Steve Hugely repetitious. Shine on, shine on, shine on, shine on…over and over. These guys have sold quite well and were doing so before they go much airplay, so we can assume there’s a lot of fan buzz, Facebook likes and all that. Friends telling friends about them and that’s the best publicity any artist can … Read more
Lemme look now…yes, I added this to the Edge/Album cut list seventeen months ago, August of ’11. Considering how long it’s been since the album was released, I am truly surprised that it became a single. Surprised, and then maybe not so much. This is a gorgeous piece of work.

Not hearing the magic here. Vocals are excellent, as expected. The delivery is rather wrought, which usually ain’t the best idea for Country songs. Rascal Flatts pulls it off regularly, of course. But there’s a reason there’s only one’a them.
Sorry to say this doesn’t do much for me. Not so far, anyway and I’m near 10 listens in. Nothing unique about it, just a generic sounding piece of music. There’s no immediate hook here.
It’s billed as a Tim McGraw single by his old label, but he’s only the background singer here; it’s a Colt Ford record. Now there is a reason why there’s never been a flat-out rap hit on Country radio. We are a white ethnic format; rap is a black ethnic archetype. White kids like rap; … Read more
There were a couple or three other tracks that hit me harder when I was tracking the album after it’s release and I didn’t pay this one much mind. Now that it is a single, I fully understand why. It’s a very sweet love song.
