'Live, Laugh, Love' is the song that first attracted me to Walker and his work, and I bought the album. At first I was disappointed that there were not more songs that featured the title's calypso-like, get-up-and-dance style; but it is difficult NOT to like and appreciate the various styles represented. 'Chain of Love' has overtaken the title song as my favorite, and 'Once in a Lifetime Love' truly showcases Walker's vocal talent. Most other songs are romantic, easy-to-listen-to ballad types, and will no doubt be appreciated by his many female fans. I'd rate 'Cold Hearted' and 'This Time Love' as the weakest cuts on the album, but still give them three 'stars' each.

Overall, I liked Walker's work enough to buy four more of his albums, so maybe with only four stars, I'm a tough grader.

Clay Walker presents a well balanced album.  Sep 28, 1999
"Live Laugh Love" is a wonderful release. While all the songs are excellent one tune stands out, "The Chain Of Love". I'd reccommend the whole album for that one song. Clay's pure country and I'm glad he is!

Great!  May 03, 2000
I love Clay Walker. I think he's sweet, cute, and a good singer! I liked the album "Live, Laugh, Love" a lot. My favorite songs were She's Always Right, Holding Her and Loving You (originally sung by Earl Thomas Conley), It Ain't Called Heartland For Nothin', and the Chain of Love. I enjoyed the rest of the songs, also, with the exception of This Time Love--I think that this song pushed the limits of Clay's voice. This album is still deserving of 5 stars, though. I recommend this album to any country music fan. Buy this album and support Clay Walker!

A Complete Album!  Dec 07, 1999 By Big Country
Clay Walker's album Live, Laugh, Love is exactly right. The album has real life meaning in "If A Man Ain't Thinking('Bout His Woman)". You can laugh and dance to the title song "Live, Laugh, Love". And you can feel the love to "The Chain of Love". All together this has got to be his best album and one of countries best album.

His best CD to date!  Nov 08, 2001
While I've been a fan of Clay and his music from the first CD, Live, Laugh, Love presents a man who is obviously in absolute control of his voice and who he is as an artist.

While the song selection is even better than before, Clay takes his voice into territory that few male country artists even dare think about. Most importantly, it's not just for show. He uses his power when it fits the song. For example check out the way he keeps building "If A Man Ain't Thinking ('Bout His Woman)" and "Once In A Lifetime Love". Just when we think he can't take his vocal performance any higher, he effortlessly proves us wrong. And, in case you may be thinking this is "studio magic", we've heard him live. Have you ever heard an artist who is even better live? Clay hits his recent hits note for note and turns in even more powerful performances on his old standards.

Clay also demonstrates his knack for choosing love songs with a twist like "She's Always Right", "Lose Some Sleep Tonight" and "Woman Thing". And of course he's still able to teach a life's lesson with the heartfelt, "The Chain of Love." Overall, there is not a bad or marginal song on this CD. That's why we have renamed it "Greatest Hits 2"
