But the piano-playing Vassar, who's penned hits for Jo Dee Messina, Tim McGraw, and Alan Jackson, should be able to take the leap in stride. Stylistically, he's gleefully reminiscent of other favorites: \"Joe and Rosalita\" is dead-on Billy Joel, \"Like I Never Loved Before\" seems straight out of Michael Peterson, and doesn't that piano line on \"Lucky as Me\" remind you of Bruce Hornsby? But whether he's a talented imitator or a marketer with an eye for the Billboard charts, Vassar's regular-guy vocals and upbeat persona--undeniably infectious and feel-good, despite several forays into mawkish ballads--seems just the ticket as country meanders through its current identity crisis. --Alanna Nash\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhil Vassar, ISBN13:B00004KH7A ISBN10:B00004KH7A Material Type:audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheap Book Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52498549801267,"sku":"B10.17.8 STR_09-29-25_UBD_H0001FCE","price":14.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/5086\/1363\/files\/714vM1vaHIL.jpg?v=1760075749","url":"https:\/\/cheapbookdepot.com\/products\/phil-vassar","provider":"Cheap Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
