Review

This Texan's voice is expressive, and it's refreshing that he makes no pretense of writing his own songs. The question: does Steiner represent country's future or its recent, bland past? The self-conscious moralizing of "What If She's an Angel" and "Tell Me Where It Hurts," a pretentious Diane Warren power ballad that puts Steiner in bombast overload, makes the answer abundantly clear. The gimmicky, irritating dramatization "What We're Gonna Do About It" (a great Starbucks plug) drives the point home even more. Even the obligatory duet, "I Don't Need Another Reason" with traditionalist icon Randy Travis, is as forced and lifeless as his remake of Paul Davis's 1977 pop hit "I Go Crazy." Only the moving story-song "The Mind of John J. Blanchard" transcends the empty fluff surrounding it. The publicity cites Steiner's varied musical influences, but his producers did him no favor by wrapping him in songs and arrangements reminiscent of dozens of other Nashville recordings of the past five years. --Rich Kienzle
