It's no surprise, considering the crossover expectations that drive contemporary Nashville, that Mark Chesnutt might strike a couple of pop poses on his sixth album. What's more like a shock, coming from an East Texas twanger like Chesnutt, is that those pop moves would be so superior to the straight country that completes the disc. You know the drill: a couple of Cajun-spiced boot scooters, a Western swing number, some contemporary honky-tonk, all of which sound plenty hot but most of which are too lyrically clever and emotionally slight to make any lasting impression. The sweet pop chorus and soul-country groove of "This Heartache Never Sleeps," however, is another matter altogether. And the title cut--a swelling cover of the grateful and sincere Diane Warren-penned Aerosmith smash--provides Chesnutt the sort of vocal workout he hasn't allowed himself since he tackled "Who Will the Next Fool Be" on what remains his finest effort, 1992's Longnecks and Short Stories. --David Cantwell

Mainstream Nashville . . . Apr 10, 2006
This 1999 release is a far cry from Mark Chesnutt's more honky-tonk material ("Savin' the Honky Tonk," 2004), but for mainstream Nashville, the guy's got a great voice, and the songs are meant to please modern-country sensibilities. Every one of them is about love, love won, or love lost. It's Tim McGraw-Faith Hill material, especially the first cut, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."

There's sweet nostalgia in "Tonight I'll Let My Memory Take Me Home" and a touch of Cajun in "Jolie." The guy is totally infatuated in "I'm Gone." And tough love takes a comic turn in "My Way Back Home." Only 10 great songs on this CD (and some are great for dancing), but the price is right. Comes with lyrics and some great publicity shots of the singer.

I've heard better from Mark Chesnutt - Not impressed at all. Mar 16, 2004
And to top it off, an Aerosmith cover? Gimme a break. Yet another country singer, picked by the Powers That Be in Nashville, to try crossover songs. Leave rock to rockers, and keep country in country.

You know what? Hank Williams Sr. would have never done an Aerosmith song. You know why? He wrote his OWN DAMN SONGS!

Anyways, I like alot of the other music Mr. Chesnutt has done. This one is just plain bland. Not enough taste for my Cajun buds. And kinda weak. I'll leave it for those who like it.

This guy is great Feb 04, 2000
He's got one of the best voices in the business. 5 stars isn't enough praise to place on this album.

This is an excellent CD!!!! Jul 09, 1999
I just recently bought this CD, and it didn't dissappoint me in the least. Track one, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," is a great remake of the far inferior version done by Aerosmith. Track two, "This Heartache Never Sleeps," is my least favorite song on this disc, but it is still quite good. Track three, "My Way Back Home," is a humorous song in which Mark actually has to find his way back home because his woman took it. "I'll Get You Back" is a good song of redemption for any man or woman to the one they hurt. "That's The Way You Make An Ex" is one of the most humorous songs with a double meaning I've heard in a while. "Tonight I'll Let My Memory Take Me Home" is a great ballad about reflecting on one's past and revisiting it. "Jolie" is just a great up-tempo number. Monty Holmes did this song too, but I like this version more. "What Was You Thinkin'" is another neat song basically asking someone "Are you crazy" for letting love go. "I'm Gone" is another great up-tempo number. Then it ends with another great up-tempo number, "Let's Talk About Our Love." It's not as country as his previous efforts, but it is still quite good!
