Single Review: Tim McGraw, “Thought About You”

March 25, 2019 Kevin John Coyne 5

Tim McGraw has a lot of thoughts to share, but are any of them worth listening to?

Single Review: Blake Shelton, “Every Time I Hear That Song”

February 15, 2017 Kevin John Coyne 5

It’s all drum machines and processed vocals and synthesizer sounds.

Single Review: Jason Aldean, “Lights Come On”

July 11, 2016 Kevin John Coyne 5

Perhaps this is a song best heard in its proper context.

Single Review: Michael Ray, “Real Men Love Jesus”

August 31, 2015 Jonathan Keefe 33

Its title is lifted from a bumper sticker, and the song itself offers just as much depth.

Single Review: Toby Keith, “Red Solo Cup”

November 13, 2011 Kevin John Coyne 18

This is either satire at its most transcendent and brilliant, or a sign of the impending apocalypse.

Maybe both.
