And the Crowd Goes Wild

Amazon.com
A reliable, if unspectacular hitmaker, Georgia native Mark Wills serves up country for the karaoke set--folks eager for a momentary thrill of emotion, but not necessarily steeped in the tradition of the genre. His newest delivers the expected populist rewards, including a snappy title song that works the testosterone charge of NASCAR into a theme of self-empowerment, and a Southern rocker tribute to long-distance truckers, "Prisoner of the Highway," a duet with Ronnie Milsap. The former points up one of Wills’ strengths--a knack with rhythmic novelty songs a la 2002’s hit, "Nineteen Somethin’." But mostly he excels at heartfelt family values, as in "What She Sees in Me," which gives mother, wife, and daughter equal time. If the latter seems cloying, things get even sappier on the closer, "Singer in a Band," in which he deflects the hero label in favor of ordinary folks who’ve made real sacrifices. That’s country, of course, but it’s also the very definition of why so many folks run screaming from the format. --Alanna Nash

And the Crowd Goes Wild/ Mark Wills.......2004-08-21

Simply stated, I just love this album, as it proves that Mark Wills continues to grow as an artist. Whereas he's always been one of the best interpreters of ballads in contemporary country music, he reminds us with this release that he can easily rock the listener as well, beginning with the rousing title track, which takes off like a comet, relentlessly pumping the adrenaline. The story songs that Mark sings so well are here, too. I especially like "He's a Cowboy." And he reveals his sexy style with the smokey "Nothing But a Suntan", before coming back strong with a feverish "How Bad Do You Want It." He closes the disc with the sentimental "Singer in a Band" which really touched my heart.

I only recently saw Mark Wills perform in concert. He's a dynamic singer with a commanding stage presence who sincerely connects with his audience. I wish him well, and a long, successful career.

Crowd Goes Wild for this one!.......2004-01-29

Mark Wills has done it again. This album, with many upbeat songs, is the perfect follow up to the 'Greatest Hits' album which was made up mainly of gorgeous ballads. Mark Wills comes back strong, but with a new sound. In this album, Wills goes from storyteller to lover, and then from lonely to inspirational. Many different views go into the songs, and in return come fun and very well-written songs. Although there is no song that even gets close to the calibur of his previous smash hit '19 Somethin', many of the songs deserve recognition and together they form an excellent album. Some of the highlights are 'He's A Cowboy', which I can listen to over and over, 'Nothin' But A Suntan' - with its extremely catchy chorus, how can you NOT like it?, and 'Singer In A Band' which is gorgeously written and brings forth lots of emotion. It is an excellent song to end the album with. All and all, I highly recommend this album to any today's country fan, and it is definately a must for any Mark Wills lover.

This crowd definately goes wild!!!.......2003-11-18

I don't think Mark could make a bad album if he tried. This one is wonderful. I'm a huge NASCAR fan, so I get really pumped up everytime I play the title track. 'He's a Cowboy' is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The remaining tracks are great as well, but the other stand-outs to me are 'Married in Mexico' and 'How Bad Do You Want It?' No offense, Mark, but I think you made the greatest hits too soon....some of these were definately worthy additions.

Mark Wills never disappoints!!!.......2003-10-24

Mark Wills comes up, again, with yet another solid CD! Out of the 11 tracks on the CD, there is only one I am not too keen about. This song is a duet with Ronnie Milsap called "Prisoner Of The Highway". I find it just doesn't fit in with the selection of other songs chosen for this CD. But 10 out of 11 songs I simply love. If you are a Mark Wills fan, this CD should NOT disappoint. From the beautiful ballads "That's A Woman", "What She Sees In Me", "What Hurts The Most"....to the fun lyrics of "Nothin' But A Suntan", "And The Crowd Goes Wild"....its well worth your money! Enjoy!
