Amazon.com Lonesome Bob's sophomore disc spites its own title: some things may change, but Bob's considerable gifts as a country singer and songwriter aren't among them. His baritone will still shake any room to its rafters, his songwriting skills remain so sharp that even songs that might sound like novelty numbers ("Heather's All Bummed Out," "It'd Be Sad If It Weren't So Funny") can cut to the bone, and as on his 1997 debut, Things Fall Apart, he's accompanied by a talented posse of fellow Nashville rebels that includes angelic vocal foil Allison Moorer and fiery lead guitarist Tim Carroll. But where the earlier effort was just a collection of killer country songs, this disc is a more coherent album. Dedicated to Lonesome Bob's son Zachary, who died unexpectedly in 1998, Things Change moves through the anger and pain of the harrowing rock numbers "Where Are You Tonight?" and "Weight of the World" to the sorrow, acceptance, and hope of the ballads "In the Time I Have Left" and the title track. --Anders Smith Lindall Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsPlay it "every day" Phillip Garner | Winston-Salem, NC USA | 03/13/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Bob Chaney deserves a lot more exposure than he gets. This music isn't for everyone, I use a lot of discretion in what I let my 9 year old son hear, but Bob is a rare talent and is the kind of artist that Nashville desparately needs to salvage the sinking ship that is today's contemporary country music. Bob's music is quite mature, themes range from successful thievery ("Got Away With It") to a woman's early-mid-life crisis ("Heather All Bummed Out") to substance abuse ("Dying Breed") to suicide ("Weight of the World"). "Where Are You Tonight" is about Bob's loss of his teenage son Zachary; this may not be the best song Bob's ever sung (that is debatable) but it certainly is the best Bob's ever sung a song (and that's saying a lot!). From start to finish, perhaps excluding the uncredited cover of Clarence Carters' "Patches" (where'd Bob come up with this one?!), these are well crafted songs sung by a voice that cannot be easily ignored. And Bob's secret weapon, harmony vocals by Allison Moorer, only makes it more difficult to take the CD out of my player. Buy this CD, in the time you have left play it "every day", "every day", "every day", "every day", ...................... "every day"!" Honest as they come. Bt | Parts unknown | 07/21/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "A beauty. This guy's the real deal,and he's better than 99.9% of the music that's out there. Country rock in every sense of the word. The lyrics are awesome and the music is blazing. Also,anyone who hangs out with Allison Moorer's alright in my books. Grab this before it goes out of print;you know how these small labels can be."
