Synopsis

Amazon.com
Former Little Texas lead vocalist Tim Rushlow bases much of his first solo album on a lightweight, poppish sound not unlike that of his old band. To his credit producer David Malloy generally (though not always) plays to Rushlow's strong points. Easy rockers "The World Turns," "Crazy Life," "That's How It's Gonna Be," and "American Cars" have a festive, cotton-candy air undeniably aimed at radio. As such, they're pleasantly inoffensive if not memorable. When the mood turns romantic, things turn more uneven. "When You Love Me" and "Everything to You" are formulaic to a fault. "I Live" has nothing distinguishing it from every other overblown power ballad. Rushlow's strengths here lie elsewhere. His skills in conveying more somber, honest sentiments account for the best moments here. It shines through on the album's two most powerful moments: the vivid, moving "She Misses Him," a sensitive tale of love and courage in the face of Alzheimer's, and with "The Package," an affecting story of love after death. Those two numbers say more about Rushlow's real potential than any other songs on the album; he needn't limit himself to lighter fare. --Rich Kienzle

CD Reviews

This CD is fabulous!

"I was a big fan of Little Texas, and often wondered what happened to the guys when the group broke up. I am so glad to see Tim Rushlow back in country music. He is a tremendously talented singer/songwriter. Tim has the voice for a heart-wrenching ballad like "I Live" or a up-tempo song like "In the Meantime."This is an excellent CD, highlighted perhaps by the emotional first single, "She Misses Him." I lost my grandfather to Alzheimer's disease just a few years ago, and didn't fully consider what my grandmother had went through during this trying time. It is truly a wonderful song and someday I would like her to hear it.My advice to everyone is to go out and buy this CD. There is not one song on here that you'll skip over."
An excellent CD. Well worth the 16 bucks!

"I like this CD. I liked Tim Rushlow from his days when he was the lead singer for Little Texas. His debut disc is nothing less than spectacular. The best songs on this CD are "Then There's Me", "In The Meantime", "When You Love Me", "Everything To You", "I Live", "The World Turns", and "That's How It's Gonna Be". The two standouts on this record are "She Misses Him", a touching story about a couple who's love continues on in the face of Alzheimer's Disease, and "The Package", another in the long line of touching country love songs. This is the most traditional sounding song on this record. Overall, though it sounds more pop than country, this is an excellent record. Keep it going, Tim."
I love this Cd!!

"I was flipping through the radio when I heard "She Misses Him". I stoped my car and cried. It was the most MOVING song! Finally, after hearing WHO the artist was, I rushed out to buy the CD. "She Misses Him" will always make me cry, but "Everything to You" is my current favorite. It's the perfect song during the courtship of a new romance where you want to know everything!! Perfect!! My five year old LOVES "American Cars". I love all the songs, and "It's a Crazy Life" just makes me grin. Enjoy the cd!!!"
