McBride & the Ride Albums (4)
What The Critics Say
Nine years after their last outing, the trio reunites and, with help from a passel of Nashville aces, turns in a performance that sounds like they'd never taken a break. All but three of the tracks are original; a spirited cover of "Squeeze Box" proves that Pete Townshend could fit right in on Music Row if he had to. In its details and in the broad picture, Amarillo Sky is tight, seamless, a bit impersonal in the commercially acceptable sense, and chopped into radio-friendly bits; only one track tiptoes near five minutes in length. (The album as a whole is concise even by LP-era measure.) It is, in other words, emblematic of contemporary country music, no warts and all. ~ Robert L. Doerschuk, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
The third record from McBride & the Ride continues to hone the group's close harmony style. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
The title cut was the biggest hit from Sacred Ground, a more confident and thoughtful record than the band's debut Burnin' Up the Road. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Terry McBride had a hand in writing all but one of the ten cuts on this debut effort, which features the hit "Can I Count on You." ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
