"Brokenheartsville" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
If you think that photogenic young country singer Joe Nichols looks more like a Calvin Klein model than a honky-tonk warrior, just count your blessings that he doesn't feel bound to don an ill-fitting cowboy hat in the vain quest for the kind of phony image purveyed by far too many of his peers. Similarly, MAN WITH A MEMORY finds Nichols unafraid of sounding contemporary without completely abandoning his country roots. There's no hokey, half-assed western swing number tossed in here for "authenticity;" instead, the songs seamlessly blend rock, pop, and country in a manner that finds Nichols sounding equally at home with all three. That said, he does possess enough of a sense of history to pay homage to country legend Tom T. Hall by covering "Life Don't Have to Mean Nothin' at All." And it's no shameful thing when a Hall song turns out to be one of the best on anybody's album.

      Man Making Memories!!! Joe Nichols
    Review created: 09/07/06

    Yet another amazing CD from Joe Nichols. As great as his music is on CD, I would highly recommend to everyone to go and see him live. He makes you feel as if you are a part of the show. It is always amazing when the opening act is a better show than the headliners!!! Buy any Joe Nichols Music. You wont be dissatisfied!
