Amazon.com essential recording
The party-hearty raucousness of "I Like It, I Love It" seems like a lifetime ago for Tim McGraw, whose fifth album strikes a more reflective chord. Whether ruminating on how it felt to be "Seventeen," making resolutions for "My Next Thirty Years," or probing the depths of Rodney Crowell's "Please Remember Me," his music shows the effects of marriage and maturity. Even the drinking songs, "Senorita Margarita" and "She'll Have You Back," share an older-but-wiser sentiment. While there are no duets with wife Faith Hill, her presence is evident on "My Best Friend" and "Some Things Never Change." McGraw wrote none of the songs here, but his emotional investment in the material results in an engaging collection. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews

One of the best of Tim's but NO booklet
Tim's great at handling both typical country and country romance. This CD includes such hits as "My Best Friend", "Some Things Never Change", and two super-good songs - "My Next Thirty Years", and "Please Remember Me".

Though the CD is not marked as any re-release it unfortunately comes without a booklet. The two pages of paper include only the list of songs and musicians. This is sad: I've thought only Kenny Chesney likes to fool fans with lyrics-free booklets.

Tim Mcgraw's BEST album
5 starts all the way, I think it's Tim Mcgraw's best album of all time!

A Heartfelt Masterpiece from Country's Greatest Songman
Arguably Tim McGraw's best album to date (arguably because each one is so stellar-each album from Everywhere forward are neck and neck, albeit each excel in certain areas), a Place in the Sun finds country's greatest ear picking songs at a time he was newly in love and experiencing his greatest success to date.

This album is anchored by a number of outstanding selections (including Carry On, Somebody Must Be Prayin, You Don't Love Me Anymore, My Best Friend), however the album is made by the inclusion of Please Remember Me.

Please Remember Me is, simply, one of the greatest recordings ever made. Counted as one of the greatest 100 country songs ever written, the songs writers were country legend Rodney Crowell and Will Jennings (who wrote My Heart Will Go On for Titanic and Celine Dion). Tims performance manages to express the seemingly opposite emotions of love, forgivness, loss, and hope all at once. This combined with some of the most memorable and touching lyrics I can recall ("the days keep coming without fail" is the most concise expression of how hard it is to go on without someone you love I have ever heard) make it a song for the ages and my all time favorite song.

McGraws strength (no one is better at it) has always been his ability not only to choose great songs, but choose songs he has not written and make them his own so much that its impossible to tell he did not write them. A Place in the Sun excels in this in some way you can't quite put your finger on...for some reason you FEEL the songs just a little bit more than on any of his other albums.

Whatever it is, A Place in the Sun, like most albums, is a moment captured in time and after 6 years of listening it makes sense that, of all the great albums Tim has put out, this is the one that won CMA Album of the Year-this moment was a particularly special one.
