Kenny really has done it this time. Buy Me a Rose just says it all for me. Fits my life to a tee. Best album since his Greatest Hits album. I view that song next to Lady for sure. And of course The Greatest speaks for another side of Kenny, the creative side. All songs on this CD are superb and sung as only Kenny can sing them. Sung with feeling and natural appeal. They are warm and romantic and relaxing. This album is going to fly off the charts. Kenny is back in full swing and it is so refreshing for the music industry. Every song on this CD i can relate to in some way. It sings life and reality and true situations. Hats off to a superstar and I thank him for such a wonderful CD. I have seen 13 of his concerts and he is awesome. The Music industry owes a lot to this great performer. He will always be the best. He sings what every man wants to say and every woman wants to hear. It does not get better than that!

If you are looking for a review based strictly on somebody's knowledge on Kenny Rogers, or based on somebody's opinion of country music then scroll down to the next review. But if you are looking for someone's opinion on what sounds good, then take this review into consideration. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of country music, but the message that Kenny Rogers' music delivers on this CD is so strong that when you listen to it you actually feel as if he is talking to you personally. With songs like "Buy Me a Rose" and "The Greatest" on this CD it is clearly one of the greatest collections of music on the market today. "The Greatest" is a wonderful song because anyone who was once a young boy and dreamed of being a baseball player when they grew up can relate to it. Not only does it bring back memories of childhood fun, but it also shows the determination that young children have to accomplish a goal or to capture a dream."Buy Me a Rose" is in my opinion the best song on this album. This song will touch anyone who has ever been in love because it shows the hard work that it takes to have a successful relationship, not to mention how the littlest things in life can make the biggest difference. Overall, if I was able to give this CD 10 stars, I would have. Even if you are not a big fan of country music you will still appreciate the hard work and heartfelt determination that went into this album. And it clearly shows. Bravo!

A secretary in my office told me about this song about baseball sung by Kenny Rogers. I grew up with a bat in one hand and a glove in the other. I have a 3 1/2 year old boy who has a unique talent for baseball. I have dreams of him playing pro ball one day like most fathers do. I am in a new position in my profession and it eats up a lot of my family time. I don't have as many opportunities to play ball with my son. I was driving down the road one morning and heard "The Greatest" on the radio. I pulled over and cried at the end of the song. Like your song, my son is "The Greatest"! Thank you for making a song that is so simple, yet so meaningfull on so many different levels.

Kenny just gets better with time, and this album is no exception. "The Greatest" says it all about positive attitude in an outstanding song. He has 2 great covers on here of a Sarah McLachlan song and a Bonnie Raitt song, both well done and intersting new versions of the originals. Everything on the album is as gritty and real as Kenny himself, and just at cozy. This is one CD I'm going to wear out, and then go buy another. An instant classic!

Man, Kenny boy, you're awesome. This cd is his best work yet. Buy me a Rose is the best song I've heard in a LONG time! I love it, and She Rides Wild Horses is good to, you should definatlay buy it!
