Produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin and Jimmie Lee Sloas, the album 'The House Rules' explodes with energy, but Kane's Oklahoma drawl and phrasing tell you this is country music first and foremost. Not just a singer, but also an EMI songwriter with a cut on the latest Trace Adkins CD, Kane writes much of his own material or collaborates with his friends Blair Daly, Casey Beathard, Jerrod Niemann and others on the album.

Seller AND Music-TOP DRAWER
Seller: exactly as described. Great price. Well packed and super fast delivery. I got it before I expected. MUSIC: Christian Kane exceeds expectations. This guy is great at everything! The music is well written, and beautifully played. To call it country rock is an underestimation. It’s country, but high octane country. If you love rock, or country, you’ll love this! Every song could be a single. The songs are infectious and you’ll be humming them to yourself through your day, but in a good way. I’m ready for another album from this guy.

Christian Kane
I had been searching for this CD for months but the prices were way out of my budget until I found this one. Great price, great condition. Play it in my car everywhere I go. Love Christian Kane!

Rockin' Country
I have been a fan of Christian Kane's acting and singing for many years. This album has been highly anticipated by fans and does not disappoint. He includes several songs that fans know well but provides a few finishing touches for each of those tracks, which only improves them. He mixes good, fun party songs with more thought-provoking ones (including the one he sang on Leverage, "Thinking of You"). Each song has its own sound, but they create a nice flow when listened to in order. I love his blend of country and rock. His band is superb. The biggest surprise on the album is a cover of Tracy Chapman's Fast Car. I was not ready for it when it came on. At first, it was very odd to hear someone else singing that song. I listened to it a second time and realized Christian's voice brought something different to it without changing the song. Now, it is one of my favorite tracks on the CD.

I love me some CK!
Christian's CD is great! There's not a single song on there that I don't like, which is really hard to find these days.. I already have heard Chris sing all but Fast Car on this CD, but I'm so glad it's finally on CD! The iTunes Deluxe package is great because it also comes with his song Different Kind of Knight, which is one of my favorites.People may be a little confused about why he has Fast Car on this CD, but Christian had said that he sang Fast Car when he was auditioning for the TV show Fame LA, (because he had just heard it on the radio) and it helped him get the job, and into the business. So it means something to him!All in all, it's a great CD. So glad it's finally out!PS... the CD is the version that is family friendly. If you want the original version of making circles, you need the download version...

Just Perfect
This CD is the perfect addition to my collection. I have added it to the ones in my car so I can always have Christian Kane close by. What more can I say than he rocks!!!! He proves it with his singing and the fact that he writes the music sure doesn't hurt any.The band with him is phenominal.You don't have to be a fan of country music to enjoy his presentation. The songs are moving ballads and really, really hard driving, gotta dance, to quote his own lyrics from House Rules, "only come to have fun" sounds.It is the best investment in music I have made in a very, very long time and is a CD I have no problem playing over and over and over.I would recommend this CD to anyone who straight up enjoys good music. Guess I have run out of words to use to describe my enjoyment which is saying a lot.

The House Rules review
New Wea Bigger Picture Artist Christian Kane House Rules Country Product Type Compact DiscI purchased this music Cd because I like Christain Kane on the TV show Leverage, and I think he plays a really cool part. That said, the Cd was okay,nothing special, very enjoyable to listen to. Most of the songs were very repetitious in the tempo and beat. I hope his next Cd will be an improvement.

House Rules Rocks!!
Oh, folks -- if you like your country music laced with a little rock and roll and a dash of down-home soul, run, don't walk, to purchase this CD!Some of you may know Christian from his acting career -- "Leverage" and "Angel", to name a few. Well, he's a fine actor, but he started as a country singer and he's got a great set of pipes. Most of the songs on this CD are co-written by Christian, and he's surrounded himself with familiar and talented company. Old bandmate Steve Carlson (a fine entertainer in his own right) is there, as is Jerrod Niemann and other Nashville notables.This has got some strong rockers -- "House Rules", "Whiskey in Mind" and "Calling All Country Women", some nice ballads -- the poignant "Let's Take A Drive" and "Making Circles", and an outstanding remake of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car." This is a must for anyone who likes their country with a little spice.

A great mix music
House Rules has everything I like in music: Country, Rock, a bit of Soul and most of all the voice of @ChristianKane01. There is music to dance to, music to do sports to and music to dream to. I love the CD and hope Christian Kane finds time to release more music in this style 😘

Ottimo!
Da neofita di questo artista ammetto che il CD mi è subito piaciuto, i brani ti prendono e non li lasci fino alla fine, un vero peccato che in Italia questo artista sia praticamente sconosciuto o conosciuto solo ad una particolare nicchia di persone appassionate del genere.Spedizione Amazon perfetta come sempre, prodotto integro, indubbiamente un ottimo acquisto.

Amazingly good album!
My musical tastes are eclectic (from Linkin Park to Enya), but I can honestly say that I have never listened much to country music - until now! To borrow a lyric from the title track, Kane's style can be described as "rock`n roll rodeo", and the resulting fusion is fantastic.I personally enjoy the country-spiced hard-rockin' songs best: "The House Rules" and "Whiskey in Mind" are outstanding tracks in this style. The slower songs have a stronger country flavour, but the lyrics are so compelling that I end up captivated in spite of myself ;-)For me, I am initially attracted to a song by the music, but the lyrics are of critical importance for repeated listening. Kane's lyrics are especially strong: clever and meaningful while telling an engaging story (plus "rule number seven" cracks me up every time). At first, I was disappointed that the lyrics are not included with the CD (they are available at [...]), but thankfully Kane is one of the few singers today who can actually enunciate clearly: I had no trouble at all understanding every word.I think what impresses me most about this album is the consistent excellence of every song - too many "albums" these days consist of one good track surrounded by filler. I do not skip over a single song of The House Rules when I listen to the CD, and I can't remember the last time that's happened.Highly recommended, even to listeners who are not regular country fans!

Genial
Ha sido un gran descubimiento. Espero tengamos ocasion de un nuevo album pronto. Su musica no es la tipica melodia country, evoca sensaciones y sentimientos profundos.

Et oui, il chante aussi!
Plus connu pour sa carrière d'acteur, Christian Kane chante aussi! Et ce n'est pas un caprice de star, monsieur a de la voix, une voix riche et masculine qui vous fait vibrer aussi bien sur les ballades que sur les morceaux plus musclés.Son style ? La country mais attention pas la country "dépressif et je m'ennuie, je vais aller me pendre", non sa country est plus rock (pour aller avec sa voix) alors certes il y a des très belles ballades sur cet album mais il y a aussi des morceaux plein de pep's qui vous mettent la pêche.Un album à découvrir!
