Tim McGraw - Place in the Sun - Music & Performance - CD

With his last release, Everywhere, Tim McGraw went further than any country music artist has ever gone, releasing six #1 singles off the same album - an album that, appropriately, was named 1998's Album of the Year by the Country Music Association. It's a tough act to follow, but Tim has accomplished the task with a Place in the Sun, a collection of 14 impressive tracks that range from the honky tonk waltz "She'll Have You Back" to the album's 1st single, "Please Remember Me."

Everywhere may have continued Tim McGraw's streak of hit albums, but it also suggested that he was falling into a bit of a rut. That doesn't seem to have bothered McGraw, since Everywhere's sequel, A Place in the Sun, is much like its predecessor in its balance of polished ballads, country-pop and uptempo ravers, which are supposed to sound like honky-tonk but are closer to country-rock. Since he's a professional and works with professionals, A Place in the Sun sounds good and has a number of highlights, from ballads like "My Best Friend" and the Patty Loveless duet "Please Remember Me" to harder numbers like "Something Like That," "My Next Thirty Years" and "She'll Have You Back." The problem is, there's nothing new here -- not only is the music in the same vein as his previous efforts, it has nearly the same ratio of hits to misses. Since the moments that do work are very good, and since it is a stronger overall record than its predecessor, it will be worthwhile for fans, but it doesn't help erase the impression that McGraw won't deliver a truly satisfying album until a greatest-hits compilation comes along. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
