Muscle man Aaron Tippin is a two-trick pony. If it's knee-jerk patriotism you want, or even redneck cheek (though not chic), he's your man. On Stars & Stripes, he plays both themes for all they're worth but never reaches very high. The kickoff tune, "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly," pulls all the easy emotional strings--the Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell--and romanticizes the U.S. as a nation where "hard work pays off the way it should." While his cocky Carolina delivery renders "I'll Take Love over Money" barely listenable, he generally fares better with the in-your-face, raggedy-ass material, as in "Honky Tonk If You Love Country," a lighthearted tune that pokes fun at the genre even as it charms with its Hank Williams-ish pedal steel. From then on, it's hit and miss--a duet with his wife, Thea, starts out strong and then peters out--but he scores again with Dennis Linde's funny "Five Gallon Tear" and his own "At the End of the Day," a reminder of what really matters in life. Unfortunately, Tippin, who coproduced the album, could use a little refresher on what really matters in picking songs, too. --Alanna Nash

More Aaron Tippin can't be bad! September 10, 2002

Aaron Tippin's music has always been simple--sung for the people, about the people, BY the people...er, rather, a person. He's one of us--and he makes that clear on this album, one of his best yet.The first song and title track expresses our patriotic views; "I'll Take Love Over Money" is quirky and funny, even though it is mostly spoken. "I Believed" is about growing up and moving out--and still believing in hope and love. "Honky Tonk..." follows similar themes as Tippin's own "What This Country Needs"--basically, if you are country, BE country! "If Her Lovin' Don't Kill Me" and "We Can't Get Any Higher Than This" express relationships at their peak; "Love Like There's No Tomorrow," a duet with his wife, is moving and beautiful. "At The End of The Day" and "Five Gallon Tear" both have messages wrapped up inside their lyrics and harmonies. "This Old Couch" explains a man's dog-house, while "Love Me Back" is a country-rocker about a man's plea to the one he loves...the title explains it all. "Stars and Stripes", though not a patriotic CD, is aptly titled. The songs contained here-in are about the American people...which is what country music is all about, isn't it? Going by this, you could say that Aaron Tippin is everything country music should be...good songwriting, could songs, and a great voice. Yes, if it's country, it's Aaron Tippin! Don't miss out on this album; you won't know what you're missing.

I had never heard of Aaron Tippin before hearing his single Stars and Stripes. Having bought the CD I am a new fan. The bold, deep quality of his voice and lyrics that you can actually understand distinguish A.T.'s music from that of so many others. Thank you A.T., for bringing back music that sends shivers through your skin.
