Disco de Tim McGraw: “Everywhere”

This CD is awesome!!!I fell in love with the album instantly. The songs are great, and Tim does a fantastic job on this album. There's a great mixture of upbeat and slow songs, and highlights include "Where The Green Grass Grows", "It's Your Love", "Everywhere", "Ain't That The Way" and "Just To See You Smile".This CD is a must-have, even for non-country music listeners.

One of country mucic's greatest at his best. "Everywhere" is a masterpiece of modern country music. Each song delivers everyday thoughts and feelings in a fresh and original package. The album showcases all of McGraw's talents, from the love ballad "It's Your Love", that will undoubtedly go down as one of country music's greatest love songs of all time, to the catchy and unforgettable "Where the Green Grass Grows," which really epitomizes what Tim McGraw is all about. He'll make you laugh in light-hearted, upbeat love songs "Hard on the Ticker", and "You Turn Me On", and he'll make you cry in the emotional and touching "One of these Days". And who could forget Billboard's country song of the year for 1998, "Just to See You Smile", which is one of the songs that got me past country music stereotypes and made McGraw my favorite artist. With 5 number 1 hits, and another that reached number 2, song of 1997 ("It's Your Love"), and song of 1998, it would have been a crime if McGraw didn't win the CMA album of the year last year. This is by far my favorite cd and a must-have for any true music fan, country or not.

Tim's career had built up momentum steadily. His first album made little impact. His second (Not a moment too soon) contained the single Indian outlaw. It sold extremely well and the next two albums (All I want) consolidated Tim's growing reputation. This album was something else again, propelling Tim's career to even greater heights. Tim began as a traditional country singer but by the time this album came along, he had moved firmly into the contemporary country music scene. You can't blame him as his debut album (a very traditional album) flopped. On the other hand, Tim's voice is country to the core so even when the backing is contemporary as on this album, there is still something of a country feel to the sound.

The album contains plenty of country hits including the title track, Where the green grass grows, For a little while, It's your love (with Faith Hill, otherwise known as Mrs McGraw) and Just to see you smile. As befitting a man at a blissfully happy time of life whose marriage was still fresh and exciting, the album is full of songs about the joys of life, particularly love. Among the tracks not already mentioned, I particularly like Hard on the ticker and I do but I don't.

This album is a masterpiece if contemporary country. Tim has had plenty of success with subsequent albums but I'll be surprised if he ever again matches the sheer brilliance of this album.

Tim McGraw's album Everywhere is excellent all around. "It's Your Love", Tim's duet with his wife, Faith Hill, is an awesome song. However, every other song on this record is worth listening to, not just once, but lots of times. Besides "It's Your Love", the record also produced five other hit songs--the reflective title song "Everywhere", the smooth ballad "One Of These Days", the flowing song "Just To See You Smile", and the fun, solidly upbeat songs "Where The Green Grass Grows" and "For A Little While". Other noteworthy songs on Everywhere are "I Do But I Don't", "Ain't That The Way It Always Ends" and "You Just Get Better All The Time".

When it was released in '97, Everywhere established Tim McGraw as a serious country artist. He had some fun on this record, but I think he stopped being pigeonholed as merely a novelty-song artist(per his early hits "Indian Outlaw" and "I Like It, I Love It"). The songs on Everywhere are well-done, and there isn't a song on this record that I'm not pleased with. Tim got several awards for this album. I think he deserves them.

I really wanted to rate this CD 10 stars...but of course you can't. I have lived One of these Days, and Everywhere. Just like all the other reviews, I believe this is THE best CD I own, and that includes all my Garth Brooks. And Tim,if you ever read this, just keep them coming, and we will keep buying. One last thing...thank you for thanking God for your gift...takes real talent to know where it comes from.
