"I first heard about this piece of work on 12tepRadio.com. It is simply awesome! There are very few pieces of high quality work in the "Modern Recovery" genre available. From the driving southern rock of Hal Ketchums "Unforgiven", to the poignant story of "Sam Stone" by John Prine, to the clever twist in T. Ghaham Brown's "Wine Into Water", to the freedom described by Travis Tritt in "No More Looking Over My Shoulder", this compilation of great performers and great material is one of the best CDs I've ever heard. This CD belongs on everybody's top 10."

"This is a great album. I cannot believe nobody had ever thought of putting together an album about drinking and drugging songs in Nashville. The lead cut, WHEN LOVE RULES THE WORLD, is totally infectious. I can't get it out of my head. Good words we need to hear today. I know the money that is made from sales of this album goes to help addicted folks. That in itself is a PLATINUM idea."
Fantastic Album

"What a wonderful CD. I have listened to it over and over and continue to marvel at all the songs, the artistry and the underlying message. Clearly a labor of love by the group that put it all together."
An Incredible CD!!!!!!!

"This album is a unique and compelling compilation album. What is so special about it is that it is completely focused on sending a hopeful and encouraging message to those struggling with addiction. For years country music has been associated with alcohol. There are thousands of songs about a drinking away a broken heart, drowning your sorrows or throwing back a cold one, but never has the disease of addiction been so abundantly and so powerfully addressed as it is in this album. There are heart breaking and thought provoking songs performed by country super stars such Martina McBride with "Cheap Whiskey" and Travis Tritt with "No More Looking Over My Shoulder". The duet "I'm Trying" performed by Diamond Rio and Chely Wright is a powerful look into the struggle of addiction and the incredible will it takes to overcome it. I would highly recommend this album to anyone who has ever experienced addiction in any part of his or her life or just for anyone who has ever struggled. It is truly inspirational and delivers a hopeful message."
