"This takes precisely 10 seconds to get under your skin. The ol' boy sounds like yer next door neighbor. The band's happy foot rhythm sense makes you wanna boogie around the yard. And the lyric is a by-gum, guaranteed smile. I'd love to hear this as a No.1 record. Briggs formerly played guitar on the road with Alabama, and Teddy produced."

"Imagine Eagles-like country rock, add a sense of humor and you'll start to have a handle on Tim Briggs. The album blends rocking country, tender ballads and fun, witty songs. It opens with "Coupe de Ville" a rockin' cruising car song. The fast paced "She's a Country " celebrates the virtues of a country - in the style of Brooks & Dunn's "Rock My World." "Memphis Women and en" is a catchy celebration of two of Tim's favorite elements of the South. Tim's years in Florida left their mark on his songs. Clever lyrics, funny social commentary and danceable music reveal hints of other famous Florida musicians such as the Bellamy Brothers and Jimmy Buffett. "Cold Budweiser and a Sweet Tater" is an ode to a nearly empty refrigerator, while "Couch ato" exalts the tranquility of cushioned vegetation. Tim spent the last six years as guitarist for the country supergroup Alabama and writing songs with Teddy Gentry, Alabama's bass player. Teddy serves as producer for Tim's self-titled debut, but this is no 'Bama Lite album - Tim has something of his own to say.

"This outing by bandleader Tim Briggs, a sideman from the group Alabama, is a pleasant suprise. Briggs proves to be a capable songwriter and an engaging vocalist with a Don Henley-esque edge. In fact, comparisons to the Eagles are inevitable, but Briggs manages to convey his own identity, mainly through good song selection. Besides his own tunes, Briggs draws upon those from the likes of Alabama's Teddy Gentry, Billy Montana, David Briggs, Rick Carnes, Gary Nicholson, and Southern legends Donnie Fritts and Dan Penn. Smooth group harmonies, a Dylan-inspired harmonica, and a rocking band yield an effective mix of '60s country rock and '90s country pop. Distributed by Intersound Country.
