    The production team of Tim and Byron Gallimore have struck country music pay dirt with this incredible collection that balances contemporary and traditional styles with amazing subtlety, all without making Tim sound as if he’s trying to keep up with the younger stars--indeed, with Damn Country Music, he’s in the passing lane.

    While he’s not taking risks--even a duet with daughter Gracie is a lovely echo of his classic songs with wife Faith Hill--these tunes are as comfy as a pair of worn Lucchese boots.

    Even during his '90s heyday, he looked over his shoulder while living in the present, happily threading in trends while seeming impervious to them. This skill is difficult to acquire but Damn Country Music, like so many other Tim McGraw albums, makes it seem as simple as breathing.

    There's quality songcraft here, to be sure--see the title track, a convincing tale of a honky-tonk man led astray by music, which has more than a whiff of memoir. Otherwise, though, it's undistinguished radio fodder.
