"No More Looking Over My
Shoulder"
In a tale of two Travises, No More Looking
Over My Shoulder finds our Skynyrd-tonk hero Travis Tritt torn
between Nashville cliché and touching artistry--divided,
almost perfectly, between the first and second halves of the
10-song collection. Unfortunately, it's the fluff that fronts
the album, dominated by trite party music and schmaltzy ballads.
Then, though, things come to life.Tritt shines with BruceSpringsteen's
macho-but-tender "Tougher Than the Rest", demonstrates
his Southern-boy restless streak with Travis Tritt's roadhouse-soulful
"Start the Car," and delivers some legit, downbeat
depth with "Mission of Love," a weepy waltz about the
struggles of the broken family. . --Neal Weiss |

Reviewer: A music fan from Morgan Hill,

One of the things that makes Tritt such a great singer is his
versatility. He can sing traditional country, blues, ballads,
and boy can he rock! This album has some great ballads on it:
Mission of Love, If I Lost You, For You. Travis also goes back
to the hard rocking style of his earlier albums. The Jules Cole
cover of Start the Car is fantastic, as is Tougher than the Rest,
Rough Around the Edges, and Girls Like That. I judge an album
by how many times I can listen to it, and how few tracks I skip
over. I am not going to get tired of this album! |
