Breakthrough album silent fairly traditional

After on 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 fairly quiet 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 did 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 do not 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 similar in style. I particularly like Down On The Farm (about having a good party), the title track (a superb ballad) Do not take the girl (a classic country ballad) and Refried Dreams.
If you do not like traditional country music, You Should Give this a miss even if you like Tim's later music. Conversely, if you enjoy traditional country, do not ignore this Just Because Tim is the singer. It's a great album.
