Guide Review - Joe Nichols - Man With a Memory
In 1996 Joe Nichols emerged on the scene with a moderately successful video, "Six Of One, Half A Dozen Of The Other," that played on CMT. However after that he lost his record deal when the label closed. In 2002, Universal South signed Joe as their flagship artist.
There's not a bad track on the album. The best tracks are "That Would Be Her," "The Impossible," "Brokenheartsville," and "Life Don't Have To Mean Nothin' At All."
With twelve sturdy tracks, Joe Nichols has positioned himself as one of Country Music's rising superstars. With more songs like the ones on this album, Joe and his smooth baritone are sure to become fixtures on the country charts.
