Description:

On the swaggering kickoff track to his third album, Charlie Robison insists that he's the "right man for the job," and the rest of the album bolsters his claim. In this case, the job for the honky-tonk Texan is to return some creative daring, roadhouse energy, and edgy humor to the contemporary country mainstream, where male artistry in particular has been suffering from the cookie-cutter blands. Highlights range from a rollicking remake of NRBQ's "I Want You Bad" to a sardonic duet on "The Wedding Song" with the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines (whose bandmate Emily Robison is Charlie's wife). Not quite as rebellious as the previous Life of the Party, Step Right Up is more radio-friendly, giving Robison a better chance of balancing alt-country credibility and commercial country hits than any artist this side of Dwight Yoakam. --Don McLeese

4Charlie Robison  Jun 22, 2009
This is my first Charlie Robison CD but it won't be my last. Great writing and great range of styles. A really fun album.

4Great Artist, Great Album  Feb 18, 2005
Charlie Robison is the definition of country music the way it should be. He isn't commercialized, poppy, or a "wanna-be-Buffet". Charlie, along with brother Bruce Robison and Cory Morrow are practically the only country musicians i listen to nowadays. Some of his best songs on this disc would be "The Preacher", "The Wedding Song", "John O'Reilly", and "Tonight". Buy this cd!!!!!!!!

1I would've given less than 1 star if I could.  Mar 01, 2004
This is an awful album. Proving that talent doesn't necessarily run in the family, Charlie demonstrates on this disc that he isn't in the same league as a singer or songwriter as his brother, Bruce Robison.

If Charlie hadn't married into the Dixie Chicks, he would still be mired in well-deserved obscurity, playing frat parties in Texas.

5No selling out for Charlie.  Jan 08, 2004
You read reviews saying Charlie sold out with this release; I beg to differ. Mainstream radio wouldn't play this if their life depended on it! While he explores a couple of different avenues on two songs, this is far from selling out. You rarely hear the kind of rough and rumble, kick-ass style of country twang displayed here anymore. Some folks keep comparing this to his previous disc, and that's too bad for them, cause I can't see what the problem is here. Fickleness keeps some people from enjoying damn fine music. In this case, it's fine Texas music.

4I like the damn thing  Mar 15, 2002
This is a good disk. The life of the party is a good disk too. I enjoy this one better than Life of the party. I know alot of poeple don't but that is me. I enjoyed "tonight" and the wedding song cracks me up. I understand this a step toward mainstream but I think he has been crass enough to keep himslef off the Clear channel network. Those guys wouldn't DARE take a chance of offending anyone anywhere.
Back to the point. I like Life Of the Party. I like this one too.
