 Don't let it go... Mar 27, 2007
By DanD
With his last two albums, Tim McGraw has been crafting the best music of his career. Gone is the "Indian Outlaw," the guy "likes it, loves it, and wants some more of it." Here is a McGraw who knows a good lyric when he hears it, who knows how to choose a song. He manages to make un-commercial material radio-ready, to take a song and make it his own.
On LET IT GO, he does it yet again. The album isn't quite as edgy as its two predecessors, but what it lacks in edginess, it makes up for in lyric and performance. One of McGraw's best qualities is his ability to take other artists' material and transform it into his own stuff; he does so here with Big Kenny's "Last Dollar," Lori McKenna's "I'm Workin'," Eddie Rabbit's "Suspicions," Anthony Smith's "Kristofferson" and "Shotgun Rider" (also co-written by Sherrie Austin and Jeffrey Steele), and the ever-reliable Warren Brothers' "Between the River and Me" and "Train #10" (the latter a co-write with McGraw).
There's not a song on here that lags too far behind...all of 'em (including the duet with Faith Hill, "I Need You") are high-caliber songs, performed wonderfully by McGraw and his band. However, if you want some highlites, I'd have to go with the stone-cold country of "Kristofferson" (an off-handed tribute song that, strangely, works) and "Shotgun Rider"; the exquisite "Whiskey and You;" the whimsical "Last Dollar"; and the revenge rocker "Between the River and Me" (McGraw's version is indeed noteworthy, but pales next to the original found on the Warren Brothers' WELL-DESERVED OBSCURITY album). Basically, it's hard to go wrong with this album, which may indeed be one of the best of McGraw's career. It's a thinking-man's commerical country album, bridging the gap between radio and alternative...and nobody does that better today than Tim McGraw.

GO GET LET IT GO Mar 27, 2007
By Alan Dorfman
Tim McGraw didn't get to be a country superstar by having the best voice in Nashville. He did it by having the best ear in town. Every Tim McGraw CD has been marked by the impeccable selection of songs. And "Let Go" continues the family tradition. It's another collection of powerful songs including "Train No. 10," "Shotgun Rider," "Put Your Lovin' On Me" and "Comin' Home." These alone would be enough to make this CD a success but wouldn't earn it 5 Stars. For that you need a little bit more and different.
And Tim gives us the extra effort with a kids' chorus on "Last Dollar," a Metallica-like break on the brilliant "Between The River And Me" and by overturning our expectations of the usual duet with Mrs. McGraw by not giving us another syrupy love song but by choosing a meditation on the addictive nature of love, "I Need You" (I need you like a needle needs a vein) in which even Faith sings with a desperate gravitas we don't expect from her.
Now don't think my saying Tim doesn't have the best voice in Nashville means he isn't a masterful singer, able to comfortably handle anything from the uptempo cowboy songs to the agonizingly honest ballads like this CD's brilliant "Nothing To Die For." As his songs show more maturity so do his vocals. He is no longer just a singer but a first class interpreter. His vocals take these high quality songs and elevates them further. He has handled the jump from superstar to artist with complete success. His creative vision and ability to wonderfully convey it is a rarity in music, especially country music with its pretty boys in hats and Shania wannabes.
The new Tim McGraw CD is a complete success that doesn't let it go after the music stops. It stays with you and leaves you wanting more.

 Good...but ,in need of more up-tempo tunes Oct 01, 2007
By S. Smith
"Burgerman"
I have every one of McGraw's CD's, and I always look forward to his new releases. I am sorry to say that on first listen, this CD was a bit disappointing. The message of many of the songs is just too heavy. Where is the fun? Where is the lighheartedness? "Last Dollar" is the most up-tempo song on the CD, and unfortunately, it does not measure up to past favorites like , "I Like It,I Love It" "Something Like That," Real Good Man," "Down on the Farm," or "Do You Want Frries With That."
Tim McGraw can do great with a tear jerker, like "Please Remember Me" and "Live Like You Were Dying," but none of the songs on this CD quite grab hold of me like those monster hits. Even his duet with Faith Hill is weak-- they never actually sing together on the song, they just take turns singing solos to each other.
The best tracks on the CD are "Let It Go," a powerful song with a great message and a catchy, repetitious chorus. And "Between the River and Me" is a great story song that you feel just a bit guilty for liking, given the subject matter and the message. He sings it with such intensity that it is frighteningly believable!
Most of his recent hits have been really slow, moving songs-- "If You're Reading This," "I Need You", "My Little Girl", "Like We Never Loved At All," "When the Stars Go Blue," "My Old Friend," "Drugs or Jesus." Even "Over and Over" with Nelly was rather mellow.
Enough already! You're great with the love songs, the sad songs, and the meaningful message songs. But c'mon! It's time to cut loose and have some fun! We want to stomp our feet and clap our hands!

If You're a McGraw Fan, You Will Enjoy "Let it Go." Jun 17, 2007
By Matt
"Let it Go" is a solid McGraw CD. It may not be the best CD of his but certainely one you will be glad you have in your collection. My favorite songs on the CD are: Last Dollar, Suspicions, Train #10, Between the River and Me, Comin' Home, and Shotgun Rider. These could all easily be singles in the future. The first part of the CD the songs, other than Last Dollar, all sound similar. That's one reason I enjoy all the songs on the second half so much better. I am getting sick of his duets with Faith. She's got a great voice, but she's not a favorite of mine. There is speculation that 07 will be the last time Tim and Faith will tour together. Thank god for that. Overall this CD is worth a four star rating. It would have been five but too many just so-so songs. I do think it's better than "Live Like You Were Dying." I don't know why people feel that is such a great CD. It has an awful depressing feel to it. The only songs I like on that CD are "My Old Friend" and "Back When." "Let it Go," in my humble opinion, is much better.

Very Good For Most, Average For Tim Jun 03, 2007
By Happy Chappy
"An Avid Reader."
There are several gems on Tim McGraw's new Let It Go. My personal favorites are Suspicions and Shotgun Rider. There are several other solid songs on this CD. The trouble with rating a Tim McGraw CD is that you have to hold it up against the rest of his collection. This one falls into the middle of the pack, which will leave many fans disappointed. I have grown to appreciate the CD more after repeated listenings. I think the professional reviewer got it right when describing Shotgun Rider as McGraw's Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys. I thought the same thing when I first heard the song. It is a solid Country song that would be good in the 70's, 80's 90's, and into this decade.
The duet with Faith Hill is pretty good, I just am having trouble getting over the "like a needle needs a vein" verse.
This is a solid, but not spectacular album, that is much less ambitious than many of the other popular male country artists like Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. Four stars.
