Live Like You Were Dying

Today was the release of Tim McGraw's new cd, Live Like You Were Dying. I am disappointed to say that I cannot really give this album a rave review. Perhaps I was expecting too much. I was hoping for a return to the greatness of Set This Circus Down, but there was no such return. Buyers do get their money's worth, though. There are 16 tracks on the cd. The title track is clearly the best song on the album, and it is worthy of its six week run atop the country charts. There are two or three others that are pretty catchy, but overall, it's a fairly blah album.

Of course, I am still waiting with baited breath for Tim's Roanoke show on September 11. No album could put a damper on my excitement for that concert.
