Reviews

More of a happy-go-lucky artist in his younger days, Tim McGraw here sounds as if he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. After the comparatively lighthearted, irresistibly catchy opening single, "Last Dollar (Fly Away)," most of the midtempo material that follows ranges from the somber to the morose. There's the night-shift weariness of "I'm Workin'," the alcohol-drenched heartbreak of "Whiskey and You," and the soul-tortured title track. Even a song with the upbeat title "Put Your Lovin' on Me" has McGraw asking his lover to "be my drug" and "take this weight off me." Things turn positively lethal with "Between the River and Me," the story of revenge on an alcoholic, wife-beating stepfather. The set also features the obligatory duet of marital devotion with Faith Hill ("I Need You") and a couple of nods toward classic country ("Kristofferson" and the closing "Shotgun Rider," which could be McGraw's "Mamas, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys"). "Nothin' to Die For" returns to the inspirational vein of "Live Like You Were Dying," but little here finds McGraw in a feel-good mode. ~Don McLeese, Amazon.com

"Last Dollar (Fly Away)" introduces Let It Go with an amorous chorus that includes a choir of singing children at the end. "I'm Workin'" is an ode to the working man, right down to the lyric about drinking a cup of 7-11 coffee (which may be hard to swallow if you consider that McGraw has just a bit more money than the average working man). In "Kristofferson," McGraw aspires to serenade his woman like Kris. "I Need You" is a slow-dancing duet with wife Faith Hill that celebrates codependency with weird metaphors such as "Like a needle needs a vein." ~Eric Shea, rhapsody.com
