Add your review here. Love it! Review written by Jeanette Finkes, May 6th, 2006 This cd, aside from some Jimmy Dean and Charlie Daniels, was my first introduction to county music, back when "country wasn't cool". I grew up with this cd, and it was a favorite of my siblings and I. We especially loved the little "plays" going on in the background. I would definately recommend this cd as a "my first country" album for kids. They'll love the witty repartee, and the songs are in a high enough register that they can sing along more easily. The fast paced, upbeat tone of the album will also help catch and maintain intrest. And they are sure to adore the "ammended" versions of the songs. It doesnt matter how familiar or unfamiliar the song is, it's funny. To this day, I still can't help but sing "there isn't anything wrong with the radio", nor to remember that "sometimes it's hard to be a woman, giving all your love to just one JERK". My mom especially appreciated "brothers and old boots", and kids love to hear about Alvin getting in trouble with Dave for all the stuff he's done while recording the cd singing about "How he'd love to be an outlaw". Kids will love this cd, Adults will appreciate the humorous edits the Chipmunks put in while still enjoying old favorites. My mom searched all over for this cd to give to my sibs and me for christmas - then picked up an extra copy for my 5 and 6 year old cousins. This cd is a great intro to a life long love of country music. Musically passable but novelty hard to take seriously Review written by John Fitzgerald, December 10th, 2004 There are six people listed as doing the Chipmunk's voices here and I've heard conflicting stories over the years as to which characters Billy is supposed to be "playing" so it's hard to tell which songs he's actually on by listening to it as I must admit I'm not a Chipmunks aficionado. Trying to be impartial on this though, there are some good songs instrumentally speaking on this album as they are faithful to their original origins but it's unlikely you would take out these versions to listen to over the originals. "Country pride" is a fair opener when first heard but one comes to realize it's one of the best tracks after going through the rest of them. Some tracks have some humorous intros by the gang like "Achy breaky heart" (with special guest Billy Ray Cyrus, this is the most obviously campy track present though it has lost some of it's gusto over the years), "There ain't nothin' wrong with the radio" (with Aaron Tippin, and though there are some chuckles to be had in this one, one finds that once they do start getting in to the song itself, the "jokes" start to feel intrusive), "Stand by your man" (with Tammy Wynette, this one really relies on it's "comedy" to work as you'll probably find the fast songs work best here which of course this one isn't) & "Don't rock the jukebox" (with Alan Jackson, this one is OK but other fast tunes are better on here). You may even feel some tracks here just don't work and are perhaps filler like "Gotta believe in pumpkins" but there are some good highlights like "Outlaws" (with Waylon Jennings, this is a good pairing and it's one of the best rapid songs here), "I feel lucky" (which is one of the stronger "performances" on the disc) & the acceptable closer "I ain't no dang cartoon" but inevitably some here will disappoint like "Brothers & old boots" (with special guest Charlie Daniels unexpectedly singing the lead at the beginning once the song starts after the Chipmunk bickering (as most of the "duets" here have one of the characters starting in and then the guests take over the leads later at some point for the most part) and some words do sound quite silly but unfortunately the "jokes" themselves don't) & "Down at the twist and shout" as the fiddle arrangements can make it hard to hear the lyrics at the best of times (this is aside from some times when you hear something that sounds off color that makes you check the lyric book to make sure thats not what they said). Overall though not a bad novelty item to have for the Fleetwood Mac collection if nothing else and it should keep the kids busy for a while too.
