Pro Reviews: Josh Gracin
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews With his allAmerican charm and loyal following, Josh Gracin defied predictions and criticisms to finish fourth in the second season of the phenomenally popular American Idol television program. As the only contestant to embrace country music, Gracin set himself apart and played to a builtin audience in a format that none of the other finalists were tapping. Released at a time when a slew of other Idolists were dropping their own discs, Gracin's decision to go country on his debut was a wise move, as it gave him the opportunity to stake a claim in an open field while the others were left fighting for a tiny piece of mainstream real estate. Teaming up with producer Marty Williams (Rascal Flatts), Gracin mines the countrypop territory that butts up against property owned by artists like Lonestar, and although he hasn't found any golden nuggets like "Amazed," he does surface with a set of quality tunes that have a few gems among them. The hit single "I Want to Live" is the type of wellcrafted composition that, with minor changes in the arrangement, could work as an adult contemporary song, a bombastic pop/rocker, or, in this case, a thundering countrypop tune dressed up with a fiddle and steel guitar. The moody "Wheels" is a dark tale of longing that drives the album forward right into the lightningfast lyrics of the clever "Nothin' to Lose." Elsewhere, the disc has most of the ingredients that make a basic musical country stew, including big stringdrenched ballads ("Brass Bed"), an annoyingly cute tune ("I Would Look Good With You"), a ballsy rocker ("Turn It Up"), and a patriotic tearjerker ("The Other Little Soldier"). Most of these songs are a bit bland and not quite as tasty as the urgent "Endless Helpless Hoping," but there is nothing that leaves a bad aftertaste. Much like he has done with Rascal Flatts, Marty Williams has designed a perfectly polished collection that suits Gracin's personality and vocals (which have transferred to the recording studio quite well). There is nothing daring or adventurous in the music or with Gracin himself, but that's just fine. Considering all the hoopla and instant fame generated by the contest, it's remarkable that he was able to focus and record a consistent and pleasant debut. He may not have won the title, but Josh Gracin has recorded an album befitting an American (country) Idol. - Aaron Latham, All Music Guide |

Pros: EXCELLANT ALBUM !!!!!!!!
Cons: NONE
I believe this album is a great way for Josh to head off his career in country music, I can't wait for him to release another one (I HOPE HE DOES!!!!)
The tracks on this album are EXCELLANT!!!!!
I can't get enough of his voice,I watched him on American Idol and loved him, 2 regrets are that he didn't win and he wasn't able to join the tour.
When they were here in Indianapolis my daughter's and I were at the concert and it was awesome!!!!
Hats off to Reuben and Clay though, the 3 of them were my favorite.
Avid listener of all types of music,
Kimberly ...
