Aaron Tippin Album: “Lookin' Back at Myself”

If you are an Aaron Tippin fan, then you will love every song on this cd. If you are not, then you will write bad reviews. I have heard Tippin songs that were meant to be cheesy like "Honky Tonk Superman" but that is his style. I have never heard a bad Tippin song. He has that "Honky Tonk" sound that makes you wanna grab a beer and a pool cue. I am sure that someone from New York would never understand that, but here in Texas we get it. If you know that distinct Aaron Tippin sound and like it, then you will love this cd as well as his others.

This disc opens on a really vigorous, fun (and funny) note, with several mildly raunchy tunes about his woman's good, good lovin' (including the jovial "Lovin' Me Into An Early Grave," which kinda sums up what's best about Tippin's cheerfully low-brow approach). He starts to lose me, though, midway through the album on the dopey "Country Boy's Tool Box," which takes the sexual innuendo gimmick and bluntly pounds it to death. Then the disc sort of loses momentum and focus, with weak tunes like "Bayou Baby," and "You Are The Woman," which are thankfully somewhat balanced by slightly better material such as the moody title track and the name-droppy "Mission From Hank." It's a bummer, though that the whole album isn't as good and as much fun as the first three songs. Oh well. Overall, this is a pretty decent record; it's certainly much better than some of his later efforts.
