Two Lanes of Freedom - Reviewed

Two LanesTwo LanesTim McGraw’s newest release represents the product a wise journey into several areas of crossover Country which Tim has taken throughout the years. In this time he’s done everything from pure acoustic redneck on the likes of his earlier stuff to a more soulful and jazzy sound which he toyed with on 'Emotional Traffic', his 2012 offering. What we get with Two Lanes of Freedom is the perfect balance of all of this with Tim’s styles and skills represented in very fair measure throughout the 13 (or if you’re a REAL Tim fan and bought the Accelerated edition, like me, then 15) tracks included on the album.

The exciting title track 'Two Lanes of Freedom' sets the tone for the rest of the album. With its boldness, confidence and… well, freedom, it makes it clear that Tim has let himself take the wheel for this album and do things exactly how he wants to.
