In the simmering factional dispute around the question "How much can withstand Pop Country?", Another top-class the scene has taken a position with his latest album. Billy Currington, as Feelgood-Guy suffers from a natural given, relaxed Smoothness, has hit with "We Are Tonight" clearly on the side of tradition preservers. Although this line was loyalty towards the same time published albums by Chris Young and Justin Moore acknowledged with lower sales, convinced This high authenticity, unexcited reduced-arrangements and a high level of "Good Vibrations". The opener and smash hit "Hey girl" knocking off a bit from the way and leaves you with the industry-standard personalities and the yobbish Machismoseele cheers. Already in the pleasant-reduced "Wingman" and the afflicted with a slight George Strait Attitude "One way ticket" tradition thread is associated consistently received and skillfully with a buzzer-Revival-Feeling.

After winking Willie Nelson duet "Hard to be a hippie" follow the perhaps strongest moments of entertaining but clearly too short 10teiligen concoction. "Closer Tonight" is consistently outstanding and comes close to former career highlights such as "Must be doin` something right" or "People are crazy". Also, also from the spring Shane McAnallys "Another day without you" or the original Jack Johnson Cover "Banana Pancakes" bring the feelgood Habit perfect to light. The final Earcatcher "Hallelujah" solidifies the impression that Billy Currington has never sounded better with his now 40 Lenzen.
Conclusion: Billy Currington has with "We Are Tonight" the mainstream pressure withstood and continued with the help of a shrewd producer trio his line in the sense of tradition convincing. He by no means afraid that some colleagues now use as uncool proscribed Steel Guitar to underpin its position as Countryguy addition to existing -and Pop Soul bonds. The album comes out in total without any filler and reinforced the desire again to restart the fading summer. The only drawback 38 minutes of playing time are chosen in view of the excellent performance too short. Therefore:
