Retro Single Review: Tim McGraw, "Angry All the Time"

I will append a “-” onto the grade as a means of acknowledging the fact that the Bruce Robison original is overall superior. That said, Tim McGraw’s hit recording of “Angry All the Time” is an excellent record in its own right.

I’m sure there are relatively few artists who would have listened to Bruce Robison’s noncharting self-written 1998 single “Angry All the Time” and thought, ‘Hey, that sounds like a hit!’ But “Angry All the Time” was a classic instance of McGraw finding a hit in the most unlikely of places, and thus giving mass exposure to what was already an achingly beautiful, yet underrated composition.

Today, I’m bringing back an old Country Universe favorite: Recommend a Track.

We all like to play armchair record executive. So I’m asking readers to share what they think should be the next single from a current country album.

My Pick: Carrie Underwood, “Do You Think About Me”
