The collection of songs is likeable, and Billy sings them well. A few of them seem a bit old in content for him, for example, in the song "Spend Another Night," he sings"I instantly knew when I saw you, you and I would be forever..." But on the whole the collection is fun to listen to. The two singles released so far from the album, the title cut, and "Oklahoma," show off Billy's more serious side, but he has a fun side too in "The Snake Song." He also pays tribute to Tammy Wynette with a wonderful rendition of the classic "'Til I Can Make It On My Own." The music is generally more poppish, with the exception of the Wynette cover, but it all seems to fit. When I heard him singing "Little Bitty Pretty One," I couldn't help but think back to when I was not much older than Billy is now, listening to Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five singing the same song. Another gem from my youth was the cover of the England Dan & John Ford Coley tune, "What's Forever For," which again, Billy does well with. I think you can sum up this review with another song title from the album, "I Think She Likes Me." I think I do. Song List
