Though previous releases established Joe Nichols as a traditionalist of uncommon vocal subtlety and emotional depth, the featured tracks on III are comparatively lightweight. Both the album-opening "Size Matters" and the first single, "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off," attach suggestive titles to material that is more like playful hokum. The former stresses the importance of a big heart; the latter concerns a girl who gets innocently careless when she's out barroom dancing. (If Nichols isn't embarrassed to sing the lines "Them panty hose ain't gonna last too long/If the DJ puts Bon Jovi on," he should be.) Yet much of the rest of the album reinforces his stylistic strengths, with "Talk Me Out of Tampa" evoking the conversational phrasing of prime Merle Haggard, "Should I Come Home (Or Should I Go Crazy)" channeling the inspiration of retro George Jones, and "I'll Wait for You" wringing every last tear from a stone cold country weeper. As Patty Loveless did on Dreamin' My Dreams, which came out a month earlier, Nichols also covers Steve Earle's "My Old Friend the Blues," which appears on its way to becoming a contemporary country standard. 


With a sturdy voice, slick songs, a nice smile, and a macho name, newcomer Chad Brock has all the ingredients for life in the country limelight. And no, that's not necessarily a compliment (save maybe that part about the smile): such traits are a dime a dozen in Nashville circa 1998. The CD is replete with soapy ballads like "You Made a Liar Out of Me" and "Ordinary Life" and party-time pop such as the Cajun-tinged, girl-at-the-lake-themed "Evangeline" and the jangly "Bingo Bull's-Eye" (sample lyric: "It's the right girl, the right guy, bingo, bull's-eye"). Chad Brock might be instantly digestible, but his music is about as exotic as mom's meatloaf. Those in tune with current-day country tones might want to check out the debut of this Florida-born former linebacker; those into original artistry had best look elsewhere.


This is the Whiniest song I'v heard in a great while. It sounds awful, and it is so non-uplifting. It also attempts to portray women as purely domestic. my hand can't get to the knob on my radio to change the station fast enough when this song comes on.
