5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Right Up There with A '63 Vette, April 12, 2000

This is one of ten albums that I would take with me if stranded on an dessert island. Mac is one of the most gifted song writers of all time. The song "Opinion on Love" has got to be the epitomy of calling like it is and should be required listening for all single folks. Each song offers a story on life as only MAC can tell.

This is one of my favorite albums. I'd love to see Mac again. It breaks my heart that he's under-promoted and almost unknown. If you love a great tune and lyrics that touch you so deeply, it's as if he knows your life, you will love this music and never let it go. When I share Mac's music with my friends, the reaction is always the same - why don't I hear him on the radio? Why haven't I heard this before?

I've concluded that it's because he doesn't fit the narrow musical categories of our radio stations. If you're lucky enough to happen on a Mac McAnally album, it's always in "country music". Country music fans hear him and say, "This isn't really country music." Maybe it's that the subjects of Mac's music align more with country music themes than with other musical styles. Pop music fans say it's not pop. It's not really rock and roll. It's all the those and more. He's so unbelievably talented, almost a musical Renaissance Man, that his lack of air play is everyone's loss.

At a loss for a gift for a friend, lover, ex-lover, neighbor, relative, in-law, co-worker? Buy this album for them. They'll wonder how you chose music so perfectly suited for them.

A few other artists that I like for the same musical reasons are James Taylor, Karla Bonoff, Jimmy Buffet, and Jackson Browne.

Lyrically, however, none of them are in Mac Macanally's league. Listen, and you decide.

I can only echo the sentiments of the other reviewers that this is one of my all-time favorite albums, and it's about time it was issued on CD. You'd be hard-pressed to find more insightful lyrics ("Driving Away My Pain," "Lazy in Love," "No Problem Here") or better flat-out Travis picking on an acoustic guitar than the dueling lines in "Opinion on Love." Now, when the heck will Mac's other equally fine, early '80s album, "Nothing But the Truth," be released on CD??
