Not A Moment Too Soon..., December 12, 1999
"Not A Moment Too Soon" was the record that launch Mr. McGraw's career and gave him a number one album. It soon went 5 times platium, and beat out strong competition for album on the year in 1994. The first single "Indian Outlaw" created a bit of a stir, and earned Tim many devoted fans who are still with him today. Following "Indian Outlaw" up the charts were, "Down on The Farm", "Refried Dreams," the title track "Not A Moment Too Soon," and the emotional "Don't Take The Girl." The album is not only carried by these singles, many of the unreleased cuts are great too, especially the third track "Any Other Way." For anyone who has not yet picked up this incredible album, I strongly recommend it.

Not A Moment Too Soon, October 19, 2001
With his high lonesome yodel, and jacked-up honky tonk groove, singer Tim McGraw is the latest in a new generation of country heartthrobs to capture the imagination of today's young country fans. From the opening notes of "It Doesn't Get Any Countrier Than This"--with its skinny dipping, roll in the hay, crank my tractor sexual imagery--NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON showcases McGraw's drawlin' good time delivery on a section of party-hearty arrangements.The key element in young McGraw's appealing country synthesis is the persistent undercurrent of chicken-fried rock'n'roll in the mix, as on the bluesy "40 Days And 40 Nights" and the pulsating "Ain't That Just Like A Dream," with its big, ringing arena gestures (descended from bands the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd). Not that McGraw can't get next to a ballad, as he demonstrates on the steel-guitar inflected "Wouldn't Want It Any Other Way" and the nostalgic "Don't Take The Girl." But it's the hard-charging, dancing "turbo tonk" of tunes like his big hit "Indian Outlaw"--with its shifting tom-tom groove, shuffling blues jig and fiddling square dance breaks--that best captures the rowdy spirit and rough-and-ready delivery of Tim McGraw. Daddy Tug McGraw must be proud.

A Timeless Country CD, October 23, 1999
By A Customer
I bought this album because of the famed and classic song "Don't Take The Girl". This song will bring tears to anyone's eyes, and is an unforgettable song. But it isn't the only song on the album. Once I heard the entire thing, I quickly realized why it won Album of the Year. "Indian Outlaw" is one of the cathiest and original songs you'll ever hear and "Not A Moment Too Soon" is an absolutely beautiful love ballad. "Down On The Farm" is the ultimate rural party anthem and "Refried Dreams" is a real fun song. And the album cuts are great for people who love honky tonk, neo-classic country. With 5 million albums already sold, it is just a must have for any country music fan.
