Be sure to get in on listening to this album because it just might be the best one of Andy's career. Even if you aren't familiar with Andy's previous work, you'll still enjoy the twelve tracks produced by Frank Meyers. There's a little bit of something for every Country Music fan.
The second single is "What If It's Me" and is quite the opposite of "Tattoo Rose." Instead of a man out having fun, this time he is all alone and feeling sorry for himself after a breakup. Maybe he was selfish, maybe he didn't give her enough of his time. Everything is running through his mind as he tries to make sense of things.
There have been a few of Andy's songs that have truly touched me and on this album my pick for that honor goes to "Tears And Time." The song seems like it was written just for him to sing and he performs it with such emotional conviction. It's not just another slow song to fill a spot on an album; This one is something special. "So I cry and watch the days roll by. I miss the way you love me and I die down deep inside" is what he says, but even after going through those thoughts he knows things will be okay as the days go by.
You can do anything you want while you ride in it, but don't even ask to take his car for a spin because the man will say "You Can't Drive My Cadillac." He will give her his heart, money, and anything else - but that Coupe de Ville is another story. I just love it when Andy shows off his fun side. You can't help but enjoy songs like this.
I was already familiar with Julie Roberts' version of "If You Had Called Yesterday," so it was nice to see what Andy could do with it. While the arrangement is pretty much the same, Andy's vocals provide a male perspective on things and automatically add a different feel to the whole tune. It would be great if the two could record it as a duet.
