Music reviews of Little Bit of Life
Music Review: Here and There : An Average Country Album
Rating: 3 Stars
I got this album at the same time as Josh Turner's "Everything is Fine" and listened to just these two albums almost exclusively for a week. Months later, I must say that Turner's album has more staying power and far more memorable tunes. That should do nothing to take away from the niceness of this record though - because its quite a solid country album. Yes, it did end up underperforming on the charts, but every song here has some degree of single potential, and it's a pity this wasn't marketed more aggressively.
Craig Morgan is the kind of country singer that seems so honest, down to earth, and all-round nice guy, that its difficult to find one thing that's wrong with him or his consistent meat-and-potatoes music. My only concern is that he's way too bland. On "Little Bit of Life" and its' stellar title track (which incidentally is the best song on the album), Craig plays his role exactly as we'd imagine it - an earthy farmer with a devoted family, etc, but the record still lacks an overall personality or one killer track that could make it stand out.
"International Harvester" is the song the album is known for, but the lyrics on some other tracks are quite arresting. Of special note is that wondrous song "The Ballad of Mr Jenkins", as well as the poignant album closer "Look at `Em Fly". Craig's voice is somewhere between Tim McGraw and Randy Travis, and when he sings deep it really befits him. But really, the fact remains that despite this album being good, it isn't as great as it could've been. With performers like Josh Turner around, albums like this only seem weak and lifeless in comparison.
Still, a solid release from Morgan, and a great record for a road trip. Three Stars.
Description of Little Bit of Life
Craig Morgan - Little Bit Of Life. When you look at the Country Music world it is made up of a lot of different types of people but there is no question that Craig Morgan is Country! Craig lives a country lifestyle, he is a dedicated family man with 4 children, a former Army Ranger and an avid outdoorsman. He drives Ford trucks has 4 dogs and his favorite album of all time is John Conlee's Greatest Hits. This new album reflects his passion for a country life. In concert and on his CD's Craig is able to express his emotions and reverence for that life and his fans love that about him. 2005 was a very busy year for Craig Morgan. The release of My Kind Of Livin' marked his 3rd album release. The 1st single from that album " "That's What I Love About Sunday" served notice to Country fans, radio and retail that this was the beginning of something very special. "Sunday" went on to the #1 position at radio and held that spot for 5 consecutive weeks and ended the year as the MOST PLAYED single of the year. The follow-up single "Redneck Yacht Club" continued that pattern and made its way to the #1 position as well. Craig Morgan was one of only 3 artists to have back to back #1 singles during the year and to top it all off Craig was nominated for an ACM award in the Top New Male Vocalist category. Not bad for a kid from Kingston Springs, TN.Since Craig Morgan continues to belabor the fact that he's just a regular guy, it should come as no surprise that his fourth album is nothing special. Morgan's voice is pretty ordinary, and the material leaves no country cliché unturned. If he is what he sings, Morgan is a small-town, tractor-driving, church-going, beer-drinking ("now and then"), family-loving, flag-waving, one-woman Southern man. He is, as he sings in "I Am," "just like you, baseball, and apple pie." He's also a guy whose conception of "Sweet Old Fashion Goodness" doesn't preclude an occasional "little bit of yeehaw in the hay," as he sings in the title track. Ballads bring out the best in Morgan, but he has to learn to distinguish between the disarmingly tender ("Tough") and the hokey ("The Ballad of Mr. Jenkins"). --Don McLeese
