Aaron Tippin Album: “Tool Box”

I really enjoyed this CD. The songs stayed in my head long after the CD had stopped playing. One of my favorites was "Ten Pound Hammer". I remember the chorus to this day. Besides the comical songs there were some beautiful, meaningful ballads. A must-have in any country music collection.

If you are wanting to hear a singer/songwriter who put feeling into his songs and who knows what it is like to be a working man,then Aaron Tippin is your man. I have all of his CD and he sings about life and the way it really is in the world. So if you want to hear it the way it really is take a listen you will be glad you did.

This is a very underated country album that believe it or not I first got when I was 4 years old. It's definately better than the pop crap that Tim McGraw and Alabama were putting out at the time (and I'm not some country purist, I just hate corporate music).

Some of the best songs here are the fun 'Ten Pound Hammer', the bluesy 'Without Your Love', the beautiful ballad 'Everything I Own', and the pretty funny 'How's The Radio Know'. But the absolute classic here is 'That's As Close As I'll Get To Loving You'. If this song had been released 20 years prior it would be up there with the all time greats, but it's unfortunely forgotten.

This is no typical country release, just about every song is good. Very consistent.

i think that this album was ok i mean it had a couple songs that i just fell in love with tool box being one of them the way he gets in your face is just totally awesome the other one is thats as close as ill get to loving you this song is totally about infatuation and i can totally relate with him in the song.
