LOL--you've been busy today!
I have "Breakaway" and Carrie's "Some Hearts" and--yes--Cash's San Quentin album :) And not to brag or anything, I also have his Folsom Prison CD ;)
A lot of people who have bought Bo's CD had the same reaction as you. From what I've read it was a case of having too many cooks in the kitchen--plus Bo's ongoing illness didn't help :-/
Ooo I'm jealous. You have the Folsom Prison album.
'Didn't realize til I got home that this isn't the one from the movie! But it's still good.
When Bo got sick while they were still picking songs for the album, I suspect the sharks kind of rolled over him and he lacked the strength to push back. But oddly, with almost everything going against that album, it has not done all that badly. Bigger name artists than him put out serious flops last year (Jennifer Lopez for one).
Like Clay, Bo does have an audience receptive to his music. If he can get this album behind him quickly and put out a 2nd CD that's much stronger, he might do fine in the long run.
