Who let the Hound dog out? Jul 03, 2007
I love Mark Chesnutt... the tone of his voice is great - but this album is all baleful old boo-hoo songs. Not worth buying if you like fun songs such as "Bubba shot the jukebox" or "Going through the big D."

Blech.

Wonderful Jan 04, 2007
The Most underrated man in cuontry.
A wonderful vocalist with great music played and sung well.
You can't beat this if you want hard core sound Texas country.

I love Mark Chesnutt, but... Dec 19, 2006
No one sings a honky tonk song better than Mark Chesnutt, but this CD doesn't make the cut. It would have been hard for him to top "Savin' the Honky Tonks," and this album doesn't come close. First of all, why are there only ten songs? And of the ten, why are a few previously released material? There's no excuse for a CD like this--only 10 songs and some of them old material. Thank God Mark Chesnutt is singing good old-fashioned honky tonk again, because he's the best in the business, but I still find this CD disappointing. I also can't agree with reviewer T.Yap "thy5468"'s pomposity. Who is he or she trying to impress?

Another Solid Effort Nov 14, 2006
At last, another album from one of the most self-assured honky-tonkers going, his first since SAVIN' THE HONKY TONK in 2004. This isn't quite as good an album as that one, but immortal albums only come about once in a great while.

This album is basically a bunch of old songs (some hits, some not) that Mark wraps his vocal cords around. The title tune, "Heard It In A Love Song", is a lame Marshall Tucker tune to which Chesnutt to gives a superior rendering. I consider it the weakest song on the album but Chesnutt makes it quite enjoyable

There is a nice mix of uptempo ("That Good That Bad") and slow ballads which are Chestnutt's specialty. I really liked his takes on the old Haggard-penned Charley Pride hit "A Shoulder To Cry On", the Hag's own "Goodbye Comes Hard For Me". and Hank Sr''s "Lost Highway.

Proving himself to be a George Jones fan of the first order (they come from the same town), Chesnutt tackles the George Jones obscurity "A Day In The Life of A Fool" , a very minor hit, almost never covered, from the early 70s. Mark isn't a George Jones (no one is), but his version is quite good.

This is just short of being a five star effort - I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if allowed fractional ratings

UNAPPRECIATED EXCELLENCE Nov 11, 2006
When I heard that Mark Chesnutt was finally back in studio working on an album I anxiously awaited its release and anticipated another excellent collection from the Boy from Beaumont. When the day finally came for release I was shocked to discover that virtually no retailer had stocked the album. When I asked about it I got blank looks from people. One even foolishly noted that Mark Chesnutt was a minor country performer. Weeks went by and no one, not Wal-Mart, not Target, not Best Buy--no one in my area--offered the album.

When I finally got my copy I wasn't disappointed. There was the familiar, smooth country voice and style that has made Chesnutt anything but a minor force in the world of country music. HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG is nothing short of masterful and a must have and must hear for any country music aficionado. Good luck finding a copy, though. Better just start with Amazon.
