 (4 Customer Reviews)
SET THIS CIRCUS DOWN was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Country Album. "Grown Men Don't Cry" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
Don't hate Tim McGraw because he's married to one of the most glamorous women in contemporary country music (Faith Hill). Don't hate him because he wears a ten-gallon hat and sings about "The Cowboy In Me" while utilizing more image consultants than a Vogue fashion shoot. Hate him because he's so damn good at what he does. Whether you're an old-school country traditionalist or a card-carrying McGraw disciple, you can't deny the seamless production, hook-filled songcraft, and flawless vocal and instrumental performances that make up SET THIS CIRCUS DOWN. As on previous efforts, McGraw amiably combines country convention with pop-rock production. From the widescreen nostalgia of "Telluride" to the acoustic guitar-based ballad "Angry all the Time," CIRCUS handily picks up where 1999's A PLACE IN THE SUN left off. If you're overtaken by one of these songs on your car radio one day, we dare you not to sing along.

Entertainment Weekly (4/27/01, pp.114-5) - "...McGraw's career-defining work....With rumbling electric guitars and a vocal delivery that makes it feel like an early-90s Springsteen outtake....a solid, upright country act..." - Rating: B Set This Circus Down Music Set This Circus Down Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  A very well made album
This CD gives you some idea why Tim is one of the best male artist in country music.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No No Wonder Why It Sold So Many Records!
Set This Circus Down, the 2001 release from Country superstar and Faith Hill hubby, Tim McGraw, is amongst the best Country albums of all time. This album can be described as timeless, simly because, considering it is now 2005, and the record is selling quite well! I can safely assume that this album will top the charts of any best of Country list. McGraw is a really passionate man, and he dispalys that on this release. Many thought that McGraw would never be able to duplicate the suces of Circus, but those people were fooled when he released Live Live You Were Dying last year. The album topped the charts in sales, and has recieved great reviews from every major Country music outlet. Songs to check for: ALL! It's all good!

This album from Tim McGraw is probably the best I have heard in the recent times. It has foot stomping songs to soulful country ballads. I like all the songs...but would like to mention some gems..The Cowboy In Me...Telluride....Unbroken...Grown Men Don't Cry...and the rest of the songs!

The U.K.'s String Jazz caught Jack Wilkins and Jimmy Bruno in England at the same time and decided to record them under the mantle of a quartet led by Wilkins. That's misleading because Bruno is as prominent as Wilkins, and the settings range from solo performances to quartet. Whatever, the outcome is an album to be enjoyed by jazz guitar fans in particular and jazz lovers in general. This is not the only time these two have performed together. In 1997, they were together at the Benedetto Concert on Long Island, NY, named in honor of master guitar builder Robert Benedetto. The synergy they developed then is even more highly honed here. "Voyage" is high-energy stuff with Patrick Illingworth's drums ...

Set This Circus Down songs
$7.25
One has to ask why in the name of heaven Hal Ketchum allowed "Everytime I Look in Your Eyes" to be the opening track on his first album in two years. Perhaps it was a concession to Curb, or he had a momentary lapse of reason. Whatever the reason, it's one of the most unlistenable, sugary sweet, slicker than schlock excuses for a song to be heard in close to a decade. It's the only track here Ketchum didn't write or co-write, and it wasn't picked as the first single (thank God), so what the hell? Luckily, the 14 other songs here are substantially better. Ketchum produced this album (all but that cursed track) and did a fine job. It's a lot more polished than his Austin material, but the songs themselves are inspired, the arrangements are spare enough to let the subtle emotion in his voice come through the grain in the music, and the performances themselves are solid. Standout tracks include "As Long as You Love Me," a duet with the inimitably brilliant Jonell Mosser, and the title track, with its Bo Diddley shuffle done on acoustic guitars with a snarling electric in the background before it explodes into a pure roots rock extravaganza. The old R&B roots of Ketchum's New York past come through in "On Her Own Time," a stunning vocal performance. The B-sharp in the background shimmering above the guitars is a particularly nice touch. The passion in Ketchum's voice, with Mosser in the background, cracks the track wide open and what spills out is a truth that both singer and listener can believe in.
The evidence here suggests -- as it does on his other recordings -- that Ketchum couldn't write a bad ...
