Amazon.com It's best to think of McGraw as the Paul Revere of modern country music: dumb, derivative and too much fun to be easily dismissed. Just as the Raiders made up for their lack of sophistication with an overabundance of enthusiasm, McGraw's attractive tenor and unerring commercial instincts transform tearjerkers like "Don't Take the Girl" and "Wouldn't Want It Any Other Way" and novelty numbers like "Indian Outlaw" and "It Doesn't Get Any Countrier Than This" into hard-to-resist, low-brow entertainment. --Geoffrey Himes

Not A Moment Too Soon... December 12, 1999 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
"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.
Tim McGraw, the no talent bum selling records to sheep. September 12, 2000 4 out of 17 found this review helpful
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.
Not A Moment Too Soon October 20, 2001 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
With his high lonesome yodel, and jacked-up honky tonk groove, singer Tim McGraw is the latest in a new generation of country heartthrobs to capture the imagination of today's young country fans. From the opening notes of "It Doesn't Get Any Countrier Than This"--with its skinny dipping, roll in the hay, crank my tractor sexual imagery--NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON showcases McGraw's drawlin' good time delivery on a section of party-hearty arrangements.The key element in young McGraw's appealing country synthesis is the persistent undercurrent of chicken-fried rock'n'roll in the mix, as on the bluesy "40 Days And 40 Nights" and the pulsating "Ain't That Just Like A Dream," with its big, ringing arena gestures (descended from bands the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd). Not that McGraw can't get next to a ballad, as he demonstrates on the steel-guitar inflected "Wouldn't Want It Any Other Way" and the nostalgic "Don't Take The Girl." But it's the hard-charging, dancing "turbo tonk" of tunes like his big hit "Indian Outlaw"--with its shifting tom-tom groove, shuffling blues jig and fiddling square dance breaks--that best captures the rowdy spirit and rough-and-ready delivery of Tim McGraw. Daddy Tug McGraw must be proud.
A Timeless Country CD October 24, 1999 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this album because of the famed and classic song "Don't Take The Girl". This song will bring tears to anyone's eyes, and is an unforgettable song. But it isn't the only song on the album. Once I heard the entire thing, I quickly realized why it won Album of the Year. "Indian Outlaw" is one of the cathiest and original songs you'll ever hear and "Not A Moment Too Soon" is an absolutely beautiful love ballad. "Down On The Farm" is the ultimate rural party anthem and "Refried Dreams" is a real fun song. And the album cuts are great for people who love honky tonk, neo-classic country. With 5 million albums already sold, it is just a must have for any country music fan.
Sorry, Scott W. Floyd...but this is pure-bred country. March 9, 2001 2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Tim uses down-home, "this is who I am" lyrics to make this album as country as it gets. It's great from start to finish, illustrating Tim's roots and character - a very complete album. It doesn't get much more from-the-heart than "Don't Take the Girl." And "Down on the Farm"...hey, that's country reality, man. I'll never tire of "Indian Outlaw," I can't help stompin' my foot when I hear it. You really can't go wrong with Tim McGraw. He knows what he's talking about and let's you know he means it. F.Y.I., Scott- Tim was born and raised just a few miles from my home in a little blue-collar farm town with a decent population of resident horses. I'd wager he's ridden one or two of 'em. Tim a "poser"? Yeah, probably not. "It don't get any countrier than this!" (and he's got the record sales to prove it.)
