"I have been a long time Clay Walker fan, but I admit this is the first of his albums that I've bought. Wow, was I amazed! I expected some good tunes, of course--with Walker, why would you expect anything less--but I was unprepared for the emotional barrage that hit me. This CD is cram-packed of moving ballads and rocking hits, contemplating everything from falling in love--"I Love It"--to being in love--"Real", "You Deliver Me"--to falling out of love--"Say No More", "Could I Ask You Not To Dance." I won't go into much detail, though: Most of the songs on this album are beyond words. Ballads that'll move you to tears with their lyrics and Walker's heart-felt voice--"Say No More", "Real", "Could I Ask You Not To Dance", "You Deliver Me", "So Much More". Traditional songs that fit snugly in the mix--"If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again", "She's Easy To Hold", "Rough Around the Edges." Then there's "Texas Swing", which, as you guessed it, is a country-swing combination. "I Love It" was made for radio. "La Bamba" is an oldie but goodie; you might not understand the lyrics--it's sung in Spanish--but you'll get lost in them just the same. If you're an old-time Clay Walker fan, this is the album for you. If you're knew to his following, feel free to sample the wonders that he can bring your ears!"

Clay at the top of his game

"Clay Walker issues his sixth studio album and seventh overall with "Say No More" and it seems the material is more of a bittersweet nature than that found on his previous effort "Live, Laugh, Love." "She's Easy to Hold" is the most traditional sounding of the 11 cuts on this album. Walker's cover of "La Bamba" is excellent. The title track, "Say No More", is a bittersweet tale of a woman who wants to end a relationship but she doesn't want to hurt the man's feelings. He knows what she's been pondering so he tells her to "say no more" as he wants to make it easier on both her and himself. "Cound I Ask You Not to Dance" is sort of along the same lines as the aforementioned track. The man is heartbroken and seeing his ex having a good time is hard on him so he wants her to hold off her dancing activities until he's left. "I Love It" is about a man who is in love with a not so conservative woman. "Real" is the kind of ballad you would expect from Walker and it's probably my favorite song on the album along with the title track. "You Deliver Me" is another ballad that finds Walker putting all his heart and passion into the vocals. This is a great album and don't be discouraged by the fact that Byron Gallimore (helped produce the not-so-country Faith Hill album "Breathe") is one of the producers on this record discourage anybody from giving this album a listen because it's excellent."

Excellent Showcase of Talent!

"Clay Walker is stepping up and taking his turn! Showing the world his God-given talent seems to be the message as he belts out these lyrics with a breathtaking voice, not to mention how he draws you into each song and it's meaning with such charismatic magnetism. I am really impressed with the wide selection of songs from your traditional slow, "wish I was lovin'" ballads, like "Say No More" and "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again" to his trademark groovy-rock beat with "I Love it" where he sings about his "favorite" - Texas Women! Clay also shows off his Latin tongue with his very impressive rendition of "La Bamba", and shows his Texas roots with the nitty-gritty "Texas Swing". There is something here for everyone and he is sure to get your attention when he gives it all he's got with the wonderful "You Deliver Me"! What a great song! Enjoy!"
