With the release of his third album (appropriately titled "3"), Bo Bice proves that the third time really is the charm. This album delivers on every promise you saw in Bo on American Idol. It's the natural destination for the journey that began with "Whipping Post" and "Vehicle" on Idol, and later with "Cinnamon and Novocain", "Sinner in a Sin" and "Whiskey, Women, and Time".
This record, from start to finish, is Bo in all of his country influenced, Southern-fried glory (full thoughts on each song are below). It's real, deep south rock-and-roll, with no apologies and no pretense. More importantly - it's just a damn good album. Like a lazy Sunday evening in the swing on the front porch, with a glass of sweet tea - this album is comfortable and fulfilling. I'm looking forward to spending some more quality time with it over the next few months.
