Editorial Review:
Michael Peterson used to be a motivational speaker, and now that he's a country star, he seems to have a similarly inspirational intent. Like his hero Garth Brooks, Peterson makes music to live by, except that (unlike Garth at his best) he tends to deliver his messages as wisdom imparted from on high rather than lessons learned. So even a song with solid advice like "You Find Love When You Make It"--a cut that follows the album's Garth + Michael McDonald sound equation--comes off like you're being talked down to by someone who's sure he has all the answers. And some of those answers are downright scary. "Two of the Lucky Ones," a duet with Bekka Bramlett, means to express a profound gratitude but winds up expounding a grim theology: if you've found true love, Peterson explains, then you're one of a "chosen few" upon whom "heaven sure smiled." Apparently then, an arbitrary heaven frowns down upon the unlucky rest of us, or ignores us altogether. So much for motivation. --David Cantwell

Rating: - A definite "must have" for any country fan!!!
"It's just human beings being human // Not sure what they're doin' // Tryin' to do the best they can..."
The whole album is filled with gems like that. This is positively one of the most underrated albums in country music.
Whether you like inspirational songs like the title track "Being Human", slow and easy songs like "Somethin' 'Bout a Sunday", or jammin' outlaw country like "Stomp" this album has something for you!
Rating: - New country fan in Louisiana
I bought Michael Peterson first CD and fell in love with country music. Now thats all I listen to. Michael second CD "Being Human" is one of the best I've heard. If I had to pick one number it would be very hard, there's not on cut on this CD that I would skip over, but my favorite is "Two of the Lucky Ones". If people would listen to these beautiful words, they would fall in love all over again. Michael has a way of showing you through his songs a way to his heart. If you ... Read More

MICHAEL PETERSON IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED SINGER/SONGER WRITERS I HAVE EVER HEARD!! HIS FIRST CD WAS GREAT AND HE JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. IF YOU LOVE COUNTRY, YOU WILL LOVE MICHAEL. ITS WHAT THEY CALL A FEEL GOOD ALBUM. IT ROMANTIC AND IT MAKES YOU WANT TO DANCE YOUR BOOTS OFF.
Rating: - All I can say is WOW!!!!
I have always been a huge Michael Peterson fan, but I never thought that anyone can ever accomplish an album better than his debut, until someone did. It was Michael Himself! His sophomore album, "Being Human" is wonderful.This album is about being human, it's about living and loving and having a great time in the process.And this is not just my opinion.A friend of mine listened to this album. She was not a country fan before..she is now. I was in an art class and the teacher suggested ... Read More
