THIS IS IT - JACK INGRAM
While his last album, “Live Wherever You Are,” went a long way in making Jack Ingram a star outside his native Texas, “This Is It” will likely advance his rise even further. The Radney Foster and Gordie Sampson-penned coming of age story “Measure of a Man,” Ingram’s turn on the Hinder hit “Lips of an Angel” — arguably better than the original–and the poignant Sheryl Crow-featuring lamentation “Hold On” are among the album’s highlights. “Great Divide” paints a stark portrait of West Texas living and is one of six songs that Ingram wrote or co-wrote. His first No. 1 single, “Wherever You Are,” and the hilarious breakup song “Love You” were the only two studio tracks on Ingram’s last outing, and both also appear on this set. Billboard
