In a world full of POP country, it is so nice to hear the sounds of traditional country music. With a voice that can put you in the mood for anything. As an avid Wade fan, i was extremely upset that Monument didn't let Wade write any of the songs on this cd, but there are so many politics involved. At least there are Chick Rains and Shawn Camp involved who are some of Wade's favorite songwriters.The album is definately full of some great music. "Goodbye is the Wrong Way to Go" shows off all of his tallents, espically that distinct voice'then there is "What's it gonna take" which will get ANYONE dancing,"Up North" once again, i can't say enough about the tallent that Wade has,you will just have to listen for yourself.It is well worth it.As far for how long it took to release, once again politics.Wade has appoligized over and over again for that.(and he has no control over it either!) I just think everyone should know how genuine and REAL Wade Hayes is.The album is GREAT and so is he as a person.Everyone should take the time to listen to ALL of his music.He is 100% tallent, writing,guitar, and singing.But most of all a very nice person and very deserving of the fame he should receive.Thank You,Debbie Rueve
