Edit

"Not A Moment Too Soon" was the record that launch Mr. McGraw's career and gave him a number one album. It soon went 5 times platium, and beat out strong competition for album on the year in 1994. The first single "Indian Outlaw" created a bit of a stir, and earned Tim many devoted fans who are still with him today. Following "Indian Outlaw" up the charts were, "Down on The Farm", "Refried Dreams," the title track "Not A Moment Too Soon," and the emotional "Don't Take The Girl." The album is not only carried by these singles, many of the unreleased cuts are great too, especially the third track "Any Other Way." For anyone who has not yet picked up this incredible album, I strongly recommend it.

I've written five reviews to this album, none have been posted by Amazon. Maybe Tim is one of their board members. Yet I'll try again to get the truth out.....

Tim McGraw should be walking intersections selling papers, changing oil at JiffyLube, or working at McDonald's. His singing is downright atrocious, how can a man be both feminine and whiny? After hearing the sappy 'Don't take the Girl' you want to wretch and wonder if his parents really wanted a girl. 'Indian Outlaw' comes off as silly, big tough guy right? A kindergardener could take Tim's milk money. 'Refried Dreams' who thought that up? 'Down on the Farm' of course is his reference to the common country folk. That poser's never been near a farm, or rode a horse in his life. Well maybe he does now to maintain his image, but he's just a poser. Like most sub-par country artists of today, he has to make reference to another country singer, in his case it's George Strait. Tim McGraw is not country and neither is his music. These days if you wear a cowboy hat, wear suits that Elvis would reject, and sing pop, they call you country. I can only hope that someday people will see Tim McGraw for what he is : a confused man who battles with his own sexuality.
