"Old Paint," though a ballad about a trusted horse, sounds like Bruce Hornsby. "The Fever" rocks like late-period Bob Seger, and "Bang a Drum" is a duet with Jon Bon Jovi himself. In fact, there's hardly a performance here that would identify itself as country if you didn't already know the singer was a former bronco buster. And when these generic settings are combined with LeDoux's new macho sentimentality, you can't help but long for that old LeDoux, the one who still had some dust on his boots. --David Cantwell | | | |

 Not the usual LeDoux, but still fine Oct 03, 2006
As a Chris LeDoux fan for more than 25 years and a longtime member of his fan club (and Chris is my favorite singer ever), I've got to say this CD is a bit different. First, it continues the unfortunate trend of Chris not writing his own songs (but at least the sappy love songs of earlier Capitol/Liberty CDs are gone). Second, he recorded some non-country songs--"Life Is A Highway" and "Bang A Drum"--but I think they work. Third, it's good and loud--remember, he always said he sang cowboy rock 'n' roll--but also reflective ("One Road Man" and "One Ride In Vegas"). "The Borderline" is by far the best song on the CD. All in all, it's a different LeDoux CD, and it's quite good.

 The first Chis CD with a rock star Apr 24, 2000
I think the best song on this CD is "The Borderline". It is about a cowboy and a sheriff after a group of men. The second best is easily "Bang a Drum". This is the song with John Bon Jovy in it. I never thought I would ever hear these two sing together. If you have heard The Fever by Garth Brooks, Chris also sings it. I think it was origionaly Chris' song though.

Exceptional Music For Everyone Jan 28, 2000
I just got this CD last week and enjoy it very much. Four stars is pretty good but Chris has lots of albums that are 5 stars. I do like this album as it is consists mostly of remakes. "Life Is A Highway" is great and Chris can really sing it to make it his own. "The Fever", a song written by Aerosmith is okay but Garth Brook's version is slightly better. "Bang A Drum", a duet with Jon Bon Jovi is great and even better than Jon's version. This album is so diversified that there is something for everyone and I highly recommend it.

Chris LeDoux is awesome! Nov 09, 1999
Chris LeDoux is the finest country/western singer of all time. From his heart-felt ballards to his rock and roll. Nobody can match his energy!

Chris needs to put more out like this! Jul 22, 1999
I bought this because I knew Life is a Highway and Bang a Drum. These two are very good, but there are so many others that outweigh them. I really liked the title track, One Tonight, Runaway Love, Old Paint, and Johnny Horton's Ole Slew Foot. I was disappointed with Chris's version of The Fever since it sounds like Garth Brooks' 95 version and brought nothin' new to the song. However, thats the only problem I had with it; this CD has stayed in my changer for a while.
