It's Tim. Who needs to say more? Love him!!!!!!. How could it be anything but wonderful! He has such feeling in his singing.
Third album consolidated Tim's career
His second, rooted in tradition but with a contemporary edge, gave him his breakthrough with Indian outlaw. Tim's first album, a solidly traditional country album, was a flop. This album built upon that success and had more of a contemporary sound though it should still appeal to many traditional country fans, though Tim's fourth album (Everywhere, the album that firmly established Tim as a major country star) has much more of a contemporary feel to it.
Tim's voice, a sort of cross between John Anderson and Kenny Rogers, may not appeal to everybody (whether set to contemporary or traditional backing) but I love it. There are many wonderful songs, both ballads and up-tempo. The most instantly memorable song her is the catchy, upbeat song, I like it I love it, while other great songs include All I want is a life and She never lets it get to her heart. Other highlights include I didn't ask and she didn't say, The great divide and Don't mention Memphis.
For those fans that like their country music to at least have some connection with tradition, this may be the last of Tim's albums that they can enjoy. I also like some of his later albums (especially Everywhere) but this is a very enjoyable album.
All-around Good CD
Though not every song became a hit, they're all easy to listen to, none that I skip over in my CD player. Though this CD is one of McGraw's older CDs, it is probably the CD of his I listen to most often. The first four songs really set up the whole album-- All I Want is a Life, She Never Lets it Go to Her Heart, Can't Be Really Gone, and Maybe We Should Just Sleep on it. One song that most everybody recognizes is the hit "I Like it, I love It". I suggest this CD for any country fan's collection.
Real good CD
I bought it cause it was pretty cheap and I like Tim McGraw. This is a real good CD. I knew that a couple of the songs were good, but when I listened to it I was amazed at how many good songs are on this CD. I listened to this CD all the time back home. I plan on listening to it when I get back too.
Great album from Tim
Some really memorable singles came from this album, including the title track, the moving ballad "Can't Be Really Gone", the uptempo country flavored "I Like It, I Love It", and my personal favorite "Maybe We Should Just Sleep On It". Tim McGraw's third album, ALL I WANT, is often forgotten especially in light of more popular ones, but it's a great album start to finish. This album definately continued the trend of his previous NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON in spinning off hit singles from each album, making him the superstar he is today. Other highlights among this albums songs include the rowdy "Renegade" and the ballad "She Never Lets It Go To Her Heart". Don't miss this one!.
