This 16-track, second volume of
Tim McGraw's
Greatest Hits is a stopgap that generally covers the years 2001-2004, but there are exceptions. There are a pair of tunes from 2001's
Set This Circus Down , four from
Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors (2002), and two from
Live Like You Were Dying, issued in 2004. You also get the title cuts from 1994's
Not a Moment Too Soon, and 1997's
Everywhere. Also included are the hit duets -- one with wife
Faith Hill,
"Like We Never Loved at All," from her 2005
Fireflies set -- and
"Over and Over," with
Nelly from his
Suit disc issued in 2004. From here there are no less than ten bona fide hit songs.
McGraw includes four new tunes as well to make the package irresistible to the faithful. There's a slick cover of
Ryan Adams'
"When the Stars Go Blue," Craig Wiseman and
Chris Lindsey's
"Beautiful People," "My Little Girl," from the
soundtrack to the film
Flicka, and an uncredited "bonus track," entitled
"I've Got Friends That Do." These cuts are all manned by
McGraw's longstanding band
the Dancehall Doctors and therefore have the feel of his last four records or so. If you have volume one, there is plenty of reason to have
Vol. 2, especially since
McGraw, like most other Nash Vegas chart-toppers, issue albums with filler. This second hits package complements the first beautifully, and would more than fill out most any casual
country fan's
McGraw shelf. ~ Thom Jurek
