Wea Tim McGraw And The Dancehall Doctors (2002)
Tim McGraw reaches back on Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors to a time-honoured, if now rare, country music with his road band (unlike his wife, Faith Hill, who gets slicker and more hermetically sealed on each album). Like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard before him, McGraw craved the artistic freedom and rawer sound he enjoyed with his road boys, and he was correct in thinking the Dancehall Doctors would leave their own honest stamp on the music, as well as a 1970s rock & roll feel. Retreating to a studio in upstate New York, they recorded 15 keepers. Only one, a cover of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer", lands with a thud, as McGraw tries to duplicate John's vocal nuances and never takes control of the song. But elsewhere, he and the band are surprisingly emotional, soulful and vulnerable. Together, they turn "Red Ragtop", a song about teen lovers who abort their child, into a universal lyric about choices and regrets, and fashion the two songs about revisiting the people and places that shape who you are ("Sing Me Home", "Home") into something profound. The album sags in spots, and McGraw and his coproducers misstep in adding faux R&B vocal washes here and there. But this is a good, solid effort. --Alanna Nash
