This is the second of Tim's albums and it is still one of my favouirites, even after 5 years. His first ever number 1, Dont Take The Girl, is sang to perfection and the lyrics, well you will have to buy it to find out but be prepared for the unexpected ending. Down On The Farm is a classic song, just simply about girls and boys gettin down on the farm that makes you wanna dance! Indian Outlaw makes me laugh with lyrics which include words such as "buffalo briefs! " Overall an excellent album and a must buy for all Tim fans!

After an unsuccessful debut of solidly traditional country music, Tim added a contemporary edge to his music for his second album (this one) although the overall sound is still fairly traditional. Tim's music became much more contemporary with subsequent albums, leaving the traditional stuff to Alan Jackson and others. But all that came later - this should please all but the die-hard traditionalists.
The song that gave Tim his breakthrough, Indian outlaw, is sometimes dismissed as a novelty song but it's great fun, if somewhat controversial (some say it's an insult to Native Americans).
The album opens with It don't get any countrier than this (actually about a woman), followed by Give it to me Strait, about drowning one's sorrows while playing a jukebox full of George Strait records - it mentions several song titles including Unwound, Fireman, Baby's getting good at goodbye and Fool hearted memory. These two songs should dispel any doubts about Tim's credentials as a country singer.
The rest of the album is in similar style. I particularly like Down on the farm (about having a good party), the title track (a superb ballad), Don't take the girl (a classic country ballad) and Refried dreams.
If you don't like traditional country music, you should give this a miss even if you like Tim's later music. Conversely, if you enjoy traditional country, don't ignore this just because Tim is the singer. It's a great album.

As a big Tim McGraw fan I have to say that this album for me is not one of his strongest. That said, I was never much of a Country music fan before I heard Tim's 'Set This Circus... Read more
