Damn country music

" ... at his core, McGraw is a soft touch, easily adapting to the shifts in time without ever seeming like he's following fashion. So it is with Damn Country Music, where he spends as much time singing over gently rolling electronic loops as he does over cavernous echoing guitars suggesting so much as prime U2 ... What's remarkable about this exceedingly laid-back album is that while it clearly exists within the confines of mature, modern country-pop, never pandering to either the bro upstarts or a crossover audience, it still feels country, because it feels true to McGraw's roots".

"There's quality songcraft here, to be sure - see the title track, a convincing tale of a honky-tonk man led astray by music, which has more than a whiff of memoir. Otherwise, though, it's undistinguished radio fodder".
