"Set This Circus Down"
As a singer who has parlayed boyish
charm and modest talent into a multiplatinum career, Tim McGraw
seems like the guy next door who got incredibly lucky--and not
just with his marriage to Faith Hill. This easy-listening collection
features a generous 14 cuts, heavy on power ballads ("You
Get Used to Somebody," "Take Me Away from Here,"
"Why We Said Goodbye") with soaring choruses and frothy
sentiments, but light on soulful substance. For variety, Tim
McGraw proves a dead-on Springsteen mimic with "Forget About
You," dubiously links himself to Hank Williams and Elvis
with "Things Change," and crosses over toward Ricky
Martin territory on the Spanish-tinged "Let Me Love You."
Hill joins hubby on background vocals for the comparatively subtle
"Angry All the Time." --Don McLeese |
Customer review from Amazon
Reviewer: computekat from Near Chicago
When I first heard Tim's singles
Grwon Men Don't Cry and Things Change, I was rather disappointed.
But that didn't keep me from buying his CD because I have some
of his other work and knew I wouldn't be let down. The reason
I didn't care for his singles was because they weren't a honky-tonk,
rock kinda of country like Seventeen, Indian Outlaw, Somthing
Like That, and I Like it I love it. So when I got the CD, I wasn't
surprised that there wasn't any songs on the album that half
way resembled the previously mentioned songs. The only song that
could be fairly considered similar may be Telluride. Although
I wouldn't consider most of the songs to be hard core country,
I still believe it is a good album. My personal favorites are
The Cowboy in Me, Telluride, Forget About Us, Take me Away From
Here, Set This Circus Down, Angry All the Time (Faith sings backup),
Why We Said Goodbye, and the very last track. If you're looking
for some true country, you may be disappointed, but if you keep
an open mind, it is rather enjoyable. |
