Amazon.com: Muscle man Aaron Tippin is the kind of serviceable singer whose career tends to depend on timing. His first hit, 'You've Got to Stand for Something,' came out at the height of the Gulf War, and seemed to be about more than it really was. Now, his seventh studio album has taken wing on the strength of the smart-mouthed single 'Kiss This,' built around a woman's barroom response to her philandering mate. Would Tippin's label have even considered leading off with such a rude tune if not for the success of Montgomery Gentry, who's made hillbilly cheek chic again? Likely not. But in balancing redneck chutzpah with good-natured machismo ('Big Boy Toys'), sweet love songs ('Every Now and Then'), working-class anthems ('Twenty-Nine and Holding,' which recognizes the courage of the single mom), and a dance number ('The Night Shift'), Tippin has turned out his most satisfying album since his debut. Those rippling muscles aside, nobody will ever mistake him for an industry heavyweight. Yet this South Carolinian with the in-your-face drawl does his mighty best to anchor the blue-collar bottom for Country's increasingly fluffy fare. --Alanna Nash

Rating: - Got it for "Kiss This"
The rest of the CD isn't bad, but I have three strong favorites and the rest are good if you like strong country. (Note: I am more of a roots music fan, but the three titles I mention are standouts)
Of course, "Kiss This" had me laughing. Nice to see a C&W artist respecting tough women.
"Big Boy Toys" is so true. It's just as good as "Kiss This" in a masculine way. Had me laughing all the way through.
"29 and Holding" is another song that respects women. It talks about the Atlas level tasks a single woman has to go through just to keep the lives of the ones she loves together.

Rating: - EXCELLENT CD!!!
AARON TIPPIN SONGS ARE THE BEST!!! AARON IS AN EXCELLENT SONG WRITER AND SINGER. I LOVE ALL OF THE SONGS FROM THIS CD. LOVE THE SONG BIG BOY TOYS! THAT'S A GOOD WAKE UP SONG TO GET YOU OUT OF THE BED IN THE MORNINGS. HEARING AN AARON TIPPIN SONG AND GOING TO HIS SHOWS ALWAYS BRIGHTENS MY DAY!!
Rating: - Another great album from Aaron Tippin
I own this album, and I definately recommend it to anyone else. I will admit that the album does have more slower balads than I might generally like, but it's still a good album. As well as the more well known songs ( Kiss This and People Like This), there are also some real gems that you don't often hear on the radio. Big Boy Toys is awesome. There is also a great duet with his wife to end it. Start to finish, it's a great album.
