| "I'm a fan of country music. Just like the guy who has nothing to do with this industry ," says Craig Morgan, "Believe that." No convincing is necessary. When Morgan talks about country music, he's a human exclamation point. Whether referring to a track from his new album or praising the talents of a fellow songwriter or artist, melody and lyrics seem to burble up from inside and take him over. He bursts into song, obviously reveling in the vocal hitches and twang of an old-time country tune; lovingly crooning a tender ballad or joyfully ka-chunking out the rhythm of a merry toe-tapper. No wonder he calls his album I Love It. |

| Possessed of a smooth and powerful "new traditionalist" singing style that often recalls the much-revered pipes of George Strait and Randy Travis, Craig Morgan delivers an album full of good-natured homespun country seemingly in stark opposition to his former career as an elite U.S. Army commando and paratrooper. Amid gently sawing fiddles and strumming acoustic guitars, the vocalist straightforwardly professes his love for his old hometown, traditional values, and the girl next door. Morgan, who wrote or co-wrote six of the 11 songs, has an eye for plainspoken but vivid detail, which often gives the album the feel of a Garrison Keillor or Tom T. Hall-style travelogue. On the more serious-themed songs, the singer is equally at home with his subject, projecting a confidence and natural warmth usually only found in much more experienced artists. | |
