5 out of 5 stars muzik for the mind.......2005-11-17

This Cd will make you redefine music forget genres IMHO there are only 2 types of music bad and good and this is Great.

3 out of 5 stars so bad, it's good.......2005-08-23

Catchy little tunes that make interesting use of instrumentation, synthesized vocals and word play. Do not expect anything like Horse of a Different Color. This is a whole different sound. I couldn't believe it was the same guy who sings "save a horse, ride a cowboy". if you're a serious fan of Kenny's music, you will enjoy it but it's not
a CD that you would pay $18.99 for.

3 out of 5 stars Interesting.......2005-08-11

Well, it's certainly an interesting CD. Would I encourage you to buy it? Sure, if you're a Big & Rich fan, or if you have esoteric tastes in music. There's definintely nothing 'Nashville' about this CD, and one can certainly understand why his label chose to shelve the disc.

There's nothing that leaps out as a potential single, and the CD seems oddly unfocused, hopping from the psychedelic 'Candy Coloured Glasses' to the Spanish influenced 'Rhumba' and nearly every genre in between, but the entire CD is oddly engaging. You can definitely hear the germ of Big & Rich in the several songs that feature John Rich on background vocals.

All in all, an interesting pre-stardom look at one half of Big & Rich, and one that I would recommend for fans of the duo.

5 out of 5 stars before he made it big and rich.......2005-06-30

While the release of `Live A Little` may have been a cynical step after the success of `Horse Of A Different Color`, it's good that fans of the numero uno renaissance redneck get some more great music. If you think that CMT is where country music is at and/or you think that putting a little fruitcake in a cowboy hat can pick up where great men left off then `Live A Little` is not for you. If on the other hand your musical tastes are in the ballpark of Tom Waits, the Beatles, Latin Jazz, any of the Highwaymen and psychedelic pop then it should be your next purchase.

Since much of the fodder on CMT is better described as `Southern Pop` - Big Kenny's album can rightly stand tall with the like of Jim White's `Wrong Eyed Jesus`, the Alabama 3's `Exit On Coldharbour Lane` and Charlie Robison's `Good Times`. If you're tired of the mediocre dreck that Nashville kicks out in the name of `country music` then this is the album you've been missing.

5 out of 5 stars Ta Ta Ta TA!.......2005-05-11

I am basically going to give you all the information you need if you want to buy this CD.

Yes. This CD IS by Big & Rich's Big Kenny Alphin. The CD is very good, but you have to listen to it a few times before you actually like it enough to start getting the songs stuck in your head.

Yes. John Rich DOES sing some background vocals on the CD, but you can't really tell. However, after you listen to the CD, you won't care that you can't hear him.

I will warn you, however, that this CD is a long long way from Horse Of A Different Color, so only buy it if you are a Big & Rich Fanatic (know all the words to all their songs; have the Super Galactic Fan Pak; Listen to them all the time; have a great understanding of Kenny's craziness and what he is about; watch anything that they appear on and when they come up on the screen you yell, "Hey! That's Big & Rich!"). You absolutely have to LOVE Big & Rich and like ALL the songs on Horse Of A Different Color. If this describes you, you will LOVE this CD.
