Kershaw goes for "Big Hits"
The CD contains 10 hits plus two new songs. Newly rerecorded songs include She Don't Know She's Beautiful, Cadillac Style, Queen of My Doublewide Trailer and Third Rate Romance.
"It felt good to go back into the studio and rerecord some of my hits," said Kershaw. "The technology we have in the music business now makes them sound much more fresh and updated, but the heart and soul is still there in every song."
As for the new songs, Kershaw said, "I've been listening to a batch of songs for about a year and finally narrowed it down to a few I thought were good for this album. The Middle is all about falling in love with your girl out in the middle of the country, and Can't Put My Finger On It is a little edgy, but it's a great singalong, and I think folks will really like it."
Songs on the CD are:
1. Don't Go Near The Water
2. She Don't Know She's Beautiful
3. Yard Sale
4. Vidalia
5. Haunted Heart
6. The Middle
7. Cadillac Style
8. Love Of My Life
9. Third Rate Romance
10. Louisiana Hot Sauce
11. Queen Of My Doublewide Trailer
12. Can't Put My Finger On It

CD reviews for Sammy Kershaw
Every male country singer worth his salt has been influenced by George Jones who died in April 2013; if not vocally, at the very least because of respect for country traditions and love of a fine song. Few, however, have the skills to sing as much like Jones as Sammy Kershaw can. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Kershaw has that whole sincerity thing down pat.
For the most part, Kershaw mainly sticks to the most familiar Jones songs. He even has the guts to cover "He Stopped ...
It's appropriate Sammy Kershaw decorated the CD cover of his new Christmas album with artwork that looks like it was created by a child. This is because the music contained within is equally simple and unpretentious. Kershaw never gets too fancy with the arrangements to these songs. They're all relatively basic country, with only essential and necessary instrumentation on each track.
In between the opening reading of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas and the concluding ...
After years at the top of the charts as one of the most distinct voices in country, Sammy Kershaw, like many new traditionalist of the time, fell out of favor with country radio. His new album, "Better Than I Used To Be," shows it was their loss. On his first new album in four years, Kershaw nearly lives up to the title, displaying a voice that is as strong as it has ever been.
