Details: Amazon.ca In his best moments on Steam, his fourth album, Alabama-raised country singer Ty Herndon powerfully conveys both frank sensuality and earnest soul-searching. In the sensuality department, Herndon serves up unbridled passion on the title tune, as he does on Randy Newman's high-energy, playfully naughty "You Can Leave Your Hat On." By contrast, on "Lookin' for the Good life" he draws a painfully honest portrait of spiritual poverty amid material plenty. "Pray for Me" is a similarly powerful, meditative statement about finding Christian strength through humility and compassion. Only now and then--on "In a New York Second" and "A Love Like That"--does Herndon succumb wholeheartedly to his chronic Achilles' heel: a weakness for musical bombast and bleating earnestness reminiscent of Michael Bolton or Garth Brooks at their most wretched and excessive. When this happens, the end result is overproduced, overperformed power-country pop ditties that are mostly glitz and smoke but little substance. --Bob Allen Product description Ty Herndon ~ Steam
