John Michael Montgomery Album: “Time Flies”

To all the JMM fans, as always he never lets us down. It's been a long while since we've last seen John Michael on the radio or in country music society. Well he's back and jumping in with both feet. He's got some great ballad's like, "If you ever went away" and "Forever" that will just tear your heart to shreds. Then there's always his silly side coming through with "Mad Cowboy Disease". This one is a GRAND SLAM!!

It has been a couple CDs ago that John has been able to make me both laugh and cry on the same Album. This is a wonderful masterpiece of work. If you remember John from his earlier works you will surely love this CD. I can't quit listening to it. This is John's first work from his own New Label "Stringtown Records". I believe that is why this Album is so good. John was able to go back to the earlier "classic" John Michael to when he was able to call his own shots. Back then Nashville came to him begging to sign him to a deal so he was able to call the shots on what he recorded. Several injuries sidelined him and younger talent came along..so you know how that goes? But now John Michael is back stronger and more eager than ever to put out music he knows his fans love!

After a short absence to get his personal life together, JMM is back. And is he EVER back. I have liked JMM for a very long time, but I can say without a doubt that this new album of his is, in my opinion, his best work ever. "If you ever went away" is, of course, a blockbuster of a song. Fantastic. But the sleeper on the album is the haunting "Fly On", which features a truly wonderful arrangement, and some stunning vocals, that few artists besides JMM could have pulled off. I would HIGHLY recommend this album!

All the best.

I don't even know what to say, I am still in shock that this album is so sub-par compared to his others.......it's awful........he's no longer one of the kings of country........his time is about done;-(
