Recorded at Woodland Studio "A" and Sound Emporium Studio "A", Nashville, Tennessee.

They say--actually, the song says--you just don't fool with a country boy's tool-box. But it seems to reason that the country boy himself can, and that's what Aaron Tippin has done here. The title song of TOOL BOX is a re-recorded version of one of the nine Tippin originals that graced his last album, LOOKIN' BACK AT MYSELF, and it stone-cold rocks here.

Most of the other songs on TOOL BOX come from outside songwriters, and they allow Tippin to get back to what he does best--sing the honky-tonk hell out of ballads and country-rockers that blur the line between the newfangled Nashville pop sound and an old-timey country heart. The best of these include "You Gotta Start Somehwere," a roadhouse rocker that recalls the vengeful spirit of George Jones' "Burn The Honky Tonk Down," and "You've Always Got Me," whose acoustic rock drive brings to mind early Steve Earle. In that one, the bodybuilder-turned-singer takes the oddly un-macho angle of accepting his role as the runner-up in a woman's life: "It might help to know you've got a Plan B," he tells her in the chorus; "whatever else happens you've always got me." That's one of the most charmingly odd love notes in the modern country songbook.
