Recorded at The Money Pit, The Music Mill and JTM Recording, Nashville, Tennessee.
I THINK ABOUT YOU is definitive, radio-ready American country music: slick and sentimental, with a strong Texas tenor at the helm and some of Nashville's best songwriters backing him up. Collin Raye follows up the chart-topping success of his hits "Love, Me," and "In This Life," with this latest effort, a collection of catchy tunes, but with a catch--Raye sings songs that are about much more than broken romance and honky-tonk nights.
"I Think About You" is a perfect example of Raye's commitment to sing about real, gut-level issues, and the emotions they bring out. These are songs that he says he "wants to be the kind people feel are their own." And there's probably not a young father in the world who can't identify with the title track, in which Raye surveys the unsavory, abuse-filled lives of certain modern women, and worries about the fate of his own eight-year-old daughter.
Musically, Raye plays it as straight as can be--guitars jangle along happily on numbers like "Sweet Miss Behavin'," or pick out full, lonesome notes on ballads like "Heart Full Of Rain." The chord changes are big and bold, but never over the top, and his back-up musicians know how to produce a perfect blend. In many ways, this disc defines the modern country sound--with a well-placed steel guitar line in "Rain," or maybe with the single cymbal riding the beat throughout the intro of "What If Jesus Comes Back Like That." I THINK ABOUT YOU is always tasteful, never nasty, smoothly professional.
