!! Its a shame too because his other albums are great!! .


WHAT HAPPENED BRYAN?
It is such a shame because he is really a nice boy with talent that was amazing on his first three CDs. Bryan White's first three CDs were awesome! I don't know what went wrong here but obviously something did; he lost his record contract after this release and fizzled out. The material here is absolutely vapid and dull. "How Lucky I Am" was, unfortunately, NOT a good luck charm for White. Nothing on this CD could top "Someone Else's Star, Rebecca Lynn, That's Another Song, I'm Not Supposed to Love You Anymore, So Much for Pretending, Look at Me Now, The Right Place, or any of the cuts from his previous work. I just keep wondering what went wrong?? Bryan White is certainly capable of better offerings than this. I hope another label gives him another chance to show what he can really do to make up for the "embarrassment" this effort was. I just keep asking myself, "what happened, Bryan"?.


Total disagreement with other reviews...
I have to say, I totally disagree with the reviews I have read on this CD. . I had purchased Bryan's first three CD's and loved them, but I just thought that he had outdone himself on "How Lucky I Am"! I think it's a shame that country radio didn't embrace this one - it had several potential hits!

"Everywhere I Turn" is similar to the formula he had used on his first three releases and has radio hit written all over it! Same goes for "The Stayin'", "That Good", "God Gave Me You" and "Love Me Like You Mean It" - all could have been contenders for the Country Top 40 properly marketed.

All in all, I think this collection is totally overlooked and underappreciated!.


So-So
None really stand out, not even from a long-term "Top 40" perspective. Although I like a wide range of music, including this type, this certainly is not the best. Somewhat disappointing. In fact, I ended up giving mine away.
