GREATEST HITS 2 SHOWS TIMS TRUE TALENT!
This album is brilliantly put together and flows from one song to next without a glitz. It is easy listening with beautiful melodies and smartly written lyrics. And Tim McGraw as a storyteller makes you believe every word he sings.
There is plenty highlights and different levels to this MUST HAVE album for any country music fan. It includes totally different strong and powerful hit WHEN THE STARS GO BLUE which is most talented vocal in Tims part on my mind. It takes you few listenings to grasp all the high notes Tim perfects without a sweat.
Album starts with a bang by LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING which is a very personal song for Tim McGraw being a tribute to his father Tug McGraw. Tim looks absolutely eatable in his white suit on a video..
Cross over hit OVER AND OVER with rapper Nelly does not sound at all out of place and shows how easily Tim McGraw adapts to any music style.
Megahit LIKE WE NEVER LOVED AT ALL with his wife Faith Hill is one of the best duets I've ever heard. Their voices compliment each other perfectly and you can feel the compassion and love they must have for each other.
Older chart topper REAL GOOD MAN shows Tims playful not so grown-up side, the words "I might be a real bad boy but I am still a Real Good man" are what Tim McGraw presents to me. He shows that you can be happily married and a father and still little flirty at times and most of all totally SEXY without being too self centered.
Slow flowing ballad MY LITTLE GIRL from movie
Flicka is on top of the CMT charts while I am writing this. The fact that Tim is himself a father to beautiful daughters shines through with great emotions this song creates and shows between a father and daughter.
Album ends with another solid slow tempo ballad I'VE GOT FRIENDS THAT DO which is a fitting ending and bonus to this powerful album.
Album is filled with slower and not quite traditional country songs with catchy words that are easy to remember and humm along. It is in my A-list of most listened CDs on my car.
Tim McGraws Greatest Hits volume 2 was released in March 2006. It climbed up to #2 spot in the Billboard Charts in April 2006.
Tims highly anticipated newest album is due to get released in March 2007.
