Amazon.com Uncle Kracker might have rap-rock numbskull Kid Rock to thank for putting him on the map, but with the release of his solid sophomore set, the Michigan mauler can stand up and take a bow. For not only is Uncle Kracker the most Southern-sounding musician ever to emerge from the edge of the Great Lakes, he's also one of the most versatile. As such, No Stranger to Shame is by turns country, rock, soul, blues, and sometimes a vigorous mix of the lot. The horn-section-goosing opening track "I Do" is pure Stax with a little '70s-era thwacketa-thwacketa guitar menace; "Thunderhead Hawkins," with its drawling vocals and slide guitar, is pure Arkansas front-porch boogaloo; "Memphis Soul Song" is just that; "To Think I Used to Love You" could have been torn from the Merle Haggard songbook; and "Keep It Comin'" is fierce hip-hop. A ballad, "Letter to My Daughters," is sweet if unnervingly sappy (think Bob Carlisle's "Butterfly Kisses"), while Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath adds negligible freight to the title track. But No Stranger to Shame's finest moment is a borrowed one--a faithful cover of Dobie Gray's inspirational rock & roll love letter, "Drift Away." An underappreciated classic from the early '70s, "Drift Away" still sounds relevant, and Kracker's soulful version--featuring Gray himself--will do much to spotlight that comforting old chestnut. --Kim Hughes Similar CDs

CD ReviewsJust isn't double wide L. Cotton | Columbas, Ohio USA | 06/27/2008 (3 out of 5 stars) "Honestly, what happened on this cd. It is nothing like double wide. The majority of the songs are country pop songs, with the exception of only three.
The first song is "Keep it Comin'" This wouldn't have been a bad start to Double Wide, but it is misleading on this CD. But it still an awesome song. 5/5 The second song is "Thunderhead Hawkins". It wasn't a bad song, but it wasn't a good song either, and I just didn't like it. 2/5 The third song was "In A Little While". It was pretty big on the radio and for a reason, it was a good song. Unfortunantley, it wasn't the only one like it so it doesn't stand out on the CD for long. 4/5 Fourth we have "I Wish I Had A Dollar". This song is easy to listen to and it is a good song, and it never gets old. 4/5 I think most people know what this song is. The fith song on the Cd is "Drift Away". I really don't knoe how this was such a big hit. The chorus was good, but the rest was only okay. 3/5 Song six is "Baby Don't Cry". Good song, but it went on too long and it gets old after a while. 3/5 Song Seven is "I Do". Great song, great beat, and I think is better than Drift away and should have been a singe. 4/5 The eighth song is "Memphis Soul Song". This is the second best song on the whole Cd, only behind the bonus song. 5/5 The 9th song is "I don't Know". This song sounds a lot like a country song, and it takes a while to get good, but... 4/5 Song number ten is "To think I used to love you". There is no doubt in my mind this is a country song. It really is too diffrent from even this CD. 3/5 The eleventh song is "Letter to my Daughters". I personally don't like this song, but it is a really good song from the heart. 3/5 "No Stranger TO Shame" is the eleventh song on the CD, and it is also the name of the CD, and it deserves it. It isn't the best song on the CD, but it goes back to rap with the singing catchy chorus. 5/5 The bonus song, "After School Special" is my second favorite Uncle Kracker CD ever. It is a tight rap song that really should have just been in the middle of the CD instead of the end as a bonus song. Perfect 5/5 Overall the CD is probably 3 1/2 stars, but it is still no Double Wide " |
