Free Music Review: Amazing album that will hit home with many
Hit: 5 Stars
This truly is an amazing album from start to finish. Songs that stay with you long after you turn the music off, songs that make you cry, laugh, hope and just make you keep moving forward.
There is one song in particular that hit me in the gut and made me stop and realize how blessed I was.
The song is called I'm Workin' and its a masterpiece in writing, a master piece in Tim Mcgraw's ability to get to the heart of this song with a honesty and realness that will stay with you.
This is quickly is becoming my favorite on the CD. It is so plainspoken, everyman in the writing and Tim' voice. It paints a simple, real life picture of a family. A man trying to make better for his family and struggling with all the loneliness and guilt of not being there as much as he likes in that struggle to make better for his family.. Realizing that without his wife keeping it together on the homefront and sometimes having to be both mom and dad it would just fall apart. The simple guitar in the beginning is a stroke of genius and haunting. I remember all them years in the military and the times either my husband or I would be deployed or TDY and are family separated for a while. it was very hard, but we had to count on each other to pick up the slack and keep the family together. This is a powerful song for anyone in the military or any family just going through their life workin and wanting the best and trying for the best for their family. Tim sounds truly amazing on this song.
Damn I hope no one dies on this night shift tonight
Always lit up like a Roman candle
Everybody comes in like they're looking for a fight
I'll have to tell his family as he rides off to Heaven
Then twenty minutes later I'm drinking my coffee down at the Seven Eleven
I'm workin'
Yeah I'm workin'
All these truckers out here drive with one hand on the wheel and a cell phone to their ear
Apologizing for something they missed or can't get to I'm sorry to my dear
Yeah but that's the way it goes and we sure need the money
This life of ours is far from perfect ain't it honey
But I'm workin'
Baby I'm workin'
So make the kids do their homework before you put `em to bed
And there's dinner in the fridge make sure everybody gets fed
And I know I won't get to see you before you leave for your day
I guess it's the only time that we get to say `I love you'
Baby I love you
So the last kids on the school bus as I lay me down to sleep
And I keep hurrying and worrying and wondering and praying
For all my soul can keep
I know I couldn't do it if you weren't there
There'd be no home to come home to no reason to care
So I just had to call you before I faded away
I guess it's the only time that we get to say `I love you'
Baby I love you
I love you
I love you
Damn I hope no one dies on this night shift tonight
Free Music Review: Same formula=Same Tim= please give me a razor
Hit: 5 Stars
Well here I am again. Thank God the divorce will be coming soon. My soon to be ex-wife has tortured me with country music for 12 years and finally the last straw fell last year. The divorce papers are being processed, but not fast enough for me to move out before the witch had to torture me with one more Tim McGraw CD. It's like putting rock salt on the stump of a freshly amputated leg.
Well let's see if Tim has changed since I was first introduced to him soon after my wedding night 12 years ago.
1. Same whiney voice that tries to again convince you that these songs come from his heart. Tim McGraw has never written a song in his life and nothing changes here. He is still only a 'performer' but people want to call him an 'artist'. For all you inbred cousin breeders out there, an 'artist' creates. Tim does not 'create' anything. He only sings the elevator songs that are handed to him by the Nashville MuZak producing machine.
2. Same pouty album cover. Tim is still taking photos with his beard stubble, much like Kip WInger of the 80's. You're an ugly man Tim, give it up. But I am grateful that he still wears his cowboy hat to hide his ugly bald head.
3. Oh wonderful here we have yet another duet with his scag wife Faith. If you've heard one you've hard them all and they all suck. The whiner and his roadkill voiced wife.
Folks I am so happy I will be divorced soon. I will no longer live in a nice house, but in a cheap apartment or a trailer, I will only see my kids on weekends, I have to work two jobs just to pay alimoney and child support, not to mention supporting myself, but it is a small price to pay for never having to listen to Tim McGraw again.
And to all the men out there. Do not get a divorce in North Carolina. If you are a man, you are screwed.
Free Music Review: Don't let it go...
Hit: 5 Stars
With his last two albums, Tim McGraw has been crafting the best music of his career. Gone is the "Indian Outlaw," the guy "likes it, loves it, and wants some more of it." Here is a McGraw who knows a good lyric when he hears it, who knows how to choose a song. He manages to make un-commercial material radio-ready, to take a song and make it his own.
