 A real soul singer Jul 19, 2008
'Ain't nobody Worryin'' has the hallmarks of a classic. The dynamic range of AH's voice is employed to the full here in such a diverse range of soul styles that you know that he knows and respects the history of Soul Music. In the pantheon of legendary soulsters; O'Neil, Womack, Gaye, Van Dross, AH can confidently take his seat.
The strength of this collection of songs lies, I think, in that the arrangements and production stays true to the songs and nowhere does that great soul voice become subordinate to mindless beats instead vocal harmony is used to carry songs along. Lyrically, too, AH's maturity shows in the fact that he doesn't yak about drugs 'n guns 'n sex 'n bitches.
I only received the CD the other day and I can't take it off.

Anthony Hamilton- Ain't Nobody Worryin' Feb 13, 2008
Anthony was a victim of the music business for the first eight years of his career. He got dropped from one label, then the next label he signed to went bankrupt, recorded two albums all in this time, one never saw the light of day (and later became the Soulife album), and the other was called XTC and is pretty much none exisistent. Well now ten years later, after the then struggling musician, got signed to So So Def and released a decent album in "Comin From Where Im From" that gained him a strong fan base in 2003, well now he is not doing to bad. He released a sort of compilation album earlier in 05 called "Soulife" that consisted of previously unreleased songs from his first two canned albums, and now in December of 2005 he released the stunning soulful "Ain't Nobody Worryin" and now he cemented himself as a superstar. While he still isnt selling records in mass amounts, he now has a strong fan base. The thing i love about Anthony is that not only does he have the most gritty but yet smooth and soulful voice, he remains humble. He is unaffected by his recent fame that he has gained, he is still a country boy. And he is pround of it as you can tell after one listen to this album. Weather its the warm and summery breeziness of "Southern Stuff" or its the good old ghetto feel to "Sista Big Bones" this man is definetly a country guy. His best matireal is when he is singing about love weather its lost or gained. Like on the first single "Can't Let Go", it has that brassy thumping mid tempo clash feel to it that is similar to "Charlene". Or on the tear jerking and yet so- or in his case soul calming "Never Love Again" with its light piano touches. Either way, Anthony wont have to struggle no more after this legendary release, he won me over with his soulfulness.

It took me a few months to write a review, because at first I wasn't feeling it like I was feeling his debut cd. Put it away and came back to it with A much different vibe about it. I LIKE IT!!!!! Nice job AH.
GRRRREAT!!! Aug 11, 2007
I absolulely love Anthony! He's definitely off da chain and has that soul in his voice! Please do not fall asleep on this one! Sample first, and if you don't like it, don't buy it, simple as that. Got to admit, this is real music like I grew up with back in the day, and much better than some of the trash that's out now. Want real, get this, want the rest,get it bootleg. I wouldn't pay any real money for some of today's junk. Not that it's all junk, just to me it is. Radio is missing real music; that's why I don't listen to some of it. This is a great follow up to Comin' Where I'm from.
