Most impressive about this collection is that it was recorded many years back, but never officially released. The album opens with the mid-tempo "Same Ol' Plain Ol' Me," and it is followed by the uplifting party tune "We Don't Have Work" and the infectious "Over Me." It continues with the title track "Change," and he tugs at the heart on the moving ballad "Gotta Go to Heaven."
A Wisconsin native, Thompson shows his audience how to have a good time by recruiting fellow country star Justin Moore on "Livin' Like Hank." Following his new single "Daddy Had a Beer," it immediately breaks into his refreshing song "Comin' Around." He picks up the pace with the catchy tune "Rust," while "I Love Me Some You" is more nonchalant and carefree. It closes with the acoustic ballad "I Like to Believe in That," featuring his rich, baritone voice, as well as the witty "Something's Gonna Get Us All."
The Verdict
With Josh Thompson what you see is what you get! This album is very versatile and a solid musical effort. Thompson has always been one of the most underrated male singer-songwriters in country music (along with James Wesley). This new CD garners 4.5 out of 5 stars.
