tim mcgraw never has lacked ambition, as illustrated by the country star's film acting and self named cologne. that abition comes across most clearly in his music. on "emotional traffic" is 11th studio album, mcgraw continues to expand country music's boundaries. that's why, 20 years into his career, his music still sounds so fresh, even though a legal dispute with label curb records delayed the release of these songs, recorded in 2010. but there's no dust on these tracks, as mcgraw and longtime producer byron gallimore create a sound marinated in modern rock yet crisp with catchy melodies and real life, country music themes. mcgraw's range shows on the album's first two hits. "felt good on my lips"-also released against the singer's wishes as a bonus track on last year's two cd curb compilation "number one hits" is buoyed by an infectious chorus and dynamic musical twists. meanwhile, the thoughtful ballad, "better than i used to be" finds a man pressing to become more responsible. it starts with quiet piano, then builds to a crescendo that underscores the emotion of the lyrics. mcgraw's progressive artistry also comes through on "only human" a duet with sweet voiced r&b singer ne-yo, and the cover of "one part, two part." "emotional traffic" may contain two year old recordings, but for mcgraw's fans, it will shine like tomorrow's sunshine. a great cd worth picking up.Read full review
