Clay Walker emerged in the post-Garth era of country music, and while he's not unmarked by that sensibility, he's also got a little of the Randy Travis-style balladeer in him. In fact, instead of opening with an up-tempo, hook-heavy song, A FEW QUESTIONS starts with its soul-searching title track, which finds Walker inquiring of God for the reasons why people suffer--not the sort of thing you'd expect from a guy whose sole writing credit on the album is "Jesus Was a Country Boy." Walker rocks out a bit on the roadhouse chugger "I'm in the Mood for You" and with the blues-rock swagger of "Coming Back Again," showing that he's just as adept at moving and shaking as he is at broken-hearted crooning. At the time of this album's release, Walker had already been a consistent hit-maker for 10 years, with little to prove, but that didn't slow the Clay Walker success train down a single bit.
