 Little bit country... February 3, 2009
Samantha R. Ide (Evansville, IN USA)
Little bit country...whole lot Chipmunks! Fave is still Brittnay and Tammy Wynette singing "Stand By Your Man"
 LowDown on Chipmunks in Low Places May 30, 2007
Donna L. Coffee (Cape May Court House, NJ)
This is a collection of somewhat older songs. They are well -done, and the little skits included are nice, but I was disappointed that the song, "I've got friends in low places..." was not included. I believe the title leads one to believe that song is one of the tracks, and felt like I was "taken" to some degree. It was a gift, and the receiver enjoyed it, nonetheless.

Alvin is having a nervous breakdown. He tries to relax to his favorite country songs [track 1], but it's no use. He brings in his favorite singers to sing with him in his latest album, but every duet ends with an argument [tracks 2-3]. His girlfriend Brittany is in the final process of breaking up with him [tracks 4 and 10]. He gets so depressed at the consequences of his mischief toward the community that he loses touch with reality and sinks into fairy tale addiction [track 5]. He starts to be nice to his brothers, but the conversation between them results in the unloading of a lot of unpleasant memories [track 6]. He does one more concert in Nashville, but cannot resist destroying his and his brothers' instruments--something he never normally does [tracks 7-8]. He doesn't even have the strength to argue with Waylon Jennings, who is badmouthing his normal behavior [track 9]. Finally having scared everyone in his life away, he utters one final, futile act of self-indignation [track 11].
The album reflects gap in Alvin's knowledge. One that over the last decade has had an increasingly deleterious effect on his ability to conduct, let alone maintain a meaningful relationship with your audience.
This story is a manifestation of a running theme appearing in their post-2nd-television-show albums--the tendency to use mythology in order to avoid depression. But as cheery as this sentiment may sound on the surface, when viewed on a deeper level, it is in fact a morally reprehensible act on the part of the human psyche (not to mention the chipmunk psyche!). In fact, this is the core of any addiction. Basing one's dreams on externally-generated escapism is the behavior that leads to it.
Fortunately for us all, Alvin has recently educated himself out of the soul-destroying tendency to "run away" to mythology whenever there is a crisis situation in the community involving any real-life Alvins, as their latest album, "Little Alvin and the Mini-Munks" would attest. The world's children and the macrostructure of Generation X couldn't afford to have Alvin Bennet Chipmunk lose touch with reality.
(That's the time to STAND AND FIGHT! The kids need a leader, not a pusher.)

And it was much better than I expected. The Chipmunks are not the kind of act I would listen to very often but they make a change from conventional singers. Originally, I steered well clear of their music but they turned up as guests on (for example) Christmas albums by Alan Jackson and Jaci Velasquez so I got used to them that way. There are some good original songs together with some entertaining covers, sometimes featuring the original singer.
Guests featured on their own songs are Billy Ray Cyrus (Achy breaky heart), Aaron Tippin (There ain't nothing wrong with the radio), Tammy Wynette (Stand by your man), Alan Jackson (Don't rock the jukebox) and Waylon Jennings (Outlaws - my favorite track here). Charlie Daniels also puts in a guest appearance, but on an original song - Brothers and old boots. There are two covers of Mary Chapin Carpenter songs - Down at the Twist and Shout and I feel lucky - but Mary does not put in a guest appearance.
The other three songs are all originals without guests. Country pride is one of those name-dropping songs paying homage to country singers old and new. Gotta believe in pumpkins at first appears to be a piece of nonsense, but it has a serious message about faith and hope. I ain't no dang cartoon appears to be autobiographical.
If you have not heard the Chipmunks, I recommend that you hear some of their music before considering buying any of their music. If you enjoy their other music, your enjoyment of this album will depend on whether you like country music or not.
