Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 13–14

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Depends on how you feel about small-town values and Christianity.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    One song contains a graphic, if not loving description of first-time sex ("I kissed her sweet on that pickup seat as my blue jeans hit the floor/her body heat and my cold bare feet pressed up against the door").

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Mention of cars (Lincoln Continental and Ford) and booze (Black Label). The CD insert includes an ad for Ford trucks.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Several songs celebrate alcohol ("Then we drank a shot of tequila/baby 'till we meet again" and "And when the going gets tough/well the tough get going to the little bar down the road").
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Big Dog Daddy

Parents need to know that several songs seem to celebrate drinking, and "Burnin' Moon Light" is a fairly graphic description of a couple's first sexual experience. Liberal, urban, and/or non-Christian families might have a bit of trouble relating to the sentiments expressed in "Love Me If You Can," or the small-town ambiance that infuses almost all of these songs.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about standing up for your beliefs even if they're unpopular. Do you find yourself swayed by peer pressure, or are you able to stick to your guns when you really believe in something? "High Maintenance Woman" addresses the issue of social class. Do we really have a class system in the USA? Why or why not?
