    Freight Train, Alan Jackson’s 16th album, has none of the momentum of a locomotive but all of the reassuring sturdiness of a hulking piece of steel: this is music built for distance, not speed.
  2. The New York Times

    The magic in his stoicism is gone too: Freight Train is filled with songs that are mature but not wise.
  3. Hot Press

    Solid outing from country veteran.

    It's far from hip, but unfairly dimissed. [Jun 2010, p.91]

    Buoyantly produced, it finds the singer leaning a little too comfortably on the conversational Georgia drawl of his baritone, and the writer coming up a little shy on the sort of detail and wordplay that lifts a cliche.
