Synopsis

Amazon.com

In his best moments on Steam, his fourth album, Alabama-raised country singer Ty Herndon powerfully conveys both frank sensuality and earnest soul-searching. In the sensuality department, Herndon serves up unbridled passion on the title tune, as he does on Randy Newman's high-energy, playfully naughty "You Can Leave Your Hat On." By contrast, on "Lookin' for the Good life" he draws a painfully honest portrait of spiritual poverty amid material plenty. "Pray for Me" is a similarly powerful, meditative statement about finding Christian strength through humility and compassion. Only now and then--on "In a New York Second" and "A Love Like That"--does Herndon succumb wholeheartedly to his chronic Achilles' heel: a weakness for musical bombast and bleating earnestness reminiscent of Michael Bolton or Garth Brooks at their most wretched and excessive. When this happens, the end result is overproduced, overperformed power-country pop ditties that are mostly glitz and smoke but little substance. --Bob Allen

CD Reviews

Ty keeps up the good work.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"On this CD "STEAM" Ty proves that he is still out there and doing better than ever. The songs on this album are amazing and you just don't want to turn them off. His most amazing song is, "No Mercy". This song really sticks out from the rest of the songs on this CD. Although, they are all good, this is my pick on the album. Ty put a lot of hard work and dedication behind this CD for his fans. This is definetly a CD that you want to put in your shopping cart."

Ty keeps you kicking your boots up song after song!

"Quality output song after song. The title song sets the pace for the CD - slow and vibrating. Definitely a CD you'd put in the disk for long hauls cuz short hauls would only leave you wanting to sit in the truck. Like his other CDs STEAM sets the country soul singing. You'll find yourself dancing in the grocery store."

Enjoyable

"I enjoyed this CD, as I enjoy all of Ty's CDs. I own all 4 of his albums. I bought this one for two reasons: (1) To add to my collection of his albums and (2) Because I fell in love with the song No Mercy. That's my favorite song on the whole CD. The only track I really didn't like was You Can Leave Your Hat On. True, this CD isn't quite as country sounding as some of Ty's previous works. It lies on the boundary of pop. Without a doubt, "Steam" is a crossover album. But it's good nonetheless."
