John Michael Montgomery - John Michael Montgomery

When I saw the #6 album for this week, I said "I've never heard of John Michael Montgomery," but that's not true. Last year I reviewed All-4-One which included a cover of I Swear that was written and originally performed by John Michael Montgomery. I mentioned this in my review, but 10 months later his name did not remain embedded in my memory.

I Swear isn't on this eponymous album, but I Can Love You Like That is, which was also covered by All-4-One to great success. Playing this album I Can Love You Like That seemed familiar, but I'm not sure if it was the Country or R&B version I have heard before. All-4-One has many thanks to give John Michael Montgomery!

Outside of the All-4-One/John Michael Montgomery connection, I find nothing interesting about this album. It's not bad, but it's nothing special. The first line of the first song includes the words "I drive a pickup truck." This album was not trying to break new ground. If you're into this kind of Country music, I'm sure it delivers. I'm not, so it doesn't for me, and I can't recommend this album.
