A great review on TOF. Earlier I predicted Don to be nominated for many awards, they also predicting, but for this song.

After multiple (meaning a dozen at least) listens to both songs, TOF is still my favorite. It's more upbeat musically (which is my kind of country). Plus, I love Don's and Martina's harmonies on the chorus. Lyrically, I really can't relate to either TOF or TAPOT. I'm young, don't have an old flame (have yet to even have a boyfriend), and haven't experienced any of the events in TAPOT yet.
I can see both songs being nominated for awards. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that there's 14 more songs that we haven't heard yet!

Thanks Shun, excellent review
...Well it sure makes you wonder the things that some people will say. They can see black and white but they don't seem to notice the grey...
I am hoping Cass County pushes Don into the digital era but I doubt it. I PAID to downlaod the 2 songs from itunes BEFORE they were released to youtube & I will PAY for the new full record on September 25th. As much as I would love a cd I have all of my music on my phone.
I prefer Take a Picture to Old Flame.
I get CDs and upload to my computer. I convert to mp3 for the mp3 player, but still have CD for the CD players.

The only difference from Taking You Home/For My Wedding are these 2 he is happy & in love, Take A Picture is totally the opposite; it's more like I am DONE! Anyone who was in a long term "difficult" marriage knows that sentiment. Mine passed away though & I seldom bring out the old photo albums. I am NOT inferring there is any problems in his marriage either!
When I listen I hear a story about a couple who've taken a lot of pictures of the good times, as we all do, and how they (and we) don't tend to take pictures to capture the rough times, which do happen. No one is going to take a picture of that suitcase and/or ticket, you know. I lost my mother years ago and my father recently after a long illness and all our old family pictures were there at the house. I'm still going through a lot of his stuff and he was a picture taker. Sometimes a five hour trip turned into a seven hour trip b/c he was taking so many pictures. Maybe a broader interpretation would be how people spend more time commemorating moments we forget about the in-the-moment relationships. Can't say if it's personal for Don (or if he's just taking on the voice of someone else) but I guess it kinda got personal for me. I lost Daddy in January right after the holidays.
After listening to these two songs several times now, it seems like TOF is growing on me the most so far. I love how Don's and Martina's voices blend together - very beautiful!

A review of That Old Flame!

I like that review, especially this part:
My feelings exactly!The instrumentation soars when it needs to, but also picks the spots to sit back and give us a tap-a-long with beat while allowing the lyrics and voices to shine; voices that are distinctly different from one another, but come together flawlessly in harmony elevating this song to another level.
