<p>Recorded at Oceanway Studios, Nashville, Tennessee.
<p>Clint Black burst on the country scene in 1989 as a young buck with his own slant on country, but the rock and pop influence on country music throughout the '90s sees Black looking more than ever like a traditionalist with SPEND MY TIME. Black has never really hearkened back to the days of classic honky-tonk, but the lack of overblown pop production or rocked-up arrangements here makes this album all the more welcome in a sea of country crossovers. Not that there's no stylistic wandering here--"What Ever Happened" bears a distinctly Al Green-ish soul lilt, "We All Fall Down" reveals echoes of the Band, and the simmering, funky "Haywire" is a six-minute, wordy expression of down-home angst that could have come off a contemporaneous Rodney Crowell album. Nevertheless, contemporary country balladry delivered with a romantic-but-careful croon is still Black's stock in trade, and that's what makes up the bulk of this classy album.

- Welcome back Clint!
It seems like forever since we heard anything from Clint Black, was it worth the wait? Boy was it! This is one of the best CD's we've gotten from him. Spend My Time is great, the upbeat tune of "The Boogie Man" is awesome, I can't recommend this CD enough to country music fans. Análisis de usuario - 04 Marzo 2004

- Very impressive return
I have to say that after 4 years, Clint Black sounds like he is refreshed as he has written and produced some of the best material I have heard from him as of late. There's not a bad track on this disc and each can stand on its own merit. I'm glad to see that he's back and hopefully this will put him back and keep him on the charts where he belongs. 3 personas de un total de 3 encontraron útil la siguiente opinión:

I may be off, but it seems like Clint Black challenges himself to overcome the natural apathy an artist can take when they've proven themselves, their style has gone out, and the creative well has run dry. After a long stretch of time off, he produced "Nothing But the Tail Lights" - in my opinion, his best piece of musical work in his career - along with one of the best love songs of his career "Something That We Do". Clint has proven again that taking 4 years off can work if the songs are right.
Don't be fooled by the weak new material on Greatest Hits 2 or "D'lectrified" - "Spend My Time" is Clint's best work since "Tail lights". I honestly get the feeling he put experimental music and fillers on those projects and saved his best for this project.
This time, it appears, he challenges himself vocally and lyrically. The reflective title track is one of Clint's pieces of work in years, while "My Imagination" and "Just Like You and Me" are solid ballads, and "A Mind To" and "A Lover's Clown" are some of the best written pieces he's ever penned. The project is solid track for track.
Clint Black is a true artist in every sense of the word. Got to hand it to the man - to write, sing, and produce great music is a rare rare commodity in music of any genre, especially Nashville. Hopefully newer artists will take learn from a man who has been able to stretch a career of great work over 3 decades.

- Great Voice, Excellent Instrumentals
I purchased this album the summer after it was released (more than a year ago), and it still remains one of my favorites. To be honest, I didn't really know much about Clint Black before I got it, but I have since purchased every one of his CDs and now consider him my favorite male artist. His vocals are always superb, with this album containing some of his most powerful work to date. The Songs "My Imagination", "She's Leaving", "Just Like You and Me", and "Someone Else's Tears" are very strong and filled with pure, believable emotion. In addition to these slower songs, there are some fun up-tempo pieces, including "Everything I Need" and "The Boogie Man". Black's excellent harmonica skills take a prominent role in the latter, as well as in "We All Fall Down". With all that said, this album is a bit pop-ish, but it still contains enough solid country qualities to make it an excellent addition to my collection. I highly recommend it! |
