A Nashville country rebel in the mold of Travis Tritt -- in other words, a defanged and marketing-driven pretty boy whose punkin head David Allan Coe or Waylon Jennings would smash a beer bottle over just on general principle -- Jake Owen makes his debut with the utterly formulaic Startin' with Me. Opening tracks "Bad in Me" and "Yee Haw" try so desperately hard to establish Owen's image as a bad-ass hellraiser that they finally become comical, and not the knowingly self-mocking Big & Rich kind of comical, either. Every note on Startin' with Me is as perfectly placed as Owen's artfully mussed hair in the reg'lar joe glamour shot on the front cover. Owen and producer Jimmy Ritchey carefully check off all the country radio clichés: Drinking ballad? Check! Cry for the good Lord's deliverance? You betcha! Leering misogyny disguised as praise for the female of the species? Got yer "Something About a Woman" right here, pal! Naturally, something so perfectly contrived can't help but be at least modestly successful on a commercial level. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

Makes me come alive
I was typing away a paper at 2:00 in the morning, tired and exhausted, then I hear this video on CMT and I just came back to life!! First time I had ever heard it and right off the back I loved it, then I looked at the video and fell in Love with Jake just the same.

Wow! Give him a listen.
This guy is great! I love this cd and am preordering it, too. Good music, Jake! I hope to catch you on tour with Kenny.

Owen's Eleven - Wrote every song!
He wrote all 11 songs on this CD - very impressive! And every one is worthy of a top 10 rank - and 3 or 4 songs should easily go to #1--Yee Haw, Eight Second Ride, Startin' With Me, and The Bad In Me. The lyrics to every song are very personal and he sings them with great conviction. Jake makes you visualize the story with every line. Every country girl needs this CD! "Hard Not To Love You", Jake!

The voice grabs you from the first line of the song
The voice is unique and catches your attention immediately. Jake's phrasing, the emotion he puts into the lyrics and the arrangements led to a very enjoyable ride. Great work, Jake!
