My Life's Been a Country Song
by: Chris Cagle
(Capitol)
With this, his fourth release, Chris Cagle kicks things up a couple of notches, with a blend of country, rock and blues that slides very nicely nto your music collection right in between your Southern Rock classics and your Outlaw Country discs. The thing I love most about Cagle is his confidence. He knows exactly who he is and doesn’t try to be something he isn’t. And why should he? With My Life's Been a Country Song, Cagle has made his way to the very top of the country charts, and he seems to like it there.
The title track, "My Life's Been a Country Song,” is a personal favorite, and has earned a place on the old iPod. "Little Sundress" is a great one too, very reminicent of Kenny Chesney, with Cagle admiring a young lady's apparel selection, "golden Tropicana tan" and reggae dance moves. Ah, young men and their wandering eyes. A great country record.