On LET IT GO, he does it yet again. The album isn't quite as edgy as its two predecessors, but what it lacks in edginess, it makes up for in lyric and performance. One of McGraw's best qualities is his ability to take other artists' material and transform it into his own stuff; he does so here with Big Kenny's "Last Dollar," Lori McKenna's "I'm Workin'," Eddie Rabbit's "Suspicions," Anthony Smith's "Kristofferson" and "Shotgun Rider" (also co-written by Sherrie Austin and Jeffrey Steele), and the ever-reliable Warren Brothers' "Between the River and Me" and "Train #10" (the latter a co-write with McGraw).
There's not a song on here that lags too far behind...all of 'em (including the duet with Faith Hill, "I Need You") are high-caliber songs, performed wonderfully by McGraw and his band. However, if you want some highlites, I'd have to go with the stone-cold country of "Kristofferson" (an off-handed tribute song that, strangely, works) and "Shotgun Rider"; the exquisite "Whiskey and You;" the whimsical "Last Dollar"; and the revenge rocker "Between the River and Me" (McGraw's version is indeed noteworthy, but pales next to the original found on the Warren Brothers' WELL-DESERVED OBSCURITY album). Basically, it's hard to go wrong with this album, which may indeed be one of the best of McGraw's career. It's a thinking-man's commerical country album, bridging the gap between radio and alternative...and nobody does that better today than Tim McGraw.
Free Music Review: GO GET LET IT GO
Hit: 5 Stars
Tim McGraw didn't get to be a country superstar by having the best voice in Nashville. He did it by having the best ear in town. Every Tim McGraw CD has been marked by the impeccable selection of songs. And "Let Go" continues the family tradition. It's another collection of powerful songs including "Train No. 10," "Shotgun Rider," "Put Your Lovin' On Me" and "Comin' Home." These alone would be enough to make this CD a success but wouldn't earn it 5 Stars. For that you need a little bit more and different.
And Tim gives us the extra effort with a kids' chorus on "Last Dollar," a Metallica-like break on the brilliant "Between The River And Me" and by overturning our expectations of the usual duet with Mrs. McGraw by not giving us another syrupy love song but by choosing a meditation on the addictive nature of love, "I Need You" (I need you like a needle needs a vein) in which even Faith sings with a desperate gravitas we don't expect from her.
Now don't think my saying Tim doesn't have the best voice in Nashville means he isn't a masterful singer, able to comfortably handle anything from the uptempo cowboy songs to the agonizingly honest ballads like this CD's brilliant "Nothing To Die For." As his songs show more maturity so do his vocals. He is no longer just a singer but a first class interpreter. His vocals take these high quality songs and elevates them further. He has handled the jump from superstar to artist with complete success. His creative vision and ability to wonderfully convey it is a rarity in music, especially country music with its pretty boys in hats and Shania wannabes.
The new Tim McGraw CD is a complete success that doesn't let it go after the music stops. It stays with you and leaves you wanting more.
Free Music Review: NO CROSSOVER HERE
Hit: 5 Stars
Tim McGraw's new album, LET IT GO, won't be a tough sell to anyone who already counts himself as a McGraw fan. But what if this is your first McGraw album? Everyone has to start somewhere and this one is about as good as it can be for those just picking up Tim McGraw for the first time.
LET IT GO is a classic Country from a performer who some critics have increasingly accused of heading for the "crossover" classification. While some of McGraw's previous offerings have experimented with music that some might consider to be on the "fringes" of true Country music, this album features a musician who is centered and confident with his roots in the Country genre. Every track here showcases this fact. Whether it's Last Dollar, the runaway hit, or covering the Eddie Rabbitt hit, Suspicions, there's no doubt where McGraw's musical heart is.
Trust me when I say how hard it is to single out one track on this album as rising above the rest. Having said that, though, I think that my favorite is I'm Workin', a wonderful ballad that, given McGraw's flawless delivery, promises to become a Western classic.
Not much more to say. LET IT GO is arguably Tim McGraw's finest offering yet, definitely a keeper for diehard Tim McGraw fans and a great introduction to anyone meeting him and his music for the first time.
