iTunes Review
With or without his partner Big Kenny, John Rich likes to stir up controversy when the mood strikes him. On his solo debut Son of a Preacher Man, the ex-Lonestar vocalist matches some pointed political commentary with assorted observations on life, love and family. Tapping into a vein of populist anger, he assails greedy corporate execs in “Shuttin’ Detroit Down,” and then celebrates heartland values in “The Good Lord and the Man” (a toast to World War II heroes), “Trucker Man” (an anthem for today’s long-haulers), and “Preacher Man” (an affirmation of that Old Time Religion and the father who embodied it). Balancing these message-laden numbers are stirring romantic ballads like “Another You” and “I Thought You’d Never Ask.” There are some welcome flashes of Rich’s outrageous side as well, found in the swaggering “Everybody Wants to Be Me” and the boozy, Big Band-flavored “Drive Myself to Drink.” The music here is up to Big & Rich’s usual standard of sharp, smoothly executed country-rock.
Customer Reviews
Good job John !
I think he did a great job. I really like his voice. I also love a few song on this album too. "Why Does Somebody Always Have To Die" and "Shuttin' Detroit Down" are my favorites so far. Just give him a chance.
Speaking for a lot of us
Wow, this man has really nailed the way we are feeling. Honest and touching.
I really didn't want to like this album
Like the title says, I really didn't want to like this album but I really do. I'm not a huge John Rich fan. He seems to find a way of getting under your skin with his attitude and actions. Also his mixes and production on others albums has been less than stellar. But you have to give credit where credit it due, he can write a heck of a song. The acoustic stuff is basically a waste (Hicktown is kind of cool but not a big deal). However the rest of the album is great. The Good Lord and the Man is a great tribute song to the WWII generation, Shuttin' Detroit down is a great song and says what many people are thinking. Trucker Man has a cool grove and talks about real working people. Another you is a nice country power ballad. Everybody wants to be me is a funky little self indulgant tune. The best song on the album is Why Does Somebody Always Have to Die, it definately makes you think. Drive myself to drink is kind of a big band era type tune that JR pulls off extremely well. Even if you don't like him, take a listen, I think you will be surprised.
