I had been looking forward to this CD for months; Charlie's previous CD "Life of the Party" is one of my all time favorites. I bought "Step Right Up", put it in my car CD player, and settled in for what I was sure was going to be a great experience. I couldn't believe my ears. It was terrible. I listened to it 3 times between Knoxville and Nashville,; it actually got worse with every playing. I can't remember when I was more disappointed by a CD.
