The Little Girl sends goosebumps down my arm Oct 21, 2002
I love this cd because it has the hauntingly beautiful song The Little Girl. With this song, the artist makes miracles seem possible.

 Full price was worth the song THAT LITTLE GIRL but, Nov 25, 2001
I believe that I am a pretty good judge of music and I appreciate all types. But I was really diappointed when I listened to the full CD. If this represents his BRAND NEW ME then Michael needs to return to his former self. I have yet to listen to anything else than THE LITTLE GIRL track. The rest of the CD had no impact on me. Sorry but, this CD really made me think about all the junk we have to pay for to get to the one most inspiring song. I wish artists would consider what they are putting out to the public, even if they know that one song can carry the album.

A great one from John Michael Aug 09, 2001
John Michael Montgomery has always been a good ballad singer, and his most recent record, Brand New Me, has plenty of fine slow songs. His #1 hit "The Little Girl" is the highlight here. The song starts out as a pretty depressing song, with the girl living with her neglectful, substance-abusing parents("Her daddy drank all day and mommy did drugs/Never wanted to play or give kisses and hugs"). However, after the girl loses her parents in a murder-suicide(where her dad got home drunk, "used a gun on her mom and then took his life"), she gets adopted and goes to her new home. When she goes to Sunday school, the girl sees the picture of Jesus on the cross and realizes that He had rescued her from her abusive situation. I probably gave away too much of the plot here, but I will say that with its great lyrics and powerful message, I think "The Little Girl" ranks right up there with "I Swear", "I Can Love You Like That", and "I Miss You A Little" as one of the best ballads John Michael has ever done. He has plenty of other good ballads here, among them the lost-love songs "Bus To Birmingham" and "That's Not Her Picture", the positive songs "Even Then" and "Real Love", and the moving song "Thanks For The G-Chord"(which John Michael says he picked with his father in mind). Great ballads, all of them. However, John Michael also knows how to have fun in his songs, as he's proven already in his career with his upbeat hits "Be My Baby Tonight", "Sold" and "Cowboy Love". On Brand New Me, the songs "That's What I Like About You", "Weekend Superstar", "I Love It All", and the title track "Brand New Me" are all toe-tapping, uptempo songs, just the kind of songs someone would want to play to get a party going. All in all, I think this record is one you will really want to listen to. John Michael's made a career out of making great records, and from him, Brand New Me is still another strong one.

great album Jul 11, 2001
It is a shame that Atlantic records folded. This is the best JMM album yet, and the public is not going to get to hear it. "Even Then" is the best wedding song since "I Can Love You Like That", and radio is not playing it. There are many other great cuts that radio will probably not end up playing either. The title track is the best uptempo song since "Sold". Every song on the album is worth listening to. Buy it!!!
