Album Intro：
For his seventh studio release, his first in three years, Tracy Lawrence turns in a surprisingly mature and substantial set of songs about respect, patience, forgiveness, and life's deceptively simple lessons. Lawrence cowrote three of the strongest tunes, including the title track and first single, a not-quite-so intense echo of George Jones's 'Choices.' Tip the hat, as well, to his production work, which is chiefly rooted in the sturdy sounds of pedal steel, fiddle, piano, and some raunchy Hank Jr. guitar licks. The only real missteps--the cloying seduction tale 'Just You and Me' and the cartoonish, Metallica-meets-hot-country anthem 'Up All Night'--are hardly fatal. The highpoints, including the understated but riveting singing on 'Unforgiven' and the acoustic bounce of 'Steps,' show that Lawrence has learned his country lessons well. --Roy Kasten
